There are two versions of Colours:

Lyrics
This song cycles different combinations of these four lines of lyrics over repeated stanzas of music.
In each musical stanza, each line of lyrics may or may not be sung, but, for a particular line, when it is sung,
it is in that same point in the stanza.
Line 1: You reap what you sow
Line 2: Put your face to the ground
Line 3: Here come the marching men
Line 4: Your colours wrapped around
