about

From 'Return to Laughter' EP (The McQueens, 2013). Written in June 2013. Recorded at Ginger Studios 2013.

lyrics

Oh, you know.
A broken boy, who wears complacency, so well.
Well, I guess it was our return to laughter.
And so we fell into the trap that took our fathers;
or so they tell. But I’ve seen light, and I don’t mind it.

Bred to please and shake these empty wall. You know you were right, after all. Don’t you hold your tongue for things unsaid; wont make this any easier.

Cause it wasn’t very nice, but I didn’t really care, cause your feet were on the ground, but your words were everywhere.

Deserted wit, cause you don’t think you need it now.
When the choice is her’s, she’ll salt my words, increase the silence.

Bred to please and shake these empty walls. You know you were right, beautiful.
Don’t you hold your head for things unsaid; wont make this any easier.

Cause it wasn’t very nice, but I didn’t really care, cause your feet were on the ground, but your words were everywhere.

Cause it’s never very nice, when you’re lying through your teeth. Just a pretty summer dress; with nothing underneath.

Deserted wit, cause you don’t think you need it now.

about

The McQueens Melbourne, Australia

Steve McQueen was known as “The King of Cool”. This may seem a hard legacy to live up to, but The McQueens do a very good job. If Steve perfected the art of acting, the band have perfected the art of electro infused rock. Simultaneously dark and danceable, dense, and full of attitude. The McQueens are Noah Harris (vox/gtr/keys), Tibby McNab (Bass), Yano Newman (gtr) and Harry Monaghan (Drums). ... more
