Rainy Monday 04:12

It’s a Monday Rainy, mundane As I cycle home from work I see a gay bar And there you are No more Monday blues One sly wink I buy a drink We exchange each other’s smiles You toss your hair I know that glare It’s time to make my move I’ll push the crowd out of the way I’ll walk towards you and softly say Hey, hey honey come dance with me Let’s dance our way Through the streets It’s our own time, just me and you No one to judge us, point and shoo This song is playing just for us The perfect song to fall in love Dancing close, I feel your pulse you look just like a movie star We can just dance, feel the romance You’ve completely stole my heart It’s getting late But it’s so great Let’s continue somewhere else You say your place I don’t hesitate I’ll order the uber home I’ll push the crowd out of the way I’ll walk towards you and softly say Hey, hey honey come dance with me Let’s dance our way Through the streets It’s our own time, just me and you No one to judge us, point and shoo This song is playing just for us The perfect song to fall in love It’s a Monday Rainy, mundane As I wake up from my dream It’s my favourite dream Teenage fantasy And one I won’t let go One day I’ll meet you And you’ll be there And we’ll dance without a care Until that day comes I’ll sing this song And it could come true I’ll push the crowd out of the way I’ll walk towards you and softly say Hey, hey honey come dance with me Let’s dance our way Through the streets It’s our own time, just me and you No one to judge us, point and shoo This song is playing just for us The perfect song to fall in love

I'm falling through life Arms flailing Mouth wailing But who's gonna catch me this time? And I'm tripping up over my days Chasing my dreams far away Because I'm stumbling and twirling round Bang bang, I've hit the ground But I pick myself up And I dust myself off With a couple of scratches, I'll survive In this mayhem, we call life I'm rushing tripping over the edge And oh fuck I've lost my head Because it's all a big somersault On the floor again it's all my fault I can't stand still else I'll go backward But one step further and I crumble It's like running through a jungle But I pick myself up And I dust myself off With a couple of scratches, I'll survive In this mayhem, we call life It's hard at times Don't I know Sometimes it's a shit show But you gotta keep standing up And trust me it's enough It's hard at times Don't I know Sometimes it's a shit show But you gotta keep standing up And trust me it's enough So I pick myself up And I dust myself off With a couple of scratches, I'll survive In this mayhem, we call life So I pick myself up And I dust myself off With a couple of scratches, I'll survive In this mayhem, we call life

You say you like my hat 03:59

You say you like my hair Then you say you like my hat But you never say that you like me or something nice like that What about me? What about me? Is it just an envelope that you can see? I can't get you off my mind You've been paying me compliments all the time You either like me Or you don't Stop saying that you like my coat Because I have good style And yeah I know it so If you like me Go ahead and show it Because you say you like my hair Then you say you like my hat But you never say that you like me or something nice like that What about me? What about me? Is it just an envelope that you can see? You're driving me to insanity Just fuck off And let me be I don't need your validation When it's my feelings that need your attention I'm more than just a mannequin I made of flesh and blood and soul and skin so Underneath these clothes you see I actually have personality But you say you like my hair Then you say you like my hat But you never say that you like me or something nice like that What about me? What about me? Is it just an envelope that you can see? Pause You say you like my hair Then you say you like my hat But you never say that you like me or something nice like that What about me? What about me me me me? Is it just an envelope that you can see? You say you like my hair Then you say you like my hat But you never say that you like me or something nice like that What about me? What about me me me me me? Is it just an envelope that you can see? WHAT ABOUT ME!

about

Born out of the Vrankrijk WTF Queer Wednesdays, a Queer choir and a love of music, four friends embarked on making a band together. Through limited experience, a strong DIY attitude, and good friends we played a lot of gigs and wrote a lot of songs. Here is the outcome of our first year, a labour of trial, error and love we have created our first masterpiece. We hope you have as much pleasure listening as we had to make it. Don't worry it's is just the beginning . . .
