Queer Fascination

she said she had a predilection for weirdos
she said they fit the bill
she didn't waste much time in moving the party
away from that bar and grille
she took them back to their new apartment
and she helped them break it in
queer fascination
she was playing with a different sex
but it was just a queer fascination
she saw their gender as a special effect
queer fascination
queer fascination
she and they took off her bolo tie
and their costume jewelry
she and they put on slow jams and engaged
in the usual foolery
but it was over by the break of dawn
without a dear jane or a dear john
queer fascination
she was playing with a different sex
but it was just a queer fascination
she enjoyed not knowing what to expect from her
queer fascination
queer fascination
from the treacherous world of men
to a world so free and strange
queer fascination
she was playing with a different sex
but it was just a queer fascination
their gender was a special effect to her
queer fascination
queer fascination
queer fascination

now that I know you don't love me
now that the bond is broken
now that you're dropping me off where I live
and nothing has been left unspoken
before you head off to sleep
so soon to wake up fresh and new
won't you come inside and take my hands
in the way you never got a chance to do
and pin me down
and drag me under you
use me up before you throw me out
fuck me dead
don't waste me, ruin me
use me up and ride me raw before you ride away
you are a righteous preacher
and I have been your congregation
our star has gone supernova
but I can't unsee the constellation
there's one more part of the myth
that our story can't be told without
you've got to shove me down for the first and last time
and turn this bitch inside out
and pin me down
and drag me under you
use me up before you throw me out
fuck me dead
don't waste me, ruin me
use me up and ride me raw before you ride away
pin me down
and drag me under you
use me up before you throw me out
fuck me dead
don't waste me, ruin me
use me up and ride me raw before you ride away
I know that you won't
I know that you're done with me
cause you were just about to throw me out
but you might as well toss back the dregs of me
why don't you take the best that's left right now before you throw it away
use me up and ride me raw before you ride away

I know better than to call you now
but I I called you, this is what I would say
you deserve more than whatever you're receiving
from your partner, place of work, or the state
I know it's too late to wish you were here
but you could pour a splash of wine
and think of when our stars aligned
it's too late to wish you were here
but won't you think about the time
when we could relish being near each other
I saw that picture of you dressed in white
I'd like to say it didn't bug me at all
but you'd know better, so I'm only going to tell you
that I took your first name last fall
it's too late to wish you were here
but you could pour a splash of wine
and think of when our stars aligned
it's too late to wish you were here
but won't you think about the time
when we could relish being near each other
pour out some wine for better times
we ought to pour ourselves some wine for better times
let's pour ourselves some wine
because a better time won't come for a while
it's been nice not catching up with you
we should not do it again
and in case I don't get another chance to say it
the pleasure's been all mine, my ex-friend
it's too late to wish you were here
but you could pour a splash of wine
and think of when our stars aligned
it's too late to wish you were here
but won't you think about the time
when we could relish being near each other
pour out some wine for when we relished being near each other
pour out some wine for when we relished being near each other
pour ourselves some wine, because a better time won't come for a while

I could love anyone except for cops, bosses, and landlords
I love almost everyone, except for cops, bosses, and landlords
don't you know I'm no bootlicker
I just want to get by
I could love anyone except for cops, bosses, and landlords
I'd break bread with anyone except for cops, bosses, and landlords
raise my glass to everyone, except for the cops, bosses, and landlords
don't you know I'm no bootlicker
I just want us all to get by
I could love anyone except for cops, bosses, and landlords
when I see what they do to my neighbors
when I see what they do to my queer neighbors
when I see what they do to all my black and brown neighbors
I just can't see one good reason why
why can't we all just get along without cops, bosses, or landlords
with no cops, bosses, or landlords
no cops, bosses, or landlords

Sanctuary

I attended services
about a month after you left
they were singing that song I once heard you sing about a sanctuary
I wept uncontrollably
needless to say
I was thinking about you singing about being a sanctuary
oh, prepare me to be a sanctuary
oh, prepare me to be a sanctuary
now, I could sing about you
the time we spent in your room
and sure enough, there with you, there was a sanctuary
but it's not a song about loss
or wanting some love back
it's a song about the love you give when you make yourself a sanctuary
oh, prepare me to be a sanctuary
oh, prepare me to be a sanctuary
my love is profane
because it's all in your name
but I would like to prepare to be a sanctuary
oh, prepare me to be a sanctuary
oh, prepare me to be a sanctuary

Poor Eliza has one of those voices that always sounds like it's breaking the worst possible news to you in the most empathetic possible way, and it's a power matched here by the full band production.

From America...The Daylilies

For me, this new Boston-area supergroup lands somewhere between the Buggles and Blondie, and I am absolutely 100% here for it.
