lyrics
IT’S NOT THAT EASY BEING GREEN
HAVING TO SPEND EACH DAY THE COLOUR OF THE LEAVES
WHEN I THINK IT COULD BE NICER BEING RED, YELLOW OR GOLD
OR SOMETHING MUCH MORE COLOURFUL LIKE THAT
IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN
IT SEEMS YOU BLEND IN WITH SO MANY OTHER ORDINARY THINGS
AND PEOPLE TEND TO PASS YOU OVER 'COS YOU'RE
NOT STANDING OUT LIKE FLASHY SPARKLES IN THE WATER
OR STARS IN THE SKY
BUT GREEN'S THE COLOUR OF SPRING
AND GREEN CAN BE COOL AND FRIENDLY-LIKE
AND GREEN CAN BE BIG LIKE AN OCEAN
IMPORTANT LIKE A MOUNTAIN
OH, AN' TALL LIKE A TREE
WHEN GREEN IS ALL THERE IS TO BE
IT CAN MAKE YOU WONDER WHY, BUT WHY, WONDER WHY?
WONDER, WHY I'M SO GREEN
BUT IT'S WHAT I WANT TO BE
HAVING TO SPEND EACH DAY THE COLOUR OF THE LEAVES
WHEN I THINK IT COULD BE NICER BEING RED, YELLOW OR GOLD
OR SOMETHING MUCH MORE COLOURFUL LIKE THAT
IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN
IT SEEMS YOU BLEND IN WITH SO MANY OTHER ORDINARY THINGS
AND PEOPLE TEND TO PASS YOU OVER 'COS YOU'RE
NOT STANDING OUT LIKE FLASHY SPARKLES IN THE WATER
OR STARS IN THE SKY
BUT GREEN'S THE COLOUR OF SPRING
AND GREEN CAN BE COOL AND FRIENDLY-LIKE
AND GREEN CAN BE BIG LIKE AN OCEAN
IMPORTANT LIKE A MOUNTAIN
OH, AN' TALL LIKE A TREE
WHEN GREEN IS ALL THERE IS TO BE
IT CAN MAKE YOU WONDER WHY, BUT WHY, WONDER WHY?
WONDER, WHY I'M SO GREEN
BUT IT'S WHAT I WANT TO BE

Waiting For Love is my least favorite because it's a cover...The rest of the songs are perfectly written, produced and recorded! I think this is their best album of all.
