Album : The colour of spring
Piste : 1
Année : 03.1986

Makes you feel much older
Sublime the blind parade
It wrecks me how they justify their acts of war
They assemble, they pray
Take good care of what the priests say
After death it's so much fun
Little sheep don't let your feet stray

Happiness is easy
Joy be written on the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love

Guilt upon their shoulders
How well the cause evades
Infecting your religions, claiming pacts
It's easy to shoulder the blame

Happiness is easy

Try to teach my children
To recognise excuse before it acts
From love and conviction to pray

Happiness is easy

  • Mark Hollis or any member of the band following comments on youtube: thank you for your genius, for your music and for enriching my life with both.

  • Remember myself as a boy of 14 going to the library getting The Colour of Spring just for that one track, Life's what you make it, unaware about what was coming...Man, what a shivering sensation i got and still get listening to those first percussion seconds of the album, the instrumentation, the athmospheric sound overwhelming completely my musical horizon...Music was never the same anymore, since then. Talk Talk stands on the lonely summit of Music...

  • @raithrover1976 Good observation raithrover - I can see what you mean

  • Once again.A beautiful song.Truly.

  • I think Massive Attack borrowed heavily from Talk Talk for the likes of Unfinished Sympathy and Teardrops.

  • COOL SONG AND WELCOME ON YOUTUBE ZIRGLE AND THE WAVES PEACE ARAB MONDIAL REVOLUTIONS PEACE  CHRISTOPHER CAPELLO

  • Hey anybody ever hear ''Love's here'' by King Britt on his album 'Adventures in Lo-Fi' (track 21).Sounds like a major tribute to this song, but I can't find any confirmation on this anywhere. Just wondering. Signed: Hollands biggest Talk Talk fan.

  • does not sound 25 years old!

  • @MysticSkall

    What is that from?

  • Jakie to jest pojebanee... zmarnowane 6 minut życie , jprdl.. •_• : /

  • Pity the atheist lost in himself

    Accumulating nothing but material wealth

    Pity the cynic too weak to care

    Lost in the labyrinth of his own inner fear

    Pity the powers that seek to control

    By gaining purchase upon your soul

    Pity the ignorant with no inner sight

    Lost in the shadows between darkness and light

  • Take good care of what the priests say!
