Finally, proper lyrics to this song. Can anyone tell me what he is referring to when he says color box? Most lyrics sites quote the lyrics as "blouse," which is incorrect. Thank you.

@IMTN Makeup stuff for women.

@IMTN Yes, I like "colour box" very much - it is her box of watercolour paints, sketch-pad and brushes, another symbol of her leisured, high-status way of life.

Best,

@Babbonius Your explanation makes sense for colour box (proper spelling noted). Thank you!

Peace,
