Make It Mauve Lyrics by Shriekback

Life in the Loading Bay

2010

When the waves are rising and the thunder roars
When all us little fish are flapping on the shore
When you got bad credit, feeling like a freak
When you are so demented that you cannot speak
Everybody bite the tadpole, everybody grip the pole
Let's just surrender to this splendor in our droves
Everybody light a candle to the life below the stones
Come join the gang, bring around the van
Let's make it mauve, don't make a fuss
Get on the bus and make it mauve
So you gotta get drastic, gotta make a plan
(As everyone would, if they could, but no one can)
Get your ass stochastic in the falling snow
You'll be the wizard in the blizzard when you go
Everybody micromanage, everybody seed the clouds
They never ate half of the fishes and the loaves
Everyone above the tree line for the stimulation hour
Let's get deranged till things have changed
Let's make it mauve, yeah, it's the law
Get on the floor and make it mauve
You know all that profit and loss
Won't be the thing that you remember in your last gasp
A purple mist's descending which I know is gonna be a gas
That'll be our history written on the air
And if we made it all up then really who would care?
Now we're aniline purple with a febrile glow
And I just think that it's the only way to go
Everybody grab a handful, everybody hit the road
Everything's cake, we make it on this stove
Everybody overjoyed to make this lurid shit their own
We're not to blame, you'd have done the same
We made it mauve, so as they say
A brand new day and make it mauve
Gotta make a crust though, it's a must to make it mauve
