Written on the road in Scotland, summer 2020, at the height of my Orange obsession.

lyrics

ORANGE !

There is is a special colour
that I love above all others,

oh yeah!
Hold on...

love come in many colours,
God speaks in the language of flowers,

that's for sure;
but I adore...

ORANGE !
ORANGE !

You're the key, you're the king-pin
of the whole rainbow;
day-glow clothes of men
working on the road...

Orange is a funny colour,
high-viz but under cover...

Oh yeah?
How so?

Colour of the sacred fire,
Irn Bru and the Bengal tiger,
Heinz baked beans...

ORANGE !
ORANGE !

Clementine, tangerine dreams,
the middle traffic light,
gold bars
and whisky in the jar...

All the robes at Boddhigaya
where the Buddha became inspired,
I am told
that he turned

ORANGE !
ORANGE !

Marigolds, marmalade skies
just before sunrise,
the Gruffalo's eyes,
a slice of pumpkin pie...

Now the modern party's over,
let the fields return to clover,
knit yourself a nice pullover
bright as sun

in ORANGE !
ORANGE !

Orangutans, cheddar cheese, Donald Trump's tan,
and peaches in a can
so much brighter than
in ordinary life...

Bring on the ORANGE !
Bring on the ORANGE !
Bring on the ORANGE !
Bring on the ORANGE !
Bring a little orange sun
to brighten the day,
c'mon everyone!

Bring on the ORANGE !
Bring on the ORANGE !
Bring on the ORANGE !
Bring on the ORANGE
Bring a little orange sun
to brighten the day,
to chase the gray clouds away!
