"Boy Blue" is a song by The Electric Light Orchestra.

The song is the third track on the album Eldorado and was the second single from the afore mentioned LP released in the US.The difference between this version and the Eldorado version is that it's missing the entire orchestral intro, the orchestral parts of the bridge, and the entire next to last chorus. Despite it being one of the more favoured tracks off the album it failed to chart. Eldorado The b-side was the title track from the album and was also used as a B-side in 1978 on the reverse of Wild West Hero
