Black And White World

I was looking at the black and white world

It seemed so exciting

If you'd only put me back to back with that girl

When the night's inviting

With just a little lighting

There'll never be days like that again

When i was just a boy and men were men

You never go from moment to moment

You're the living double of a single fiction

You're very colourful with your compliments

As you feel the finger's friction

It's a freeze-frame

Still it's real life

You don't want to look

Cause you've seen the film and you've read the book



I was looking at the black and white world

Trying to name some pin-up

Those days she was just a beautiful girl

Now she's framed and hung up

I thought she was young

Up until i saw her last night in close detail

Though they all fade away when you're so pale

It's more than just a physical attraction

It starts with a face and ends up a fixation

But you're never gonna feel a fraction

Of the way it used to work on your imagination

When you were looking at the black and white world...
