Biografía:
The Icicle Works son una banda de rock alternativo. Nombrado en honor a la historia de los 60's "The Day the Icicle Works Closed" del autor de ciencia ficción Frederik Pohl, The Icicle Works se unieron a la ola de la 'neo-psychedelia' de Liverpool's a principios de los 80's, la cual también impulsó a Echo & the Bunnymen y a The Teardrop Explodes. Son mejor conocidos en su tierra natal por su único hit del top 40 del Reino Unido "Love Is A Wonderful Colour" (1983).

¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Thought this needed putting up, one of the best songs of all time.
There's a middle eight/lead break which I haven't worked out, but there's enough
here to strum and sing to.
Verse is just the E chord, live Mr McNabb plays the little melody riff over the bass.
E
My friend and I, were talking one evening,
Beside some burning wood,
Trading tales of places we came upon,
When the times were good,
E
Spoke of a girl he viewed like no other,
Whom he had come to know, I swallowed hard and listened intently,
Resigned beside the glow
C
Always there, it's standing proudly,
Am
When all else falls down,
C
It's all around you, didn't it find you,
Am
When you said you couldn't be found,
E F#m
When love calls me, I will be running swiftly,
B G#m C#m
To find out, just what all the fuss is all about,
E F#m
Unrelentless, deep in the strangest feelings,
Believe me,
B G#m C#m
Love is full of wonderful colours
I insist that you pick the wrong one,
To preach your theories to,
Simmer down, we'll run for a reason,
To see what faith can do,
Love is a beacon, on the horizon,
Watch when you touch down,
Reality finds you fumbling for reasons,
When the chance comes 'round
When love calls me, I will be running swiftly,
To find out, just what all the fuss is all about,
Unrelentless, deep in the strangest feelings,
Believe me,
Love is full of wonderful colour
E
Take my confidence to guide you,
F#m
Through the fallen hope inside you,
B G#m C#m
Love is full of wonderful colour
Take my confidence to guide you,
Through the fallen hope inside you,
Love is full of wonderful colour
