I made the same mistake. The HELL do *any* of the lyrics of that song mean? Perhaps its some British idiom that I never heard of about...getting kissed by inanimate objects that are growing on color mixtures of black and white pigment? Even when you try to analyze it it defies description.

The only part of the song I got was the part right before the chorus. Everything else was sung earnestly but in a mealymouth fashion. And you know what? No one was the wiser.
