Description A general 0bservation about life - " pop stars, film stars, cars all look the same." - written and recorded in October 2004.

I heard the expression,- starved of technicolour - in a film from 1946 called , A Matter of Life and Death, where all the heaven scenes were in shot in black and white, and one of the angels remarked - "ah, one is starved of technicolour" I just thought the phrase would make a good song.

Lyrics starved of technicolour by woofer3

starved of technicolour.[written October 2004]

1 greyscale television everyday ,
life goes on and on.
pop stars,film stars,cars all look the same ,

2 you can't get away from it it's all around,
there's no place left you can hide ,
mobile telephones pollute the air each day.

chorus. and we're starved of technicolour ,
starved of light and it ain't no joke .
inside outside everywhere that you go .
everything's computerised ,everything's cool,
what are they trying to do.

3 celebrity upstarts that nobody knows,
you get more and more each day ,
thinking they're cool but I'm telling you now no way .

4 american influence is coming to town,
spreading it's oppression around,
laying down the groundrules & everyone goes along.

repeat chorus

	Very good idea for a song and things are (in my opinion) mostly still nicer in b&w...think u made a very nice uplifted feeling song here...good vox and generally a nostalgic feel here..great.

	Another Hit! Woofer you are so good. Another gem of a song from Wales. Another favorite for me.

	Nomination I nominate Woofer for MacJammer of the Year. Who else here has ever written a better chorus than the one in this song?

	Somewhat Reminiscent of... the sharp social criticism and wit of Ray Davies and The Kinks... one of my all-time favorites. Catchy... and relevant, to boot. Soon the whole world will be homogenized to the point of grand bland. Nicely done, John. ;) --- Joe

	to Tim and J.A. thank you both, I am to say the least overwhelmed by your words. Sorry I'm a bit late with my response but I've only just seen your comments. John.

	Another great and catchy song John - absolutely love the ultra catchy chorus. Lovely vocals with excellent harmonies. That film was a favourite of mine. Cheers Len

	well you know Feter all my recordings sound like old LPs - I'm not at home without all those clicks and crackles !!! well that's my excuse anyway,I guess I'm just a writer and that's all. Thank you very much for your comments. John.

	I can remember- being able to tell the difference between a Ford and an Austin and so on, well you know what I mean. I remember when all the cars back in the fifties had their own expressions, yes and I love black and white as well. Thank you Eagle. John.

	I'm pleased that you like it All inspired by a line in a film, - just like Buddy Holly's -That'll be the Day. Thank you Tim.
