I was looking at the black and white world<br>
It seemed so exciting
It seemed so exciting<br>
 
If you'd only put me back to back with that girl<br>
If you'd only put me back to back with that girl
When the night's inviting<br>
 
With just a little lighting<br>
When the night's inviting
There'll never be days like that again<br>
 
When I was just a boy and men were men<br>
With just a little lighting
You never go from moment to moment<br>
 
You're the living double of a single fiction<br>
There'll never be days like that again
You're very colourful with your compliments<br>
 
As you feel the finger's friction<br>
When I was just a boy and men were men
It's a freeze-frame<br>
 
Still it's real life<br>
You never go from moment to moment
You don't want to look<br>
 
'Cause you've seen the film and you've read the book<br>
You're the living double of a single fiction
<br>
 
I was looking at the black and white world<br>
You're very colourful with your compliments
Trying to name some pin-up<br>
 
Those days she was just a beautiful girl<br>
As you feel the finger's friction
Now she's framed and hung up<br>
 
I thought she was young<br>
It's a freeze-frame
Up until I saw her last night in close detail<br>
 
Though they all fade away when you're so pale<br>
Still it's real life
It's more than just a physical attraction<br>
 
It starts with a face and ends up a fixation<br>
You don't want to look
But you're never gonna feel a fraction<br>
 
Of the way it used to work on your imagination<br>
'Cause you've seen the film and you've read the book
When you were looking at the black and white world...<br>

Black And White World

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...
