Act Up!
please don't stay the same.
Hanging on-ly kissing boot
No Spare Change
There's too much space here
for straights to cruise
There are no traffic accidents
There are no fools!
are we doing things we're not supposed to?
won't follow party line down state-sanctioned bed
no
You're in the way
of their plans
They're just trying
to have a good time
You're bringing them down
Queer 'till I die
this cannot be cleaned
Coming out every day
Don't fuck with Me
Whisper it once
then shout it twice
Calling out this pair
of loaded dice
Refuse to couple off
to hide hierarchy
Through these thin walls
I wanna hear a better scream!
are we doing things we're not supposed to?
won't follow party line down state-sanctioned bed
no
You're in the way
of their plans
They're just trying
to have a good time
You're bringing them down
Queer 'till I die
we can't be cleaned
Coming out every day
Come on, fuck with Me
{rant interlude}
now that some can marry
and make them say our names
we could be forgiven for thinking
we'd won some kind of game
but queers still die at borders
on each and every street
we do their violence for them
and often we don't eat
they surveill us on facebook
in sexual health clinics
laws in their back-pockets
waiting for us to split
but assimilation will mean death
assimilation will mean death
assimilation means death
We Are Alive
{/}
and I want to do things we're not supposed to
too shy to lie with people in my bed
yo
They're in the way
of our plans
We're just trying
to have a good time
So we're bringing them down

Ready to Go

Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready
Come down from the mountain
and wash up on shore
enough distance between us
without adding more
scattered in movement
transported through song
rediscovered beneath rubble and skin
it's just like we knew all along
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
We made it this far,
can see what it took
hiding the feeling deep in heart
while they pulp and print books
in the branches of elder
on the shoulders of strangers and friends
look over each wall
see beyond our end(s)
we made it this far
and that's further than most
will the length of these sounds
carry beyond the post
I know it's hard to hear
and it's hard to know
but if you're still hearing this: You are winning
and you're not alone
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
I'm ready to go
so come down from the mountain
'fore they drink up the sea
feet covering eye
but through rhythm I see
scattered in movement
transported through song
yeah sometimes it skips
but we're moving all along
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
Like an unbroken record
I'm ready to go
I'm ready to go
I'm ready to go
to where? i don't know
but I'm ready to go

Last Orders
fermenting
fish out the barrell
just a puddle to swim
and it's getting quite heady
you better be ready
fuck keeping it steady
so far, so what?
No Borders
!
Divide and spin
that's how they win-win-win
and it is everywhere
it's not a wall, it's a net
occupying sides of minds
while feeding yeas' sugar and lye
No Order
foamenting
at the mouth
'till these spoons run out
and it's inside bloody beans
there's no service for me
when raw palms get squeezy
it fuels what? fools a lot
Last Border
!
over the edge
before it drives a wedge
and it is brewing beneath us
the grounded bequeath us
a path to eye from eye
we will belong as no surprise

Elephant & Castle
Circular Road
I miss the Service Station
at Greystones
but not the way I do miss you
Holy Shit
oh me oh my
You are the pain au chocolat
of my eye
I have never known anyone like you
Wow oh Wow
You're my best friend
I scream this
at nihilists
Cause there ain't nothing that I need
No Not hot nor heavy
Not M D M A
Staying put or going away
Never caused more trouble than with you
oh Home
let me come Home
Home is anywhere I'm homeless with you
oh Home
let me come Home
Home is anywhere I'm homefree with you
yeah
I'd follow you
into the park
through any window
through the dark
I've never known anyone like you
Fields & Roofs
climbs and falls
police cells
international calls
I have been everywhere with you
So just laugh
'till we think that
we might've died
barefoot on this winter night
Never could be warmer than with you
Then in the street
you riot a'free
Like it's only
'them and we'
Jeeeeez, you're someone to see
oh Home
let me come Home
Home is anywhere I'm homeful with you
oh Home
let me come Home
Home is anywhere I'm homefree with you
yeah
la la la.. take me home
la la la.. take me home
la la la la la la la.. take me Home

Shout down a street
through a thicket of forms
Trace line over face
definition is worn
and it hurts me
and it shuts me
up
until now
never thought I could work
with the Guardians of Peace
standing by with a smirk
No Running, No Fighting,
Can you Prove It?
I cannot
Stop dreaming it
this is not sleep
With a lock on a door
and those boots on these feet
It ain't over
but no thing moves
Cotton and Silk armor eyes
on one knee
but the hands chained behind
still be holding a key
Cotton and Silk moving faster
all needs
with the hands unchained
fist holding a key
Same street again
like we're way back when
one would reach the end
when we started with ten
and ninety watch from balconies and
sigh
n away responsibility
not able to respond (civilly)
No Running, No Fighting (back)
I'm Done
with this town
I am Done with all towns
Spectator Misery
stuck in both scene and crowd
and the Silence makes
the Noise seem small
Cotton and Silk armor eyes
on one knee
but the hands chained behind
still be holding a key
Cotton and Silk moving faster
all needs
with the hands unchained
fist holding a key
Then it's straight back
to being confused and scared
of Straights, strangers,
such flakey friends
I have felt too much,
not ready for
enough
with this lie
that inertia is peace
broadcast it daily while
no-one dares speak
well it bores me
and it opens me
up
to all new ways
up to any way
of being femme, free, happy,
surviving the day
and who knows..
every one's a start
Cotton and Silk armor eyes
on one knee
but the hands chained behind
still be holding a key
x3
Cotton and Silk moving faster
all needs
with the hands unchained
fist holding a key
