sound as colour - lost crowns lyrics
some people say they can see sound as colour
i don’t believe they can
they don’t know where imagination ends
or maybe they just want to impress their friends
they make out they’ve got some special secret sk!ll
but i don’t believe them and i never will
it’s no use sitting on the fence
stand up, say “this does not make sense!”
sound can’t be purple, blue or green
what’s heard is different from what’s seen
some people say they can see sound as colour i don’t believe they can
and so this habit that they’ve got into
makes clouds of conviction too thick to see through
it’s what jumped*up children like i was might say
i’ve grown up since then so tell me why can’t they? (why can’t they)
it’s no use sitting on the fence
stand up, say “scoundrel, get thee hence!”
this ‘sound as colour’, it’s a joke
but you can’t argue with these folk
they think they’re not like you or me
with sights they hear and sound they see
i’ll bet five hundred years ago
no one believed it, so*
and did you know, it’s even got a name!
really, they mean no harm but it’s not what they claim
don’t tell me you
think that it’s true
don’t tell me you’re like that lot too
that’s not the way things are
it’s just some big mistake that’s been taken too far
don’t tell me you
think that it’s true
you must be on drugs if you do
some people say they can see sound as colour
i don’t believe that they can
it’s no use sitting on the fence
i’ll bet you shillings, pounds or pence
what they say they see they do not
and even if they do, so what?
i don’t care what you think you’ve proved
i shall not, i shall not be moved
themselves say they talk with the dead
try fooling someone else instead
they’ll boast of anything that seems
like meaning in their boring dreams
voices articulate and wise
in their heads and behind their eyes
tell me no more, i’ve heard enough
of virgo, taurus, all that stuff
bent spoons and women sawn in half
you think that’s true? don’t make me laugh
it’s no use sitting on the fence
i’ll bet you shillings, pounds or pence
what they say they see they do not
and even if they do, so what?
i don’t care what you think you’ve proved
i shall not, i shall not be moved
themselves say they talk with the dead
try fooling someone else instead
they’ll boast of anything that seems
like meaning in their boring dreams
voices articulate and wise
in their heads and behind their eyes
tell me no more, i’ve heard enough
of virgo, taurus, all that stuff
bent spoons and women sawn in half
you think that’s true? don’t make me laugh!
