Lime Green and Tangerine

The Wonderstuff are supporting the Levellers on tour next year. Twenty Ten years ago this would have been the stuff of dreams. However I am having serious heebeegeebees about going. And as time goes on, I realise why. My children have been playing the Cure greatest hits on repeat. The one thing holding me back from buying that ticket for the Wonderstuff is the feeling of utter discomfort that comes over me as soon as we go past track 16. The realisation that someone responsible for the genius of tracks 1-16 is also responsible for the complete shite that goes:

lime green lime green lime green and tangerine
are the sickly sweet colours of the snakes i'm seeing
lime green lime green and tangerine
are the sickly sweet colours of the devil in my dreams

lime green lime green lime green and tangerine
are the sickly sweet colours of the snakes i'm seeing
lime green lime green and tangerine
are the sickly sweet colours of the devil in my dreams
it gets to friday and i give you a call
"you know i'm getting kind of worried
no she doesn't seem herself at all...
lime green and a sickly kind of orange
i've never seen her like this before..."


and that is why I don't think I can go. What if it is all wrong
