The Zombies disbanded. In the early 70's, Blunstone re-emerged as a solo act, and scored several major hits. The music featured rhythm guitar now and ranged from string arranged melodies, to rock, to American folk. The Zombies were never far away; for instance, "Andorra", written by co-Zombies Rod Argent and White, is a remake of "Time of the Season".
"One Year" was his first solo album.
In the late 70's Colin lent his voice to The Alan Parsons Project, a logical progression from his solo work, as can be heard in a song such as "Old and Wise".
Colin is currently touring and recording again with Rod Argent, another founder member of the Zombies, performing both new material and hits from their joint and solo careers.
Weak for You
Colin Blunstone Lyrics

Wingfield
We've been just good friends far too long
And it all seems wrong somehow
Come out and make the move, the coast is clear
The time to try is now.
I've been watching you, oh.
Seems if we met about a month ago
There'd be no front to crack
But as it is, neither of us know
How to peel the pages back.
Can we do it now ? Will you do it for me ?
Can't hardly speak for you (I feel myself falling)
My winning streak is you (don't you hear me calling ?)
I'm weak for you and all that's missing is your heart
Your heart, your heart, your heart.
Counted all the cards we've both laid out
But there's only fifty-one
Keep the joker, I don't mind
But let me have the fun.
I've been watching you
I've been watching you.
I've reached a peak for you (I feel myself falling)
I'm a freak for you (don't you hear me calling ?)
I'm weak for you and all that's missing is your heart
Your heart, your heart, your heart.
You don't see the forest for the trees
I may be standing tough
But now I'm on, on my knees.
There's a mystique to you (I feel myself falling)
It may sound Greek to you (don't you hear me calling ?)
But I'm weak for you and all that's missing is your love
Your love, your love, your love
Your love, your love, your love.
All I wanted was your love
All I wanted was your love.
Give me your love
Give me your love.
In "Weak for You," Colin Blunstone sings about being close friends with someone for too long and wishing to take their relationship to the next level, but not knowing how to do it. The lyrics indicate that the singer has been attracted to their friend for a while and has been watching them. They suggest that if they had met each other more recently, there would be less complication to their relationship.
The song expresses a feeling of weakness, where the singer is overcome by their feelings for their friend. They want to put everything on the line and confess their love, but they are unsure of the other person's feelings. They try to convince them to take the next step in their relationship and give them a chance to show their love. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I'm weak for you and all that's missing is your heart," expressing the desire to have a relationship with the person they admire.
Overall, "Weak for You" is a poignant song that captures the feeling of falling in love with someone who is unaware of our feelings. It speaks to the complexity of relationships and the difficulty in conveying our emotions at times.
