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’ ...
‘BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL'

Deed is Done

I knew you were too good to be true
“I love you” came into play way too soon
And I knew that it would hurt eventually
I didn’t care, I was too busy being happy
It’s all gone: the deed is done
It’s all gone: the deed is done
I had to let go of you
That was all but easy
You had become my favourite enemy
I had to go cold turkey
It’s all gone: the deed is done
It’s all gone: the deed is done
I wish I could have seen the light
And not have given you any of my day
But love is blind, they say
So I suffer quietly
Day in day out,
Longer by the memory
Of how it feels to be happy
It’s all gone: the deed is done
It’s all gone: the deed is done
It’s all gone: the deed is done
It’s all gone: the deed is done

A Tout Jamais

Si tu voulais de mon amour
Il t’appartiendrait pour toujours
Je te donne le compte à rebours
Pour que tu me fasses la cour
Tu me dragues, je te vannes
On est tous les deux
Tu me nargues, je m’attache
On tombe amoureux
Et quand bien même
Les choses se gâteraient
Saches que je t’aime
Et cela a tout jamais
C’est une belle histoire d’amour
Comme on en entend pas tous les jours
Pourvu qu’elle dure pour toujours
Et nous inspire quelques calembours
Tu m’enlaces, je t’embrasse
On se tient la mien
Tu m’agaces, je m’agite
Mais ça ne fait rien
Car quand bien même
Les choses se gâteraient
Saches que je t’aime
Et cela a tout jamais
‘Cause every I want, you’ve got it
Everything I need, you’ve got it
Anything at all, you’ve it
Da, Da, Da,Da, Da, Da, Da Da, Da, Da, Da, Da

I'll Stick Around
02:39

Let’s sum up what’s going’ on:
You and I loving each other
‘Got to keep that secret
‘Cause it’s not of common use
We don’t match each other, they say
And this you believe, and this you listen
From now on, I’m like Mardou
Losing her Jack away
Wanna fit into the system
And for that purpose you’d break off
The building of our love
To join the herd …
In Olympia they looked the same, and talked the same and fucked the same
But everywhere around is the same …
Listen to the breeders, instead of your heart
Their money and cocaine can win it
I understand and I forgive
I’ll stick around
I’ll stick around
I’ll stick around

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.”
