I was looking at the black and white world
It seemed so exciting
If you d only put me back to back with that girl
When the night s inviting
With just a little lighting
There ll never be days like that again
When I was just a boy and men were men
You never go from moment to moment
You re the living double of a single fiction
You re very colourful with your compliments
As you feel the finger s friction
It s a freeze-frame
Still it s real life
You don t want to look
Cause you ve seen the film and you ve read the book
I was looking at the black and white world
Trying to name some pin-up
Those days she was just a beautiful girl
Now she s framed and hung up
I thought she was young
Up until I saw her last night in close detail
Though they all fade away when you re so pale
It s more than just a physical attraction
It starts with a face and ends up a fixation
But you re never gonna feel a fraction
Of the way it used to work on your imagination
When you were looking at the black and white world...
