Black Is the Colour Songtext
von The Popes featuring Shane MacGowan

Black is the colour of my love affair
I take her hand, she leads me where
My dark mind falls with familiar ease
And only once is that you please

Perfection, beauty, her looks so fine
Upon my lips as she tastes so fine
You kept your hair, I′ve already lost mine
Forever more I take your fire

Black is the colour
Black is the colour,, yeah
Black is the colour
Black is the colour, yeah


With love comes pain and I lose myself
The more I need, the less she helps
I fear she's taken it all from me
I sodomise all the other seed

Black is the colour (of my true love affair)
Black is the colour, yeah (of my true love affair)
Black is the colour (of my true love affair)
Black is the colour, yeah (of my true love affair)

Black is the colour of my love affair
I take her hand, she leads me where
My dark mind falls

(A thousand people and people in love, my dark mind falls
A thousand people and people in love)


Black is the colour, yeah (of my true love affair)
Black is the colour (of my true love affair)
Black is the colour, yeah (of my true love affair)
Black is the colour (of my true love affair)
Black is the colour, I′m a fool I swear
Black is the colour, I'm a fool I swear
Black is the colour, I'm a fool I swear
