about

(For Love Is Queer)

"The Glasses have released another album full of great pop songs and it is even better than their last album (which I didn't believe would be possible)." This Is Pop Music

"That a band as good as The Glasses can spend nearly a decade toiling in relative obscurity is a testament to the quality of the Seattle music scene." NadaMucho

"The Glasses are perfect pop for the twee bedsitters. Armed with a sweet soft boy-gal vocals and sunny pop b&s melodies, they will warm the cockles of your hearts." 4Imaginaryboys

"Some good old fashioned indie pop songs!" Indie Today

"In the absence of Tullycraft (The Glasses) are taking over the crown of the Emerald City’s writers of undeniable, saccharine-twee songs." The Finest Kiss

"This is twee-ish indie pop at its greatest; plenty of jangle-guitar, packed with male/female vocals, and filled with lyrics that simply make you happy." Fensepost

Track Name: Everyday Beauty
stunned by
your everyday beauty
your mundane
is still very much lovely

when the lights here change / your prettiness turns strange

glasses
steamed by your weather
fall down
light as a feather

vibrations speak / when words are just too weak

la, la, la

stunned by
your everyday beauty
your mundane
is still very much lovely

when the lights here change / your prettiness turns strange
Track Name: Love Is Queer
if it were up to me / I'd free the royal we
so we'd all get a chance / at married romance

Civil Unions, Please! / don't bring us to our knees
We'll linger there / la da duh da

who cares | what we do | in our own rooms
we love | just like you | only in better shoes...Love is Queer

we're not always sweet / like girls are 'sposed to be
we'd pull a knife / and steal your wife
'cause she's not very pleased / (by your ways) sexually
we'd take our time / and blow her mind

who cares | what we do | in our own rooms
we love | just like you | only in better shoes

love is queer, my dear / affection is mighty gay
even the macho man / is sweet on St. Valentine's day
love is queer, my dear / it's true-oo for everyone
whether you're a straight-laced girl / or a kick-ass lesbian... Love is Queer
Track Name: Above And Below The Waist
driving through the streets of our drab town
bored to death we got nothin' to do (BORED TO DEATH!)
heaven's
a million years aw-off
and we're forbidden to touch
above and below the waist

take all you've seen
unlearn their ways
explore until your free
you'll find there's more to life than this...

frustration's swelling, but we must be good
so in love, who's better than you? (SO IN LOVE!)
Pleasure's
a million years aw-off
by then we'll be dead
above and below the waist

take all you've seen
unlearn their ways
explore until your free
you'll find there's more to life than these religious schemes
their fake guarantees
these purity schemes
to think your clean

take all you've seen
unlearn their ways
explore until your free
you'll find there's more to life than this...

driving through the streets of our drab town
bored to death we got nothin' to do (BORED TO DEATH!)
heaven's
a million years aw-off
by then we'll be dead
above and below the waist
Track Name: It's Metaphorical
it's metaphorical, it's metaphorical
for how much I love
it's metaphorical
for how much I love you

magnets bind / fire climbs / you keep blowing my mind
i'm attached to you
light my dark / leave a mark / electricity sparks
I am starved for you

it's metaphorical, it's metaphorical
for how much I love
it's metaphorical
for how much I love you

insane delight/ magic nights / my heart's taken flight
I'm entranced by you

it's metaphorical, it's metaphorical
for how much I love
it's metaphorical
for how much I love you
Track Name: One Late Night
please sit down for a little while
rest, relax I'm without guile

I won't try to make you love me back
I won't bring up that time we shared a kiss

a kih-iss
one late night we
kissed
now what do we do?

please sit down for a little while
rest, relax I'm without guile

we don't know what will happen next
it's just as well left better as a guess

a kih-iss
one late night we
kissed
now what do we do?

I won't try to make you love me back
I won't bring up that time we shared a kiss

a kih-iss
one late night we
kissed
now what do we do?
Track Name: Foreword
at the Pride parade
I finally understood you
oh-oh
in an unguarded moment
your love, it rang true
oh-oh

for now there's no you and us
no differences to cause a fuss

at the Pridefest
I finally understood you
oh, ohhhh
Track Name: Pride Song
cheering on the garish floats
laughing at the queeny show boats
it's just all fun
it's just all fun

dykes on bikes laissez faire
city streets alive with bears
it's just all fun
it's just all fun

dancing round the fountain, nudes
boys and girls are chicks and dudes
it's just all fun
it's just all fun

sporties, femmes, BDSM
For now there's no us versus them
it's just all fun
it's just all fun

stopped
in an unguarded moment
i
clearly saw you
stopped
in an unguarded moment
i really understood you

cheering on the garish floats
laughing at the queeny show boats
it's just all fun
it's just all fun

dykes on bikes laissez faire
city streets alive with bears
it's just all fun
it's just all fun
Track Name: Things Left Behind In Dreams
i work in lost and found for things
left behind in dreams
that steering wheel, those fallen out teeth-
they come to me
your clothes that vanished...

we get all of that here
we catalog your fear

you lost your balance now it's with me
and now you're falling free
next stop the ground

that lesson plan for your final exam-
it's in my hand
Stressed back at school

if you were to analyze
all of the things I've got here
you would sorely realize
we're all as average as the hills
if you were to analyze
all of the things I've got here
you would sorely realize
we're all the same just like our pills

we get all of that here / we catalog your fear...
it's the same themes / in our fever dreams...
Track Name: Pinwheels Shooting Sparks
hey-hey

pinwheels shooting sparks
young cousins in the dark, dark
try leaving with out marks, marks, marks
hey-hey

fourth of July
family's downstairs out of sight
we get real deep
up inside my room

pinwheels shooting sparks
young cousins in the dark, dark
try leaving with out marks, marks, marks
hey-hey

now we're along
all they warned us falls away
we're that firework
lighting up your room
Track Name: Your Hate Is Adorable
they say everyone will let you down in time
they say that's life
for every stab I wish I had a dime
when my heart took the knife

your hate
is adorable
with pouting lip
there's not contempt at all
your act
of anger fails
to hide your want
it's so thinly veiled

they say good intentions often go awry
they say that's so
i'm tired of repeating, when you say goodbye,
the saddest works - don't go

your hate
is adorable
with pouting lip
there's not contempt at all
your act
of anger fails
to hide your want
it's so thinly veiled
