  albümle aynı ismi taşıyan blue alert şarkısının sözleri de şöyledir..sözler leonard cohen masa üzerindeki şarkı sözü eskizlerinden etkilenerek yazılmıştır..
  
  there's perfume burning in the air
  bits of beauty everywhere
  shrapnel flying; soldier hit the dirt
  she comes so close. you feel her then
  she tells you no and no again
  your lip is cut on the edge of her pleated skirt
  blue alert
  
  visions of her drawing near
  arise, abide, and disappear
  you try to slow it down; it doesn't work
  it's just another night i guess
  all tangled up in nakedness
  you even touch yourself
  you're such a flirt
  blue alert
  
  you know how nights like this begin
  the kind of knot your heart gets in
  any way you turn is going to hurt
  there's perfume burning in the air
  bits of beauty everywhere
  shrapnel flying; soldier hit the dirt
  blue alert. blue alert
  
  she breaks the rules so you can see
  she's wilder than you'll ever be
  you talk religion but she won't convert
  her body's twenty stories high
  you try to look away, you try
  but all you want to do is get there first
  blue alert
• bu şarkıyı half the perfect world albumunde madeleine peyroux hanımefendi de seslendirmiş
• madeleine peyroux yorumu libidoyu tavan yaptırır.
• anjani'nin albüm tanıtımından;
  
  blue alert:
  1. a trance of pure awareness in the presence of naked beauty
  2. the warning light that flares between desire and despair
  3. the alarm in the heart when you step out of your daydreams onto an actual erotic landscape
  
  peyroux'nun tını itibariyle şarkının meşrebini değiştirdiği ve bunu sanki dinleyicinin kulağını öper gibi işlediği bir kesinlik. anjani versiyonu ise gecenin kör bir vakti artık yorulmuş bir solistin son şarkısını piyanistin yanına oturup onunla oynaşarak mırıldanmasını andırıyor. ve fakat kanımca bizi asıl katatonilere verecek olan şey şarkıyı, bay cohen'in sesinden dinlemek olacaktır. gören duyan var ise beri gelsin.
