The Colour and the Shape Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're a real short ride, wow right
They're the big stuff anyway, that's right
You're a teacher's pet, wow right
Still a bleach one anyway, that's right
Wow right
[Chorus]
Colour and the shape
Colour and the shape
[Verse 2]
No sweat yeah, wow right
You're a retard anyway, that's right
Stand to beat your hands away, wow right
Said a river boy runaway, that's right
Wow right
[Chorus]
Colour and the shape
Colour and the shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape, shape, hey
You're a real short ride, wow right
They're the big stuff anyway, that's right
You're a teacher's pet, wow right
Still a bleach one anyway, that's right
Wow right
[Chorus]
Colour and the shape
Colour and the shape
[Verse 2]
No sweat yeah, wow right
You're a retard anyway, that's right
Stand to beat your hands away, wow right
Said a river boy runaway, that's right
Wow right
[Chorus]
Colour and the shape
Colour and the shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape, shape, hey
[Verse 3]
You're a retard anyway, that's right
Stand to beat your hands away, wow right
Said a river boy runaway, that's right
Wow right
[Chorus]
Colour and the shape
Colour and the shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape
You're a retard anyway, that's right
Stand to beat your hands away, wow right
Said a river boy runaway, that's right
Wow right
[Chorus]
Colour and the shape
Colour and the shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape
About
Genius Annotation
Amusingly, despite naming the Foo Fighters' second album, this song was not included in it, only appearing in special editions.
“There is a song called ‘The Colour And The Shape’ we were going to put on the record. It was almost like another ‘Weenie Beenie’ sort of song, just another screaming, fast, hardcore song, but we decided not to put it on, because it was a step backwards, we’ve done that already!”
