    This is my second album - another DIY home grown and home recorded suitcase of songs that I've been carrying around festivals over this past year.

    Some songs you'll have heard me playing live a lot in fields and around campfires and some songs are ones that I've sat on for a year and let them grow into new versions of themselves.

    Either way, I hope you like what you hear and that some of the songs can can give you the same comfort they did to me when I wanted to hide in my wardrobe when everything else felt too difficult.

lyrics

Wouldn't it be easier, to just be a girl
I'm sorry mate but haven't you heard
That I never was and never will be
I'm sick of all this gender policing
Because I don't take injections that hurt my arse
So you think that you've got the right to ask
Or pose a question by saying 'no offence'
The way you say it makes no difference

And I don't ask what's in your pants
So don't ask what's in mine
Don't tell me the story of how I offend you
I've heard the same one a hundred times
I just want a piss and now you're taking it
And I'm so sick of the fighting and accepting the bullshit
I just want to live it's the only thing I want to do
And I've still got bigger balls than all of you.

I don't believe in it, just ain't a reason
I am not something to believe in
I don't expect a nice response but I can't see how what I am doing is wrong
Then the man at the bar says he don't give a shit
'Cause in the town where he grew up and the house that he lived in
He lived next door to a lovely fellow
Who happened to be gay - and that’s not the same.

I didn't cut off my chest
Or feel sick to get undressed
Never fallen in love never formed a relationship
Cannot get close, and please don’t think I chose this
I only chose to live
but I’m starting to question if life’s really worth it
