Scratch, scratch my head I wonder what the doctor said: "I hate to inform you I look right through you!" Look, see! Look here! I cannot live without the fear Am drawn toward the cliff Right past it Performer, performer I need to include you in this shit Performer, performer Don't be mad Please don't do it Egad! My feet are burning because underneath is a giant frying pan I know that I can hop, skip out of it Then look up at the infinite pans on hobs Below red clouds Don't force it, enforcer We've been cooped up in here so long Enforcer, come closer I don't care if it's right or wrong So long, my friend So long, my friend

ALL THE TIME 02:58
Bless me Father for the sin that I’m about to be committing Infernal Diabolical digits running over my skin I know that you wanna to take me & it feels so unholy But I keep coming back Satanic pact I want your skin inside me Chorus Think about you all the time No I cannot get you off my mind Been thinkin bout that look in your eye - haha all the time Did you know there two types of time? The tick tock tick tock kind & the infinity of sensuality that you could feel if you’d only let me Raise your delicious pulse What I’m offering is priceless An eternity of sexuality Pleasure forever - endless Chorus Think about you all the time No I cannot get you off my mind Been thinkin bout that look in your eye - haha all the time Sing to may! Now is the day! & time stands still U met me at a crossroads I am bored & I got no soul I dont believe in Gods Or Jesus But I believe in this arsehole

WHO WE R 02:49
You oughta know Please would you take a seat? Wish I had done this long ago I’d like you to meet the real me Had to unravel the wires Put out the burning fires Repression; rigidity But nothing could've prepared me for who we are Sound the alarm! Something unsaid It’s not just in my head Why O Why Try to discredit Who we are? We’ve come so far Who are you? This is who we are We wear the scars With pride! Not gonna to hide! If something seems strange Do not try to change me Finally getting comfortable with who I am If you don’t like it, go fuck yourselves! We don’t give a damn Don’t need your pity Do you understand? They tried to kill our culture Erasing all our lovers They’ll never win the finish No, we should never be punished for Who we are Who we are You need to know this is who I am Take my hand Shall we dance? Nothing can phase us Never try to change us No brainer You should be proud of Who you are You’ve come so far Yer Beautiful This is who we are This is who we are Believe in who you are

I got a husband, a car & a coupla kids I got a job & a God & it’s boring as shit I wanna fuck it all in; just wanna have some fun again The only fun that have is with my best friend (Let me tell ya about ‘em) They’re so cool They break the rules Chorus I’m in love with my best friend Yay I’m in love with my best friend & I don’t want it to end Just wanna feel the same again, my friend I just being a heroine with my best friend They are smart, they are funny & they know how to (indecipherable ‘o’ noise) me Wanna drive away together to a place by the sea We been together before so I think they might want more of us So just maybe if we’re free we could be happy Sure I said a bunch a words when I got with him I just said em for his parents but I didn’t mean em Monogamy’s monotony; it’s not for everybody & so whenever we’re together it is just everything! I’m gonna tell ‘em today That I cannot stay Chorus I’m in love with my best friend Yay I’m in love with my best friend & I don’t want it to end Just wanna feel the same again, my friend I just being a heroine with my best friend

I can’t help you like I want to I just watch you fade on stage I just watch you from your cage Shit’s been crazy all this time Can you give me hope? Some hope Validate helpless cries Please help me with hope Some hope Not too weigh on your shoulders Can’t you give me hope Some hope Can’t see past glaring despair Can’t you give me hope? Some hope Tell me that it’s not all bad. I would pull all of the vessels from my heart Plug all my love into you for a chance at a jumpstart I would set this set this world not but for your spirit ablaze Let it rot and fertilise Maybe we can start again I would take all the sleepless nights I would take all the awful fights Constant agony The loss and gain I would take it, all of your pain I would take all the fear, feel I would show them all that is real But it would just all be in vain But I can hold your hand through this rain I can’t watch you slip away

JUST DRIVE 03:44
Glued to the tube for days The world is a terrible place It wears a human face I called you Desperate to get out of my head “Take me for a drive” I said & then you said yes Ignition. “Where shall we go?” “I don’t know. Just drive.” God, I’ve missed you. All feels so fucked There’s nothing that we can do But that didn’t cut through When I was with you I felt alive Tunez blaring outta yr shitty speakers Disappear in the rearview When I was with you Please, don’t ask why Just drive. Your pet name for me is ‘Sign o’ the times’ We didn’t stop all night Kept going til sunrise. The coastline. You saved my life that night. Depression isn’t just about yourself. It is about everything else & everyone Thought about killing myself for so long. Hold me. All feels so fucked There’s nothing that we can do But that doesn’t cut through When I am with you I feel alive Tunez blaring outta yr shitty speakers Disappear in the rearview When I was with you Please, don’t ask why Just drive.

about

‘SUPERBIA’ (Latin for ‘Pride’) is about a couple of things. Firstly, it’s about life as a Queer person. Thus, it’s quite a personal record & I’m certainly not wanting to speak on behalf of the entire trans &/or Queer community. These are very much my experiences.

The previous album I made ‘OYEZ’ was essentially a coming out record, so this is kind of a post coming out story. Life as a Queer person. & life as me as a Queer person, given that it discusses some quite dark subject matter, mostly cos that’s the way I write.

Secondly, I also made this E.P for Queer people in the sense that I feel there is a lot of negative coverage of the trans & queer community currently. So I wanted something that was just for us. Something that is audibly enjoyable whilst talking about real stuff.

I want it to be relatable & I didn’t just want the record to say ‘Let’s Party! Everything’s great! Being Queer is easy & simple’. Because it’s not. It’s also wonderful & I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Finally, there is the main theme, which is Queer Love. Almost every song on the record is about a relationship from one person to another. (Not necessarily a romantic/sexual one) Alot of it is about friendships & companionship & love as a Queer Love.
