Colourful Lyrics - Singles - Brendan Adams

The son of a teacher didn't learn a lot 

Turning time with the hopeless in a vacant plot 

Soaking up the streets in a colourful place 

He lives in the spirit behind his face 

People they laugh and pull his chain 

While the government perpetuates the peoples pain 

Jobs are scarce and life ain't cheap and thus the young brother couldn't get no sleep 

Cause he knows 

It's there 

But the fool won't scare 

The ghost in his heart won't go away 

The ghost in the heart won't go away 

So he feeds it with love till the spirits say 

That the ghost must go away 

His left sober and undone 

And the joy he once found don't make no fun 

In moments where he thinks, mother prayed 

And father said forget what you have learnt 

The street corner light, it offers hope 

That he stuffs in a pipe and gladly smokes 

And while he's high the ghost it speaks 

And his heart's left troubled while it seeks 

For heaven and grace 

In this place 

He walks with a smile on his face 

Because he lives in a colourful place 

He walks with at sown pace 

The soles of his feet above disgrace 

The son of the teachers falls in love 

With an idea filled with romantic stuff 

All too aware of tragic fate 

But that's how it is in a colourful place 

For all time it's there 

But this fool won't scare
