Colour Me Grey Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

( the family cat ) 

Pour yourself into a drink 

It's what you think 

I don't have anything to say at all 

A funny mess, don't you agree 

Just you and me 

I don't have anything to do at all 

Shall we go out tonight 

Will that be alright 

Shall we search for our fortune and fame 

For oil on peaceful waters 

Always stings the same 

So just stab me in the back 

And call me lover 

For nothing now can ever be the same 

We'll swap stories of past conquests 

We'll tell each other lies 

And I'll try so hard to shoulder all the blame 

Shall we go out tonight 

Will that be alright 

Shall we search for our fortune and fame 

For oil on peaceful waters 

Always stings the same
