the colours game

Ok, inspired by gina_lash, who suggested the need for a new alphabeticals-style game, perhaps based around colours, here's a new 'tag' game for y'all.

Here's the rules.

* A colour is picked.
* You need to name a NEW ZEALAND song which has that colour either in the title OR in the lyrics somewhere.
* When you've named one, you continue with a new colour.
* You MUST have a song in mind when you pick a colour. There's no point picking turquoise or something else mad if the likelihood is there's no corresponding answer. righto, let's start with an easy one...

yeh. seemed pretty random.... maybe it's one of those days ....

how's your neck?

I think it was from listening to rhombus last night -- and the number of times they manage to namedrop themselves in each track -- I was kinda off on a tangent where a classic Nun band might be tempted to try the same trick.

neck's a bit better. a bit stiff -- just about back to the normal OOS level of vague achiness. cheers.
