MusicEnglish: Nothing compares to you by Sinead O'Connor - colour idioms
Submitted by RichGresswell on 31 July, 2012 - 15:42
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Since you left me I can do anything I want to, I can see anybody I want to. I can eat my dinner in an expensive restaurant if I want to. But I feel so sad, nothing can take away these blues because there is nobody better than you.
If somebody has the blues or is feeling blue it means they are feeling sad or depressed. There are many idioms in English based on different colours. What colour idioms do you know in English?

Enjoy the music
