Colourblind

My jumper was navy, I thought it was black Turned to the whitest shade of pale Someone became green with envy Left the blues behind 'cause I was colourblind

Now I'm sitting in the sun, I'm trying to get sunburnt Everything I thought about pales in the insignificance I'm just trying to get brown 'cause I'm browned off With this situation

There were once black and white movies Then it became Technicolour Then I've seen your photographs in my album, in my scrapbook I looked upon with wonder

Someone became green with envy I started to laugh out loud, said, "You must be joking" I left the blues behind When I became just colourblind

There were once black and white movies Then it became Technicolour There I've seen your photographs in my scrapbook That I looked upon and wondered, yeah-yeah

Now I'm sitting in the sun, I'm trying to get sunburnt Everything I thought about pales in the insignificance I'm just trying to get brown, I'm a bit red But I feel like I'm just browned off

My jumper was navy, I thought it was black When I turned to the whitest shade of pale You're so red when someone was green with envy And I became colourblind

I thought I left the blues behind While I became colourblind Now I realised I was colourblind Now I realised, I got wise, baby I must have been colourblind

And now I realise, I got wise To you, I was colourblind
