Oranges Are Ruined | THE MANY-COLOURED MAN

[INTRO] That's yours. No, the light. The lamp was neutral Until last night. [VERSE 1] Your left shoe in the hallway. The right one won't explain. Wet socks over the radiator. Now the whole room likes the rain. You hated that blue mug. I kept it by the sink. No relation. Different cupboard. No, don't tell me what you think. Your coffee cooling by the window. Two turns. A very small clink. Now Tuesday has your coffee in it. That's too much person for a drink. [REFRAIN] Oranges are ruined. The fruit bowl's picked a side. That used to be a bit of breakfast. Now it's where your laugh can hide. [CHORUS] Now oranges are you. The bowl is full of little tricks. Stupid fruit. Terrible system. I bought six. Don't fix it. Leave the bowl that way. I like them ruined. Eat another. Stay all day. [VERSE 2] Your thumb went under the orange. The peel came off in one. You passed me half without a question. That was it. The damage done. You laughed with your mouth still busy. There was juice against your wrist. Orange. Mouth. The room. My whole day. None of them were on the list. You moved your coat. Just once. On Monday. The hook still thinks you've changed the rules. Your fork leans left. Now left is lovely. You've been interfering with the tools. [CHORUS] Now oranges are you. The bowl is full of little tricks. Stupid fruit. Terrible system. I bought six. Don't fix it. Leave the bowl that way. I like them ruined. Eat another. Stay all day. [INTERLUDE] [BRIDGE] That lamp has got the wrong idea. It thinks it's why the room feels warm. I love you. There. Leave that where it is. Don't put it in a better form. [FINAL CHORUS] Now oranges are you. The bowl is full of little tricks. Stupid fruit. Terrible system. I bought six. Don't fix it. Leave the bowl that way. I like them ruined. Eat another. Stay all day. [OUTRO] Don't fix it. Stay for tea. The bowl looks better empty If you're sitting here with me.
