Forbidden Colours was written as part of the score for the movie Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, that featured David Bowie and Takeshi Kitano. The movie deals with the repression and ambiguity linked to homosexual love in a war environment, and this song explores the same topic in a more subtle way.

Forbidden Colours Lyrics
[Intro]
The wounds on your hands never seem to heal
I thought all I needed was to believe
[Verse 1]
Here am I, a lifetime away from you
The blood of Christ, or the beat of my heart
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
[Bridge]
Senseless years thunder by
Millions are willing to give their lives for you
Does nothing live on?
[Verse 2]
Learning to cope with feelings aroused in me
My hands in the soil, buried inside of myself
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again
[Verse 3]
I'll go walking in circles while doubting the very ground beneath me
Trying to show unquestioning faith in everything
Here am I, a lifetime away from you
The blood of Christ, or a change of heart
[Outro]
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again
