Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My jumper was navy, I thought it was black
Turned a whiter shade of pale
[Chorus]
Someone became green with envy
Left the blues behind
'Cause I was colourblind
[Verse 2]
Now I'm sitting in the sun, I'm tryna get sunburned
Everything I thought about peels into insignificance
I'm just tryna get brown 'cause I'm browned off
With this situation
[Refrain]
There was once black-and-white movies
That became Technicolor
There were sepia photographs in my album, in my scrapbook
I look upon with wonder
[Chorus]
Someone became green with envy
I started to love out loud, said, "You must be joking"
I left the blues behind
When I became just colourblind
[Instrumental]
There was once black-and-white movies, then
Then it became Technicolor
There were sepia photographs in my scrapbook
That I looked upon with wonder
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Now I'm sitting in the sun, I'm tryna get sunburnt
Everything I thought peels into insignificance
I'm just tryna get brown, I'm a bit red
But I feel like I'm just browned off
[Verse 4]
My jumper was navy, I thought it was black
When I turned a whiter shade of pale
You saw red when someone was green with envy
And I became colourblind
[Chorus]
I thought I left the blues behind
When I became colourblind
[Outro]
Now I, I realise I was colourblind
Now I realise, I got wise, baby
I must've been colourblind
But now I realise, I got wise
To you, I was colourblind
