about

This song is about being 17 and finding somebody attractive.

It is the first demo towards a proposed album.

All donation will go - apart from Bandcamp's cut - towards completing the record.

If you can't donate, that's fine, but if you like any song, do pass it on, share on social media and get your circle to drop by. If you know any Furniture fans, prod them awake and tell them I called.

Please leave your email address, so that I can inform you when things are happening.

Thank you for reading.

lyrics

A LITTLE GREEN, A LITTLE BLUE

I was still a rumour if
You know what I mean
I ran into you
A little blue
A little green
Life was still a mystery
But that kiss was a clue
I was seventeen
A little green
A little blue

You didn’t care for happiness
It seemed too routine
Sadness spoke to you
A little blue
A little green
I was full of emptiness
And somehow you knew
I watched you steal the scene
A like green,
a little blue

Sunlight
Was hurting my eyes
Summer was all shade, one long parade of goodbyes
Til you said hello
And then I knew what to do
You wore it like a dream
A little green
a little blue

Moonlight
Was caught in your hair
Our lives became entangled but we didn’t care
I stared into your eyes
And I saw something new
Like everything they’d seen
A little green
a little blue
