Colours
Calvin Harris_ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Uh, uh, ah

Now I don't care what you dress like or what you wear
But please make sure baby, you've got some colors in there
Now it's all very well stepping out in black and white
But you're no girlfriend of mine if you're doing that right
Now I don't care what you dress like or what you wear
But please make sure, baby, you've got some colors in there
Now it's all very well stepping out in black and white
But you're no girlfriend of mine if you're doing that right

Get some colors on
Get some colors on

Now I don't care what you dress like or what you wear
But please make sure, baby, you've got some colors in there
Now it's all very well stepping out in black and white
But you're no girlfriend of mine if you're doing that right

Get some colors on
Get some colors on
Get some colors on
Get some colors on





Yeah
Uh, uh, ah

he used 8-bit presets on his amiga 1200 computer... omg... much better than what i do with my pc today

i-par

Hehe, you called samples presets. ;-) But you are right in a way since they we're seldom altered. Although, myself and probably Calvin was using their own samples. Although ST-01 would be where everyone started.
