Remarks:
This is my favourite Rolling Stones song. It came out in 1967, going to #25 on the US pop chart. I like their Official Lyric Video, but I like the 2020 Photoshop ad (shown above) even more. I like the Keith Haring shout-out at 0:40 (the cartoon dogs right after the part with the octopus), but even more I like it as the closest representation I have seen to date of what it is like to ride the subway. At least for me. From the way she leans on the pole, to how her head (nay, the whole subway train) is in the clouds, to the way it is headed to a distant Emerald City (I used to take the subway every day from Queens to Midtown Manhattan.)

Lyrics:
{Instrumental Hook}
[Chorus]
She comes in colours everywhere;
She combs her hair
She’s like a rainbow
Coming colours in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colours
[Chorus]
She comes in colours everywhere;
She combs her hair
She’s like a rainbow
Coming colours in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colours
{Instrumental}
[Verse 1]
Have you seen her dressed in blue
See the sky in front of you
And her face is like a sail
Speck of white so fair and pale
Have you seen a lady fairer
[Chorus]
She comes in colours everywhere;
She combs her hair
She’s like a rainbow
Coming colours in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colours
[Verse 2]
Have you seen her all in gold
Like a queen in days of old
She shoots colours all around
Like a sunset going down
Have you seen a lady fairer
[Chorus]
She comes in colours everywhere;
She combs her hair
She’s like a rainbow
Coming colours in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colours
{Instrumental}
[Outro]
She’s like a rainbow
Coming colours in the air
Oh, everywhere
She comes in colours
