[Verse 1]
You're a real short ride, wow right
They're the big stuff anyway, that's right
You're a teachers pet, wow right
Still a bleach one anyway, that's right

Wow right

[Chorus]
Colour and the shape
Colour and the shape

[Verse 2]
No sweat yeah, wow right
You're a retard anyway, that's right
Stand to beat your hands away, wow right
Said a river boy runaway, that's right

[Chorus]
Colour and the shape
Colour and the shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape, shape, hey

[Verse 3]
You're a retard anyway, that's right
Stand to beat your hands away, wow right
Said a river boy run away, that's right

[Chorus]
Colour and the shape
Colour and the shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape, shape, shape
Shape, shape

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
