Colour Me - The Blue Aeroplanes

Let me tell you

Tell me something

Tell me what it is you do

Give me something

Time or someone

Someone worth my talking to

I’ve paid

I’m owned

I’m set

I’m over

I’m talking to you

In bar code

Yeah, you got Piaf, Marlowe

Dylan Thomas, all those beats

They could be played by Tom Waits

They made a mess of their lives

No regrets?

Well, of course

Cover me with love affairs

Cover me with roses

Colour me with burnt sienna

Show me where my heart is

Kiss it away

Kiss it away

Leaning on the stairs in your sweet house

You can make me

Seem like you

OK I like you

You can me me like you

OK I’m like you

But that’s not all there is

How do you want to

Describe this?

Why?

Draw yourself a painting

From someone else’s well head

Buy one.

Steal one

Give the money to the artist anonymously

But …

… cover me with love affairs

Cover me with roses

Colour me with burnt sienna

Show me where it all is

How your picture is here

It’s in my head

It’s sent from an ocean

A gender apart

Elvis sings Return to Sender

Runs his wheel

We all get younger

Love is thirst

Sex is hunger

All that reads as one for the road

Listen to me

Listen to me talking

Talking to you in bar code

I’ll talk you

Talk me a bargain

Seal me with a kiss and take me home
