Newish Songs (updated August 2026)

Queen

I’ve been dreaming, I’ve been feeling. I’ve been holding something sad.

You’ve been dreaming, you’ve been feeling. You’ve been holding something sad.

Something told me a long time ago, that I was broken, that I was not whole. That I was not worthy, that I was not clean. That I was not worth it, I was not a Queen. That I’m not important, my needs are not right. That you’re more important, for you I would fight. But I am a fighter and I am a Queen. And I hold the future, and I hold a dream. A dream we are equal, a dream we are fair. A dream we are equal, a dream we can share.

We’ve been dreaming, we’ve been feeling. We’ve been holding something sad.

‘Lypse

I don’t want it to be the end. I don’t want it to be the sky. I don’t want it to be the end. I don’t want it to be the sky.

The sun has got to set, if it’s ever going to rise. The sun has got to set, if it’s ever going to rise.

I could drive into the sunset, I could drive into the rain. I could drive into the sadness, I could drive into the pain. I could drive into the anger, I could drive into the shame. Inside me is the sadness, inside me is the pain. Inside me is the anger, inside me is the shame.

I don’t want it to be the end. I don’t want it to be the sky. I don’t want it to be the end. I don’t want it to be the sky.

The sun has got to set, if it’s ever going to rise. The sun has got to set, if it’s ever going to rise.

I could drive right through the sunset, I could drive right through the rain. I could drive right through the sadness, I could drive right through the pain. I could drive right through the anger, I could drive right through the shame. Inside me is the sadness, inside me is the pain. Inside me is the anger, inside me is the shame.

I can do

(GCD) I don’t want to play. The end is in my way. I don’t wanna fight. If only for tonight.

I don’t want to play. If only for today. I don’t wanna be right. If only for tonight.

(CDGC) Make your bed, sleep on it. Go to hell, have a fit. Cry again, dance around. Eat to much, make a sound.

This is what I can do, dance for me, dance for you. This is what I can do, dance for me, dance for you. This is what I can do, dance for me, dance for you…..

Dickheads

Let’s talk about power. Let’s talk about pain. Let’s talk about money. Let’s talk about shame. Let’s talk about bodies. Let’s talk about pain. Let’s talk about gender. Let’s talk about shame.

And the dickheads know they always win, but they don’t know when they’re done in. Ya the dickheads know they always win, but they don’t know when they’re done in. The power’s outside and ours is in. The power’s outside and ours is in. And that is why we will win. THAT IS WHY WE WILL WIN.

Power. Pain. Money. Shame. Bodies. Pain. Gender. Shame.

In Joy

This is my joy. This is my joy. This is joy. This is joy. x2

This is my joy, this is my joy, this is my joy. Not your joy. x2

This is my joy. This is my joy. This is joy. This is joy. x1

This is my joy, this is my joy, this is my joy. Not your joy. x2

Aware

Why don’t we go out to sea, so see how we would fare? Why don’t we go out to sea, to see what we find there?

Why don’t we go out to sea? Why don’t we go there? Why don’t we go out to sea, to see what we find there.

You make me happy. You make me fair. You make me happy, I am aware. x2

When did you remember who we had to become? When did you remember who we were hiding from?

When did I remember why we were all undone? When did I remember why we had to be one.

You make me happy. You make me fair. You make me happy, I am aware. x2

Body

Body, body. Be free, be free.

Body, body. Fuck me, fuck me.

Fuck you, fuck you. Be true, be true.

Body, body. Be free, be free.

Be true, be true. Be you, be you.

Be free, be free. Body. Body.

Be me, be me. Body. Body.

DRAFT Welcome

How many houses? How many homes? How much money makes you feel alone? This many houses. This many homes. This much money makes you feel alone.

Oh the river. Oh the wood. Oh the river, my neighbourhood. Oh the river. Oh the wood. Oh the river, my neighbourhood.

You say you want this tangerine

You way you want the right to dream

You say you want some real ice cream, then you must pay

You must pay

You say you want to turn off your damn phone

You say you want peace in the world, then you must pay

You must pay

Pay for money pay for time, pay for patience, pay for rhyme, pay for salad pay for thyme,

Just pay Just pay

Pay for consciousness in thought, pay for things that can’t be bought, pay for all that we have sought

Just pay Just pay

You say you want humanity

To rise above the life of greed

You say we are in desperate need

And so we pay

You say you are somebody’s dream

You say you really need to scream

So you must pay

You must pay

Trust me, trust me, trust in me

This is what I’ve always missed

You are something I can be

You are something I can’t see

Open me and let me in

Peace is our justice, peace is our right, we will find peace, we will find right

FGCC

It’s just a tear, it’s just a fear

It’s in your eyes, it’s in the lies

It’s brushed away, it always fades

It’s just a fight, we’re never right

It’s hard to say, just wait a day

It’s hard to leave, there’s time to grieve

I am falling

I am stalling

I am waiting

F G C Am

For love to set me free

F G C C

For love to be believed
