Download The Icicle Works - Love Is A Wonderful Colour
Lyrics
My friend and I, were talking one evening
Beside some burning wood
Trading tales of places we came upon
When the times were good
Spoke of a girl he viewed like no other
Whom he had come to know, I swallowed hard and listened intently
Resigned beside the glow…
Always there, it’s standing proudly
When all else falls down
It’s all around you, didn’t it find you
When you said you couldn’t be found
When love calls me, I will be running swiftly
To find out
Just what all the fuss is all about
Unrelentless, deep in the strangest feelings
Believe me
Love is full of wonderful colour…
I insist that you pick the wrong one
To preach your theories to
Simmer down, we’ll run for a reason
To see what faith can do
Love is a beacon, on the horizon
Watch when you touch down
Reality finds you fumbling for reasons
When the chance comes 'round
When love calls me, I will be running swiftly
To find out
Just what all the fuss is all about
Unrelentless, deep in the strangest feelings
Believe me
Love is full of wonderful colour…
Take my confidence to guide you
Through the fallen hope inside you
Love is full of wonderful colour
Fabulous track! I saw him at Wigan The old courts tonight and he did a solo of this track before the main act a tears for fear tribute band! This was better than the main act ; done on acoustic guitar and his own voice with no backing. It took me right back to a better time!
I was there buying up all the singles in good old Woollies. This was one of those songs that was pop perfection in an era when there was a lot of good music. Sweeping arrangement, perfectly crafted lyrics. Epic build up to the last chorus. The 12 inch wasnt bad too. Love hearing this now and again and it takes me back to that 83-84 era
Tremendous track. Bought this at the time. Always reminded me of the Walker brothers. Great that math from dodgy plays live with them occasionally. Another great band.
