lyrics

I held your hair,
This is a beauty site.
Your mind so full,
Thoughts are intertwined,
Between your ears, and between your thighs.
The words are hidden, yeah, they’re hidden in your eyes.

The lights are dim and my hands are tied.
I'm falling in as the water hits the tide.
The colours run, still pictures in my mind.
A bodysnatch as I watch the steps unwind.

My heart is like a motor running,
It can’t stop until the feelings going.
Last laugh, we need attention people.
Fight hard, to get me when we go.
Ohhh, It’s not unappreciated.

The Light, the sound, the pause, the tremble from yours lips.
Can’t breath,
The heat,
The unpresenting bluff, we need to keep.
The silence from the start so go, release.

There was fire from the start, so go release.
The effort to be found, but not to keep.
The voice inside our heads that needs to speak.
You don’t need to feel this weight to feel this heat.

And you said “nine months wasted”,
But I’ll never think of it like that, no.
“nine months wasted”,
I’m sorry, I never thought my feelings would go.

The McQueens image

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
