Grey Suit

from No More Chasing by Abi Moore

/

about

A sand-blasted slice of desert-rock. An ode to an industry executive’s demands on Abi to tick boxes and turn her art into profitable business, there’s some wonderful metaphoric imagery. Lines like “get your grey suit out of my rainbow / get your sales talk out of my poetry” are sung with a quietly scathing control until she lets loose in the chorus, announcing “I didn’t come here for the money” in what could be a Fleetwood Mac vs Queens of the Stone Age collaboration, with lots of slide guitar deliciousness.

lyrics

Get your grey suit outta my rainbow
Get your colourlessness outta my eyesight
Get your briefcase off’a my table
You cast no shadow when you suck up all my light

Get your sales talk outta my poetry
I don’t owe you, and you don’t know me

Won’t you loosen up your tie?
Your little voice seems stuck inside
Get your grey suit outta my rainbow

Chorus
I didn’t come here for the money
I didn’t come here for the fame
I didn’t come here to make everybody remember my first name

Some of us are not here for the glory
We don’t need to wear the crown
Some of us will write a different story and we won’t back down

Remember when I wasn’t hot enough property?
And now you come around and crash my party

But the flames got so much higher
For you to piss on my bonfire
Get your grey suit outta my rainbow

Chorus
I didn’t come here for the money
I didn’t come here for the fame
I didn’t come here to make everybody remember my first name

Some of us are not here for the glory
We don’t need to wear the crown
Some of us will write a different story and we won’t back down

Now I hold the cards, I will put them on the table
Get your grey suit outta my rainbow

Abi Moore UK

Americana / Roots-Rock artist from Nottingham. Abi's 4th studio album No More Chasing marks a raucous return after 10 years.

"Impactful, gritty, & above all, brimming with conviction. Abi's stripped back, stomp 'n' holler sound instantly took us to KT Tunstall, while her rootsy, distorted Americana guitar twangs have a delicious White Stripes flavour." RCM
