I'll take a second of the day

to think about the things that we

have done this year
C#m B
The dog lies down, the pouring rain

I'm underneath the smoker's railway arch again
CHORUS

The future's looking colourful

It's the colour of blood, chaos and

A happy soul will

Till the rain dies down

But it doesn't mean that we will show
There's a fork upon the line

The future's looking wonderful
It's the wonder of a businessman's conspiracy to sell your wares
And no one cares
Oh you care, I know
You care, I forgot for a while
