I see red, I see red, I see red.
How could someone wicked walk around free
I see red, I see red, I see red.
I see red, I see red (red!), I see red.
You gave me such precious hours
What to do without you.
Squeezed me out of your life
Down the drain like molten toothpaste
I feel used and spat out.
Poor old me
My despair is dying,
Turning into rage, day by day
Green before you met me
In the pink when you let me love you
I was blue when you let me down
Black and Blue
Go!
definitely one of nzs finest bands, ripping song about first love lost, being used & abused by an older or just more experienced lady
The ultimate Punk Rock to ever come out of this country! The lyrics seem to be about being broken hearted by a sexy but evil woman. You can feel the frustration in the lyrics and in the tempo! Love that Piano solo - so, new wave! GO KIWI ROCK!
This song is fucking good, only if New Zealand had more bands like Split Enz.
I love the way the similes and metaphors are carried on and on; the toothpaste in the first verse and the colours in the second.
My school house colour was red, so we used to sing this song (usually just the chorus) a lot during house competitions.
I think this song is about Tim's feelings for Greta Scachi, the actress. His relationship with her also led to the song "I hope I never". In both of these songs Tim Finn nails the feelings of hurt and anguish and being used that can happen to someone whose most important relationship has crashed to earth. a very sensitive, deeply feeling songwriter.
