A punchy, stream-of-consciousness track about what it’s like to be a woman in society today and the subtle and not-so-subtle pressures and expectations that build up over time.

lyrics

There is a woman wearing purple
the colour of wisteria
There is a woman wearing purple
the colour of hysteria

You wanted me to look pretty
Now I’m looking pretty
You’re gonna overlook me
You wanted me to look pretty
I said no
Now you’re gonna overlook me

You don’t take me seriously
You don’t take me seriously
I’m getting seriously fed up
Fed up! Fed up! Fed up - Oh!

Youuuuu think that I’m a mystery
That’s just lazy
Youuuuu say you don’t understand
It’s not that hard man
Youuuuu don’t see the real me
I’m not hiding
Youuuuu want me to be everything and nothing at the very same time well

Do you mean that seriously
You can’t mean that seriously
If you mean that seriously
Back off, back off, back off, back off oh!

We are tired of your bullshit
We are sick of silver medals
We are tired, we’ve lost patience
With your arbitrary levels

And I mean that seriously
And we mean that seriously
And you better seriously
Rethink rework relearn respect oh!
Rethink rework relearn respect oh!

You have so far so far to go
And I mean that seriously
And we mean that seriously
And you better seriously
Rethink rework relearn respect oh!
You have so far so far to go

There is a woman wearing purple
the colour of wisteria
