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 battle    Lost the war, won the battle    Won the war, lost the battle    Lost the war    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 battle    Lost the war, won the battle    Won the war, lost the battle    Lost the war    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 battle    Lost the war, won the battle    Won the war, lost the battle    Lost the war    All for the love of the humdrum and humble    Colour for the colourblind    All for the love of the humdrum and humble    Rubishing the phillistines    All for the love of the humdrum and humble
