Ex Wife - In the Pink Lyrics

Somewhere between black and white
Somewhere between white and red

Turned up for training with a feeling of dread
'What are those?', the captain said
'Lord's above, you can't play with us
This is a men's water polo club '

Just give me a reason
I was top scorer last season
Please don't do this, it's something I love
I'm as good as anyone, I've paid my subs
'It's the rules: you have to have 'nads
Furthermore, you might distract the lads
Please put on your clothes
Sorry Kim, you can't come in'

I was banned, fooled and ridiculed
But I needed to swim, I needed to compete
Cutting off their noses to spite their faces
I have these urges and they must be sated

So, I turned to synchro
That's when the journey began
(Somewhere between black and white)
No longer a man
No longer adrift
(Somewhere between white and red)
I'm in the swim

In the pink - I'm medium rare
Look inside - You'll find me there

Turned up that Sunday fearing the worst
'Of course you can join us, you're one of us'
As if by accident I found my vocation
Aquatic sport-cum-entertainment
Feeling the urge, starting to glow
Caught in the swell, letting it flow
My rise is swift as I feed my gift
At the national...champion...ship

But there's more

Then one day this incredible thought came to me
I'm living the life of a masculine fantasy

In the pink - I'm medium rare
Look inside - You'll find me there

All in pink, all in pink
She made me stop and think

Take control and dive right in
Stay in the centre, back from the wing
I'm in the zone, I'm in the pink

I'm in the pink - I'm medium rare
Look inside - You'll find me there

I'm all in pink, all in pink
Brought myself back from the brink

Out of the sink
Into the swim
Take control
Dive right in
Stay in the centre
Back from the rim
I'm in control
I'm in the pink

I'm in the pink
