Black is Beautiful

She sits there in her room
Listening to The Cure
She’s there on her own
With her headphones on
Her little sis storms in: she wants to know more
She streams, she screens: she wants to know more
She says ‘Black is beautiful’
She says it’s not even a colour
She says ‘Black is beautiful’
She says it’s not even a colour
She heads straight from school
To embrace subculture
With Doc Martens boots and a Niggy Tardust tee-shirt on
She gets dirty looks from all the other girls
Who do wonder what is wrong with her
She says ‘Black is beautiful’
They say it’s not even a colour
She says ‘Black is beautiful’
They say it’s not even a colour
Her folks think she is demented
Her folks think she’s been abducted
By the white white white white white white noise
By the white white white white white white noise
They say ‘Black is beautiful’
She says it’s not even a colour
They say ‘Black is beautiful’
She says it’s not even a colour
It’s not even a colour, it’s not even a colour
She digs the vibe of Wesley Willis
She feels his stress on neurosis
Bad Brains: she gains, she gets, she rates
Bad Brains: she gains, she gets, she rates
They say ‘Black is Beautiful’ : It’s not even a colour
They say ‘Black is Beautiful’ : It’s not even a colour
It’s not even a colour, it’s not even a colour
Have you ever felt this way? Hum, hum, hum
Have you ever felt this way? Hum, hum, hum
Have you ever felt this way? Hum, hum, hum
To say, to say…
‘I know, I know, I know, I know’
‘I know, I know, I know, I know’ ...

Madame So London, UK
"This North London-based solo artist is intense. She’ll remind you of so many singers but is impossible to pin down." (The
Girls Are)
“Possibly one of the most exciting lyricists working in London at this time and a great performer with a proper Parisian edge and a twisted sense of humour.” (sic Simulated Pragmatism)
In her own words: “If I pushed your buttons, I’ve accomplished my mission.”
