I was there at the station when the colours combined
I’ve been trying to change them all with my mind
I’m out of fire and the cupboards are bare
My love left and I got nothing to share
So I put my last dollar on the railroad track
But no train came so I took it back
I put it in the gumball crackerjack prize
I won a mood ring and it was just my size
It said, what colour are you? What colour are you?
Some have it all, still it ain’t enough
I was aching for love, even the slightest touch
A young woman walked into that lonesome place
She said I know that look I’ve seen your face
I’ve been there before, it’s a terrible place
Now I’m bound for glory, I’m overdue
I’m sick of seeing red and feeling blue
What colour are you? What colour are you?
I’ve been trying to keep you off my mind
I’m trying to keep these colours all in line
I’m a hostage in a forgotten war, tied to a rock on the ocean floor
To be honest with you, I forget what I was fighting for
People turn green with envy, black with hate
Why can’t we all just communicate?
What colour are you? What colour are you?
And my heart keeps beating like an old bass drum
There’s plenty more of that, where that came from
And I'll still lay it on the line if the right time comes
And even if I’m scared to death, white with fear
I’ve been black and blue, I’ve even disappeared
What colour are you? What colour are you?
I was there at the station when the colours aligned
And in that lonesome place I felt peace in my mind
I’m on a golden wave length sunset hue,
I’m sick of seeing red and feeling blue

As a lifelong fan of psyche, I was delighted to have found this, stunned that I'd missed them for three decades and devastated by the news of Dallas' passing. Makes many of the album's lyrics even more poignant. I hear echoes of the Chocolate Watch Band, Long Ryders and both the pop and country sides of the Byrds. Stunning, and a contender for my album of the year. Iain H

Normally a concept rock album about dogs shouldn't work. It couldn't possibly work.
This one does.
Brilliant writing, beautiful music. Matt's emotion and feelings shine through on tracks like Talking to the Sky and I Wanna Be Your Dog.
I mean, it is about dogs, right? Isn't it? Or is it... rob.cee

I feel like a dork for just now (May 2021) stumbling on this alternate version of GOODBYE Blue Monday. If it's half as good as the original, it'll still be twice as good as most of the other music out there. sandymanthemusicfan
