Who sang 'Colour It Blue'?

[Leinstergirl13]

Help! I've been trying for years to find out who sang a song I loved in the mid 80's. Thought for ages it might have been the Europeans or just maybe Psychadelic Furs but it wasn't. I think it was called Colour It Blue, but that might be just cos that's the main theme of the lyrics.
Lyrics go something like 'There's so much here, to remind me of you, the memory of love, colour it blue' and then somewhere later 'colour it me, colour it you, colour it blue'

If anyone knows the song I'd be really grateful and can give up that nagging, annoying feeling of not remembering the band. Thanks

A couple of songs that spring to mind are Cabaret Voltaire 'Blue Heat' or Fine Young Cannibals 'Blue' but the lyrics don't match?

The only one I could find that had similar lyrics was this:


Reba McEntire 'Indelibly Blue'


Lost in the city
Deserted and cold
Watching the cars passing by
There all going places
That we used to go
And it's driving me out of my mind

And it's making me blue
Indelibly blue
I can't erase the memories of me and you
Indelibly blue

They say when one love is ended
Another is born
That's no consolation to me
Just show me some sunlight
A rose without thorns
And maybe I'll start to believe

And it's making me blue
Indelibly blue
I can't erase the memories of me and you
Indelibly blue
Well just color me blue

Oh all my life
I've waited for one love to make it alright
But now I feel heartaches and tears
Of a sad souvenirs that you left me
Since you left me
I'll just go on a day at a time
Trying in vain to forget you
But time and again you enter my mind
Someday I swear I won't let you

And it's making me blue
Indelibly blue
I can't erase the memories of me and you
Indelibly blue
Cause baby I'm blue

And it's making me blue
Indelibly blue
I can't erase the memories of me and you
Indelibly blue
So just color me blue

Aahh thank you for looking, wasn't Reba M though. Sounds like a lovely song so I'll check that one out too.

Thank you, I love FYC. I can hear the song in my head and vocals sound like Psychadelic Furs vocals. I'll keep searching methinks but am really grateful for your help.

The first song that came to mind was 'Love Is A Wonderful Colour' by the Icicle Works, but the lyrics don't fit!

The one "Blue" song that I can think of is "Johnny Blue" by Lithuanian-born German singer Lena Valaitis.
