3:45 pop rock song. I Ain't HI Vis.
"Hi Vis" are the orange and yellow clothes people working outdoors or in building sites wear, so they can be seen. Dave Graney is known for flash clothes - indeed , in this song he sings "I ain't got no tools - just flash clothes". But Dave Graney and Clare Moore ain't Hi Vis. "They're underworld". They don't really want to be but that's where they are.

This song was the tenth digital release for Graney and Moore in 2016. A groover amongst a lot of groovers. Groover supreme?

I ain't hi vis
kinda FIFO though'old school FIFO
FE FI FO fum

I ain't in plastic yellow
I ain't in danger
not standin' on a stage like this

I'm in the scrollin' teens
rough seas
nothin' changes though
people come and go

I ain't Hi Vis
I don't need it
the attention
I ain't got no tools
just flash clothes

cream buns at eleven
be alright I s'pose
I ain't got no tools
just flash clothes

I ain't Hi Vis
I'm underworld
I ain't got no tools
just flash clothes
