The Colour Of Spring

Talk Talk The Colour Of Spring Lyrics
1.Give It Up

Lyricist:Tim Friese-greene, Mark David Hollis

From the place that I stand
To the land that is openly free
Watching rivers run black
By the trees that are vacant to greed

Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance
Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance
And the jokes just started

Gotta give it up
Give it up,
Give it up
Gotta give it up

Or tell me why I'm so wrong
Where does love come from
If you've sold your reasoning out

How can I learn
If I don't understand what I see
If I'm giving this mess
Take a walk through a nightmare so real

Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance
Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance
And the jokes just started

Gotta give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Gotta give it up

Or tell me why I'm so wrong
Where does luck come from
When you've never been without

Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Gotta give it up

Give it up
Give it up
Gotta give it up

Tell me if I'm so wrong
Where does love come from
If you've sold your reasoning out

Or tell me if I'm so wrong
Where does luck come from
When you've never been without

Can do it
You can do it
You can do it
Gotta give up


2.Time It's Time

Lyricist:Tim Friese-greene, Mark David Hollis

Nobody knows how long
Rustling leaves unrhyme
Lullaby breeze unsung
Babel of dreams unwinds in memory

As bad, as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
And love is only sleeping
Wrapped in neglect

Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live through the pain
Time it's time to live, now that it's all over

Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live through the pain
Now that it's over, now that it's over

Kissing a gray garden
Shadow and shade
Sunlight treads softly

As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
Contempt is ever breeding
Trapped in itself

Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live through the pain
Time it's time to live, now that it's all over

Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live through the pain
Now that it's over, now that it's over, now that it's over

As bad as bad becomes
It's not a part of you
The wicked and the weeping
Ramble or run

Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live for living
Time it's time to live, now that it's all over

Time it's time to live
Time it's time to live for living
Time it's time to live, now that it's all over

Now that it's over, now that it's over
Now that it's over, now that it's over
Rest your head


3.Happiness Is Easy

Lyricist:Tim Friese-greene, Mark David Hollis

Makes you feel much older
Sublime the blind parade
It wrecks me how they justify their acts
Of war they assemble, they pray

Take good care of what the priests say
After death it's so much fun
Little sheep, don't let your feet stray

(Happiness is easy)
Joy be written upon the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love

Guilt upon their shoulders
How well the cause evades
Infecting your religions, claiming pacts
It's easy to shoulder the blame

(Happiness is easy)
Little ships of galilee
(Happiness is easy)
Standing on the sea
(Happiness is easy)
Jesus tried to love us all
(Happiness is easy)
Be a friend to me

Try to teach my children
To recognize excuse before it acts
From love and conviction to pray

Take good care of what the priests say
After death it's so much fun
Little sheep, don't let your feet stray

(Happiness is easy)
Little ships of galilee
Standing on the sea
Jesus tried to love us all
Be a friend to me

Little ships of galilee
Standing on the sea
Jesus tried to love us all
Be a friend to me

Joy be written upon the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love
Gather us in love


4.Chameleon Day

Lyricist:Carol Connors, Tamara Kline

Only of the night
And its darkness, am I callin'?
Only of the night
My relief in its fallin'

Breathe on me eclipse my mind
It's in some kind of disarray

Killin' time, I cradle fire
(Chameleon days)
Chameleon day


5.I Don't Believe In You

Lyricist:Tim Friese-greene, Mark David Hollis

Now the fun is over
Where do words begin
I'm trying to find the path ahead

Any way you say it
The charade goes on
But your eyes won't see it
It's the same old song

I don't believe you
I don't believe you

Promises so golden
Years have proved them wrong
I'm trying to leave some self respect

Any way you say it
Our decline goes on
But your pride won't heed it
It's the same old song

I don't believe you
I don't believe you
I don't, I don't believe in you

And the way you play it
Is the way you want
Any way you sing it
It's the same old song

I don't believe you
I don't believe you
I don't believe you

I don't believe you


6.Life's What You Make It

Lyricist:Tim Friese-greene, Mark David Hollis

Baby, life's what you make it
Can't escape it
Baby, yesterday's favourite
Don't you hate it

Jesus loves all life
Life's what you make it
Jesus loves all life

Baby, life's what you make it
Don't back date it
Baby, don't try to shade it
Beauty is naked

Everything's all right
Life's what you make it
Everything's all right
Life's what you make it

Baby, life's what you make it
Celebrate it
Anticipate it
Yesterday's faded
Nothing can change it
Life's what you make it

Everything's all right
Life's what you make it
Everything's all right
Life's what you make it

Everything's all right
Yeah yeah
Everything's all right
Everything's all right
Life's what you make it


7.Living in Another World

Lyricist:Tim Friese-greene, Mark David Hollis

Better parted
I see people crying
Truth gets harder
There's no sense in lying

Help me
Find my way from this maze
I can't help myself

When I see tenderness before you left
(Forget)
That even breaking up was never meant
(Forget)
But only angels look before they tread
(Forget)

(Living in another world to you)
(Living in another world to you)
(Living in another world to you)

Better parted
I see people hiding
Speech gets harder
There's no sense in writing

Help me
Find the way from this maze
I can't help myself

When I see tenderness before you left
(Forget)
That even breaking up was never meant
(Forget)
But only angels look before they tread
(Forget)

(Living in another world to you)
(Living in another world to you)
(Living in another world to you)

Help me
Find a way from this maze
I'm living in another world to you
And I can't help myself

Did I see tenderness where you saw hell?
(Forget)
Did I see angels in the hand I held?
(Forget)
God only knows what kind of tale you'd tell
(Forget)

(Living in another world to you)
(Living in another world to you)
(Living in another world to you)


8.April 5th

Lyricist:Tim Friese-greene, Mark David Hollis

Here she comes
Silent in her sound
Here she comes
Fresh upon the ground

Come, gentle spring
Come at winter's end
Gone is the pallow
From a promise that's nature's gift

Waiting for the color of spring

Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Color of spring

Here she comes
Laughter in her kiss
Here she comes
Shame upon her lips

Come, wanton spring
Come for birth, you live
Youth takes its bow
Before the summer, the seasons bring

Waiting for the color of spring

Let me, let me breathe

Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
...
