Colours
By John Salter
Intro
(young woman sighing and yawning)
Verse 1
I said hello to that reflection in the hall again
Really should clean the dust off you, shouldn’t I?
You looked as bored as I do,
Dressed in your dirty greys.
Go brush your teeth!
In case someone calls.
Oh, who would that be?
Loungeroom Queen.
Pre-chorus
If you really want to set me free,
You’d break down my door and rescue me.
Chorus
You’d take me up into your blue-sky,
So clear and blue.
You’d lay a path of yellow bricks,
So straight and true.
They would all turn green with envy,
At me and you.
As I skipped & ran away in my,
Red ruby shoes.
Verse 2
It’s raining now, should close that window there.
It lets the draught in, and my spirits out.
The cat’s growling like a little lion,
Oh no, forgot to buy that special tin of his favourite food.
Damn, the coupon’s expired,
I will have to pay full price.
Bridge
If pink bubbles floated into my sight,
You’d know what to do, to win the fight.
Chorus
You’d take me up into your blue-sky,
So clear and blue.
You’d lay a path of yellow bricks,
So straight and true.
They would all turn green with envy,
At me and you.
As I skipped & ran away in my,
Red ruby shoes
Verse 3
I’m swept up in your whirlwind,
And spun around.
I’m scared to break your spell on me,
Fall to the ground.
What was once so black and white,
No shades of grey.
Is showered all in emerald gems,
A magic day.
Chorus
You’d take me up into your blue-sky,
So clear and blue.
You’d lay a path of yellow bricks,
So straight and true.
They would all turn green with envy,
At me and you.
As I skipped & ran away in my,
Red ruby shoes.
Outro
Fly me to your crimson dawn, beyond the night.
Fly me to your crimson dawn, beyond the night.
Fly me to your crimson dawn, beyond the night.
