im failing at normal, succeeding at weird
something in my eyes that confirms what they feared
it'll never be real; a fantasy thing
father please help me, take me under your wing
the pastor tells me to take his hand
i can hear in his voice that it's all in His plan
as God is my witness ill get thru this sickness
my feelings betray me but ill pray it away
im failing at boy but not succeeding at girl
he says the world is my oyster; i could be the pearl
just gotta bury the dirt in me as deep as it gets
so when i get up to heaven ill have paid my debts
the pastor tells me...

when u discovered u were queer u were living in a tiny town where nothing queer ever happens for miles and miles around
but then u heard of a magical place at the mouth of the river thames where everyone's on twitter in cafes and the party never ends
they say there's gay clubs on every corner, they say the streets are paved with gold, they say that everyone's stylish and sexy and the people there don't grow old
so get urself down to london where any queer can be a star; if you can survive in london everybody will know who u r
cos everything happens in london
all the queers are living in london
it's not cool 2 live in the midlands
because everything happens in london
but once you've been there for half a year and ur feeling kinda down on luck, you may find that you start to consider that maybe london sorta kinda sucks
because the rent is as high is the skyline and the landlord's a fucking jerk and everyone's on twitter in cafes because they just can't seem to find work
and people say that pride is a protest, but it's really just a corporate wank; you march and you shout politely between the arms dealers and the investment banks
so get urself down to london, london's as good as you get; you'll be safe living in london under the watchful eye of the met
cos everything happens in london...
there's a hole in the world like a great black pit and it's filled with people who are filled with shit and the vermin of the world inhabit it; that's london
there's solidarity in misery and misery loves company and we'll all live together in poverty in london

my feminism will be intersectional or bullshit
i dunno what it means but im sure as hell gonna say it
my feminism will be intersectional or bullshit
so when it comes to oppression you know im not the culprit
and ill never know what it's like to live in fear of poverty
and ill never know what it's like to live with disability
well i go to a russell group university
im on the committee of the feminist society
ill teach u how to lean in against your oppression
it can't be wrong, i said the magic slogan
and ill never know what it's like to live in fear of poverty
and ill never know what it's like to live with disability
and ill never be afraid to go to the doctor
and ill never know what it's like to live in fear

all of the world is a stage to you and all that you are is a song
all of your doctors are watching you and hoping you sing the tune wrong
so sing your pitiful heart out, darling, try to keep it in key
sing the words that you practised, darling, maybe you'll fool them
maybe you'll make them agree
[doc: Maybe you do identify with certain stereotypes of the female gender role, but that doesn't make you a woman.]
[doc: When did this idea first occur to you?]
[doc: It's a medical matter, it isn't a personal choice. I like to be informed.]
[doc: If you can demonstrate to me that you can live in society and pass as a female, be accepted as a female, then I may be able to refer you to a surgeon.]
[doc: And if you don't like that, well then you must find another doctor.]
[julia: well i think it's very unfair that one person should have the right after only, sort of, half and hour's chat, three-quarters of an hour's chat, to make a decision on a person's life]
in your drowning you'll find your tune
the dance they'd never teach to you
and in the wake of a thousand stars
you'll be the nightmare they dream you are

rainbow list

you see her on the tv, in the papers on the shelves
she says she speaks for you but she speaks only for herself
she's the darling of the media, works with them weaving spells
she's a product for the market and an expert at the sell
and she's gonna make the rainbow list this year
she's given sixty interviews, they love to hear her speak
and she's learned a lot since she became an activist last week
cos she's the primary authority on things you've known for years
and she knows for certain she deserves the worship of your peers
and she's gonna make the rainbow list this year
the Liberal Gay Betray the Trans career
cos she's telling everybody exactly what they want to hear
