Roland Orzabal - Humdrum And Humble Lyrics

Mistress of the mind

Take me where the air is clean

Ignorance is kind

Emerald and evergreen



30 days September, year of miracle and grief

Through the haze, Remember

You're an animal, not a mineral



And we won the war, lost the battle

Lost the war, won the battle

Won the war, lost the battle

Lost the war

All for the love of the humdrum and humble

Colour for the colourblind

All for the love of the humdrum and humble



Through the human eye

Nature a soul extreme

Nothing seems to die

Pictures in a magazine



Through the maze, precisely

Through the myriad of schemes

With your gaze, entice me

Like an animal, not a mineral



And we won the war, lost the battle

Lost the war, won the battle

Won the war, lost the battle

Lost the war

All for the love of the humdrum and humble

Colour for the colourblind

All for the love of the humdrum and humble



Through the maze, precisely

Through the myriad of schemes

With your gaze, entice me

Like an animal, not a mineral



And we won the war, lost the battle

Lost the war, won the battle

Won the war, lost the battle

Lost the war

All for the love of the humdrum and humble

Colour for the colourblind

All for the love of the humdrum and humble

Rubishing the phillistines

All for the love of the humdrum and humble
