lyrics

Imagine if the sky was green
If Romulus lost the fight then we’d call Rome Reem
Imagine if the grass was blue
And if you still loved me then I’d still be with you

Or maybe you never loved me
And maybe I’ll die before I know what love means
And one day the Earth will swelter
But maybe before it does, things will get better

I woke up feeling sad again today
Feels like all nuance went away, I don’t know what to do
I want to see things like I did
before the colour strike
Before the black and white

Imagine if the sea was blue
And if I could swim away then that’s what I’d do

It was so vibrant
Now it’s all black and white
ITV colour strike
I miss the old days
Before the grey arrived
We had the bluest sky

November 1970
Technicians at ITV
In a dispute over pay
Took red, green and blue away

That’s how I feel now
I’m on a TV show
That’s all in monochrome
It was so vibrant
Now it’s all black and white
ITV colour strike
