The Chaffeur Lyrics

Out on the tar plains the glides are moving
All looking for a new place to hide
You sit beside me so newly charming

The line see blule silver is a remembered line from a book read by Le Bon in childhood. I think it probably refers to red shift by alan garner as this was about time travel and the phrase blue silver was used often in the book.

Simon LeBon's commentary of The Chaffeur in the Live From London DVD claims, that, the line, "sing blue silver", was a memory he had of a childhood book. It was about time travel, and when sombody would travel through time, they would, "see blue silver".
