Humdrum and Humble lyrics

Mistress of the mind

Take me where the air is clean

Ignorance is kind

Emerald and evergreen

30 days September

Year of miracle and grief

Through the haze, remember

You're an animal, not a mineral

And we won the war, lost the war

Lost the battle, won the battle

Won the war, lost the war

Lost the battle

All for the love of the humdrum and humble

Colour for the colourblind

All for the love of the humdrum and humble

Through the human eye

Nature a soul extreme

Nothing seems to die

Pictures in a magazine

Through the maze, precisely

Through the myriad of schemes

With your gaze, entice me

Like an animal, not a mineral

And we won the war, lost the war

Lost the battle, won the battle

Won the war, lost the war

Lost the battle

All for the love of the humdrum and humble

Colour for the colourblind

All for the love of the humdrum and humble

Through the maze, precisely

Through the myriad of schemes

With your gaze, entice me

Like an animal, not a mineral

And we won the war, lost the war

Lost the battle, won the battle

Won the war, lost the war

Lost the battle

All for the love of the humdrum and humble

Colour for the colourblind

All for the love of the humdrum and humble

Rubbishing the philistines

All for the love of the humdrum and humble
