about

“The Shit is Going Down” is the 8th addition to the Vanilla Sideshow collection.

There has been enough political and social entropy over the last few years to inspire a million dark thoughts, and a few dark songs as well. This is one of them.

The “Sideshow” album will grow from one song to many over the next year as a digital-only album, and when it’s complete it will be released on CD or as an LP.

lyrics

Bottle of bourbon, bottle of beer
Bottle up all of your hopes and your fears
‘Cause today
The shit is going down

Throttle the engines, slip into gear
Wobble the distance from there to here
‘Cause today
The shit is going down

Coddle the killers, swaddle the young
Adjust all your filters, ‘cause the party’s begun
And today
The shit is going is down

So we choke upon the words
Turning treasures into turds

Trouble your maker, shed all your tears
Here is the sum of your hopes and your fears
‘Cause today the shit is going down

Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here. Jacqui L
