lyrics
I dedicate a colour to
my dearest friends and family who
so solemnly and nicely dressed
come visit me, I must confess
I feel like Gina might
upon her opening night

Fiery red I give my mom
my dad transparent he is gone
my sisters I give black and white
and guy I hate well fuck 'em bright
my friends gets shades of blue
and ginger green to you

And so the hounding begins a sudden crack on the shins whip stinging
say oh hello
you look like someone I know while sniggering up your sleeve a kid
a joke just like wee guys in a schoolyard aged five the baddest honcho
alive track down your friends to a bar over steps in a car say that's
a pretty excuse makes mine a pinapple juice bugbears are plenty round
here give him a clip on the ear says dad infront of tv decide channel
randomly I feel something coming on a funny turn or a wrong made
causally like dad infront of the tv regurgitation and goo ten
squillion eyes watch as you put up a pretty good fight on this your
opening night on this your opening night on this your opening night

notes

"I feel like Gina might / Upon her opening night" refers to John Cassavetes' movie Opening Night starring Gina Rowlands as a drunk theatre actress. A great work.

"My dad transparent he is gone" is probably about Tom's father's death.

The live version released on the FOTFM single was recorded during an acoustic session on Studio Brussel.
