Purple Cape – Doug Allen

I tried to make a purple cape, hot glue and Velcro tape
I never learned to sew and I never could afford
to shop for clothes at the vampire store - downtown


A purple cape will get you far, a super hero or a super star
A purple cape with make you stand up straight, and you’ll look better playing guitar


I almost wore my purple cape, that could be a big mistake
Flashy personal accessories often indicate
a narcissistic tendency for insecure people not like me


A purple cape will get you far, a super hero or a super star
A purple cape with make you stand up straight, and you’ll look better playing guitar


I finally wore my purple cape, I wore I out on a date
A purple cape can turn a perfectly ordinary date
into an embarrassing scene, but my baby likes it anyway


A purple cape will get you far, a super hero or a super star
A purple cape will let you stay up late, you’ll look better playing guitar


Oh, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Mick Jagger, David Bowie
Mighty Mouse and Elvis too - my favorite Count Dracula

Big Timber is my second recording, reflecting what life has been like for me in the northwest corner of Washington state. It was long in coming but I'm proud of it and The Union Wage. Please listen to some of the tracks - I hope you like it.
