‘On Your Mind’ is the Small Miracles manifesto, and the essence of our sound.
Driving Drums and Bass, swirling keys and roaring guitars accompany lead singer Finn Pelling’s frenetic, thoughtful lyricism.
‘On Your Mind’ is an song for the outsiders, the weirdos and the unseen. A queer anthem for those who are not what they are being told to be.
I’M. NOT. YOUR. MAN
lyrics
Won’t you tell me what you’re drinking?
Eyes wide open, hardly blinking,
Look inside, do you like what you see?
Am I everything that you possibly wanted me to be?
Won’t you tell who you’re wearing?
Designer glasses that just won’t stop staring,
Cr-cr-creeping, lurking - my sly Dick Turpin,
Ultraviolet Ultra-Violence on where I’m hurting.
‘Cause I’m on your mind,
I’m on your mind,
I’m here, I’m queer,
I’m not your man,
Won’t you telling me where you’re running?
I said are you going or are you coming?
You fetishise these fluid lines,
But I’m not yours to be touched or taken,
Come on, let’s go,
Show me fast and show me oh so slow,
I’m better than you’ll ever know,
‘Cause I’m on your mind,
I’m on your mind,
I’m here, I’m queer,
I’m not your man,
Salty sheets and liquid lips,
This queer existence is all politics,
But I’ll gender f*ck this cis-tem up,
Offend and conquer all the TERFs and the cucks,
Let’s tear it up,
Rip down the patriarchy brick by boring brick,
(Rip her down,
I guess it’s my time to go)
‘Cause I’m on your mind,
I’m on your mind,
I’m here, I’m queer,
I’m not your man,
‘Cause I’m on your mind,
I’m on your mind,
I’m here, I’m queer,
I’m not your man,
(I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man, I’m not your man)
