Upchuck

VOLUME III — being SICK, the small-hours reckoning at the porcelain. The idiom and the song's title hook: "Upchuck". Its true history: US, 1936 — plain 'up' + 'chuck' (to throw); bright and blunt. Render this beat of the night as the band's affectionate, funny, celebratory tribute — the idiom itself is the chorus hook.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Ahhh!

[Verse 1]
It’s four in the morning, the tile is freezing
The grandest finale that you are achieving
Your stomach is turning, a bright carousel
The delicate systems decide to rebel!

[Chorus]
So give it an upchuck! (Upchuck!)
A wonderful toss!
Born in 1936, a beautiful exhaust!
It’s just 'up' for the sky and 'chuck' for the throw
Let the bright dizzy fountains magnificently flow!
(Upchuck!) Look at you go!

[Verse 2]
A simple mechanic, a marvelous trick
No reason to panic or say you feel sick
The porcelain altar is catching your shine
The evening was perfect, the vintage was fine
And now you are sending it back down the line!

[Chorus]
Yes, give it an upchuck! (Upchuck!)
A wonderful toss!
Born in 1936, a beautiful exhaust!
It’s just 'up' for the sky and 'chuck' for the throw
Let the bright dizzy fountains magnificently flow!
(Upchuck!) Look at you go!

[Bridge]
The scholars can keep all their medical terms
We don't need the Latin for settling nerves
When the room starts to spin and the gravity bends
Just pitch it right out in front of your friends!

[Chorus]
And give it an upchuck! (Upchuck!)
A wonderful toss!
Born in 1936, a beautiful exhaust!
It’s just 'up' for the sky and 'chuck' for the throw
Let the bright dizzy fountains magnificently flow!
(Upchuck!)

[Outro]
Stand up and take a magnificent bow!
You're totally hollow and... fetching a towel.
