Love, Love is all I need
Like you gave to me
Lust is only greed
Now I'm down on my knees.....
You read the paper
Red, your eyes
Orange-d deception
Yellow bellied lies
Green coloured envy disguise
(Green coloured envy disguise)
Lost, lost is how I feel
Like a forgotten song
I don't know the words
And like the tune you are gone....
I Blue my chances
Lost control
Violet-ed trust in me
No parole
Indigo stains on my soul
(Indigo stains on my soul)
Chorus
I had everything in you why did I look for more
Coloured memories washed away like footprints on the shore
I said I could bring you back
I spoke too soon
More chance of Christmas in June
More chance of Rainbows on the Moon
Time, time has passed me by
Left me on my own
Staring at the sky
Cold heart in stone.....
Repeat Chorus
More chance of rainbows
More chance of rainbows
More chance of Rainbows on the Moon
Rainbows on the Moon
Rainbows on the Moon
This all came from a great song title idea from Cliff (Coates), my songwriting partner at the time. Cliff often came up with great titles which I found very inspiring and this was one of his best. He probably found it pretty annoying that I ran off with it and came back soon afterwards with a whole song!
I love word play and usually all I need is an idea or a subject to play around with to get me going, (the same thing had happened with 'You Left Paris In My Car', an idea of our friend Bob Coleman, the year before) so the idea of 'Rainbows on the Moon' was amazingly stimulating to my imagination and I thought it would be really clever to try to get all the colours of the rainbow into the lyrics
Cliff had some good ideas for the arrangement and we did a (very poor quality) demo of the song on cassette tape, with two vocals singing to each other. But here I have done a simplified version with one vocal all in the first person
Hopefully this one will get the full production treatment one day...
