lyrics

Big colourful heart

When all my dragons are well fed
the sheets are clean, the table set
and sentimental corners have been turned.
We’ll leave behind the things we bought
and wrapped up warm in a five pound note
we’ll set off with only animals on board.

In a big colourful heart
we can strike out for land
and make a new start
in a big colourful heart.

Your guilt is first into the sea
along with all my allergies.
Your conscience and my sinus will be clear.
So ditch the anchor head out east
the west is old or dead at best.
We’ll stop when our true voices can be heard.

In a big colourful heart
we can strike out for land
and make a new start
in a big colourful heart.
In a big innocent heart
we can set out the rules
to set us apart
in a big innocent heart.

Actions do speak loud
I must confess, I’m feeling quite obsessed
with a world that looked the other way
while Josiah Warren ruled the day.

And when we find our distant shore
we won’t be calling up our friends
“Come join us!”
‘cause that shit’s been tried before.
So don’t bother to put it to the test
Utopias are hell at best.
You only end up hating those you love.

With a big colourful heart...
