I was having fun fun thinking about at the way that older people tend to wear grey and beige and had the idea that Littlewoods, BHS and Greenwoods were pushers getting the older generation hooked on those colours - so here it is, another case of thinking too much:
Unscrupulous
dealers skulking
Behind pseudo
respectable facades
Littlewoods,
Greenwoods, BHS
Pushing the beige
and the greys
When you walk a
little slowly
See a little less
clearly
Hear a little
more quietly
They’re on to you
Chasing the grey
dragon
Advertising, peer
pressure
They’ll do you a
special deal
An offer you
can’t refuse
Half price on
pension day
Vouchers at the
bingo
You think you’re
in control
With defiant
splash of colour
You think you’re one
of us
Once bitten
you’re hooked
You’re one of
them now
Insidious beige
and greys
You’ll blend in,
fade away
Another lost
generation
Colourless,
powerless
Gone
And the dealers
move on
Regroup and adapt
To younger
victims
A beige hoody in
Topshop
Grey Kickers in
JJB
Don’t give up
Fight for your
brights
Resist the bland
Dump the dealers
Don’t be
colourless
Powerless
Done
