lyrics

A bit of blue
Enough to stain these clouds a better hue
To maybe make me change the view
Though something tells me nothing’s new
To you but I could see it through
And I would say to you

You’re seeking black and white reasons
For these technicoloured feelings
And still nothing comes to life
Cos it’s drained as the grey of each and everyday
It could do with a bit of blue

A bit of blue
Enough to make me think, think it through
To maybe make me change my mind,
Though nothing tells me that I’m defined
By you, and I could see it through
But I don’t know what to do

I’m seeking black and white reasons
For these technicoloured feelings
And still nothing comes to life
Cos it’s drained as the grey of each and everyday
It could do with a bit of blue

We could paint our dreams on a big blank screen
But still nothing, still nothing would come alive

We’re seeking black and white reasons
For these technicoloured feelings
And still nothing comes to life
Cos it’s drained as the grey of each and everyday
It could do with a bit of blue

Seeking black and white truth
Til we’ve nothing left to prove
What we could do with a bit of blue
