about

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

lyrics

They talk, but don’t say much.
Sleeping in saddles; they cut your lunch.

Like a beauty-star;
Like a tired liar.
It comes to me
With more,
But with something;
Late.

And this feelings so distressed but at least you know. When I decide to call, youll just come back running home. This feelings so distraught, at least you know. Till you decide to know what it is I’m running from.

Cause I, I feel so at a loss. I know that you were right in saying that I, I get it so confused.

They warn but don’t say why.
Rinse and Repeat; At least you tried.
When beauty is a gift, and you’re a liar. You’ll come to me with more; but with something late.

And this feelings so distressed but at least you know. When I decide to call, you’ll just come back running home. This feelings so distraught, at least you know. Till you decide to know what it is I’m running from.

Cause I, I feel so at a loss. I know that you were right in saying that I, I get it so confused.

Washed away in Rome,
So I put it in a chest in Madrid,
I Lost it all in Antwerp,
But did I really have it to begin?

Can’t let it go; when your nose is in my hair. You smell it too. It smells of spiced rum and despair. You want it all, but you were told to look away. Can’t wash it off. I guess the blame is here to stay.

Washed away in Rome,
So I put it in a chest in Madrid,
I Lost it all in Antwerp,
But did I really have it to begin?

about

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
