Story Behind The Song
Started with a repetitive catchy riff I just couldn't get rid of. Months later I was in the grocery store looking at the colors in the detergent aisle and was amazed, thought "All The Pretty Colors" and went back to write a song around it.

Lyrics
Down the aisles - in comic stores
All those styles - in all those drawers
Darks & lights - in all those hues
All those fights - in reds & blues
(chorus)
I wanna buy all those pretty colors
Wrap em up, pack em, take 'em home with me
I wanna buy all those pretty colors
I gotta own everything I see
After school - it all begins
Find what's cool - in bargain bins
Gotta buy - some more of these
Don't deny - it's my disease
(chorus)
(bridge)
From artist to gay men
From hipsters to laymen
To Madison Avenue
From kids to the rich
From what's in to kitsch
To eventually me - and you
Grocery store - on all the stands
So much more - than twenty brands
I'm confused - from what I see
Gonna choose - what I saw on TV
(chorus)
