lyrics

Colour of Your Love

I've seen the writing on the wall,
the magazines under your bed.
I've heard you on your mobile phone.
I've heard the voices in your head.

I've heard the rumour of your ways;
your tightness and your lofty grin;
control-freak at a rodeo.
You'll not surrender, not give in.

Scarlet, yellow, mordant thee - your social value so cocksure.
Fire, soil, hot air and sea - your elemental miscomposure.
Bile, blood, melancholy - your humour writ by stars above.
So - take your poisoned hands off me - I know the colour of your love.

I've seen you when you've drunk too much.
I've seen the way you treat your wife.
I've seen the man behind your eyes.
I've rubbed the texture of your life.

I've eavesdropped on your late-night calls,
your Internet activity.
Your Visa statement still appals -
"Services Rendered", "Pay TV".

I've seen you scheme behind my back.
With your innocent smile and wounded tones,
you subvert my tranquil home and hearth
with your posture as a chaperone.

With silver fork borne in your mouth;
friendly seemed your burnished tongue,
which wrapped its snake-like coils round me
to persuade me that I did no wrong.

I'd loved your pleasant company.
Your facile banter - empty chat.
And, buoyed up by your wandering eyes
I beached on your ego's Ararat.

I've scratched your sweaty spineless back.
I've touched your pock-marked facial skin.
Disapproved of your deodorant
which fails to mask the stench of sin.
