lyrics

WHITE WATER RAFTING

I thought that my blood was too cold
And the bones in these arms much too old
To go white water rafting
With hearts that go laughingly so.

You said "Look - Kandinsky's on view"
I said if I go then will you?
It's not terribly modern
But then I've forgotten it too.

All of sudden I'm falling
Into the colour of you
Not that I mind being painted
Any old colour, anything's better than blue

We set off for London that day
And you listened to songs that I'd played
In a world without sparkle
A place where my heart couldn't stay.


And we crossed from a bridge to the past
Where the futurists hide behind glass
then I kissed you - how shocking!
While Warhol was mocking the mass.

All of sudden I'm falling
Into the colour of you
Not that I mind being painted
Any old colour, anything's better than blue.

I thought that my blood was too cold
And the bones in these arms much too old
To go white water rafting
With hearts that go laughingly so
To go shooting the rapids
And break with the habits
Of old
To go white water rafting
With hearts that go laughingly so.
