Verve Pipe, The - Colorful Lyrics






The show is over - close the storybook
there will be no encore
and all the random hands that i have shook
well, they're reaching for the door
i watch the backs as they leave single-file
you stood stubborn, cheering all the while

i know i can be colorful
i know i can be grey
i know this loser's living fortunate
cause i know you will love me either way

most were being good for goodness sake
but you wouldn't pantomine
you are more beautiful when you awake
than most are in a lifetime
through the haze that is my memory
you stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy

i know i can be colorful
i know i can be grey
i know this loser's living fortunate
cause i know you will love me either way

look ahead as far as you can see
we live in drama but we'll die in a comedy

i know i can be colorful (when you live in black and white)
i know i can be grey (my colors fade away)
i know this loser's living fortunate
cause i know you will love me either way

i know i can be colorful (when you live in black and white)
i know i can be grey (my colors fade away)
i know this loser's living fortunate
and i know you will love me
yes i know you will love me
i know you will love me either way

  71. T.... B....

    I know you posted this almost six years ago but I just had to comment. You did an incredible editing job on this song. The images went right with the beat and were absolutely beautiful. I really liked the way it went from colorful images to "love" to the unbelievable ending from the movie. I know this sounds dumb, but I was moved by it all. Thank you very much.

  72. C.... P....

    Nice visuals

  73. J.... V....

    I vow to always show you...just how colorful we can be! You have me! Body, Mind and Soul! XOXOXOXO

    I really like this song, I listened thanks to rockstar! And I love all about that movie, it made me know awesome music, like this song!

  79. P.... K....

    goosebumps

  80. F.... C....

    HBK!!!!!

  81. T.... ....

    +Stephen Price  You really deserve a lot more than 179 (now) subs for making this video.

    T.... ....

    To be fair... its a song he did not write (or perform) and all the imagery was taken from the net. You can see water marks on them. Soooo not a whole lot of work done on his part. Few minutes in an editing program like Premiere Pro...

    T.... ....

    @M's Toyland You're making some good points, but I don't know how to do it, I never heard of that program before.  I'm 54 years old and don't have a cell phone.  I have a computer and internet access but I bought a Tandy TR-80 back in like 1983 from Radio Shack.  This is what I have now with internet access.  I make a video, it's just me playing the guitar or piano or talking about how I make soap, and I got 432 subs, I used to have a thousand spread out among 5 or 6 accounts, like a Piano Club.  You can sub 5000 times.  This one was well worth it.

    T.... ....

    I know exactly what +M's Toyland is talking about and it's still an excellent video as far as picture-to-videos go. Excellent imagery and timing. It's still a lot of work to put create something this beautiful. It takes time to find enough images for the video. I know -- I've made a ton of 'em.

    T.... ....

    M's Toyland
    "To be fair ...."
    WOW!
    I mean WHAT IS IT with people whom JUST FIND IT SO INTOLERABLE that they JUST HAVE TO invest their energy in negating the SIMPLE, KIND, GRACIOUS ACT of a human being validating another human being?

    I mean FOR REAL?
    ** Shaking my head **

    Welp, its OBVIOUS the difference in personality, character and UNDOUBTED SPIRIT btwn urself and the individual for whom you just HAD to negate 😏. Further exposed & made clear in her gracious response to urs. LOL

    Cuz wanna know what I (& likely many others) thought when reading ur UNNECESSARY kill joy comment left in the aftermath of a genuinely beautiful, introspective song? #1: ur among the insightless, Debbie Downer, mood-dampening kind #2: nobody asked for ur uppity comment #3: then, after catching myself & how YOUR negativity is infectious .... & having to re-center, I felt great empathy for you. How VERY SAD the comment you left was the best thing you came up with after hearing such a moving song. Dunno what or whom broke you .... but honestly, I pray for you & those like you to FIND the Light that exists within yourself AND WORK ON SENDING OUT THAT LIGHT rather than dulling the Light of others.
    And in the event you can't see the err of ur comment? Welp, there it is: Some flowers bloom dead ... just sayin .... pffft

    i love the verve pipe

  83. R.... M....

    I am thankful to Rockstar for blessing me with The Verve Pipe and Steel Heart

    R.... M....

    Me three! I had never heard of the band The Verve Pipe. And, now I love listening to them. Why aren't they more recognized in the music industry? Such a talented awesome band!

    R.... M....

    I have to thank Mark Whalberg for incarnated the true essence ot that era wich i live through... and to this beautiful song,

    R.... M....

    I have met the whole band being from the home state nothing but a great bunch of guys. No rock star attitude with this band..

    R.... M....

    Me four

  84. L.... M....

    I am going to cry. Good Song. HBK HBK HBK HBK............ :(

  85. T.... H....

    Oh this truly brings tears to my eyes...my favorite band....

  86. T.... ....

    RIP Joanie Laura Chyna

  87. C.... W....

    Great band from my home state. This is one of their best songs imo; very heartfelt.

    C.... W....

    My home state is California.  Lots of rock bands from here.  I saw a Beach Boys concert with all the original members.  I don't know where The Grateful Dead are from but when I was a youngster in the 70's my stepbrother Joey took me to see them in concert.  They had two drummers, two complete drum sets, unforgettable.  I love Ted Nugent, Uncle Ted, and have been to a couple of his concerts, and even saw The Scorpions open for him and in my opinion outperformed Uncle Ted and stole the show, a real tribute to Uncle Ted to put them on before him.  Ted Nugent is an awesome dude.

  88. s.... ....

    This is wonderfully, beautifully done Stephen!!! Thanks...

  89. k.... ....

    also first heard this on rockstar but i listen to this more than i watch the movie. in my opinion the best thing to come out of this movie was me experiencing this song.

    Everyone has a hard life and mine turned me into a person i wasn't proud of but my wife pulled me out of it. showed me i was better than i defined myself to be. for a long while i was the loser who wondered why the hell this woman loved me so much also knowing she will always love me.

    Most men keep these feelings within. They may love their wives but are embaressed to admit it to their friends etc. I never had this problem. Out of seven billion-ish people i have found the one person who goes above and beyond to ensure my happiness and i'll make damn sure to return the favor for the rest of our lives.

    k.... ....

    Beautifully expressed. Your wife is as lucky as you are.

    k.... ....

    Well said. Hats off to you both.

    k.... ....

    u found the one... not like most od us 😥

  90. K.... F....

    "I know I can be colorful, and I know I can be gray. But I know this loser's living fortunate, 'cause I know you will love me either way."

    A.... ....

    go fuck yourself

    A.... ....

    thebatman101069 I’ve listened to this song since the rockstar movie came out. I never noticed that single part. Thank you.

    A.... ....

    If only they didn't feel the need to do that half step up near the end of the song...dammit. I HATE that stuff.

  95. R.... A....

    One of my favorite songs and a fitting tribute Stephen. Kudos!

  96. D.... ....

    That was cool
