From the recording All Us On Fire
Lyrics
No-One’s Asking
I see you stare
Can feel your glare
It’s like you’re always. Just. There.
Please get out my space
Please get out my face
I’m not an object for your gaze
My fist, these keys
You got me feelin’ so uneasy
Let me be
I hate, (that) you take, up so much of my space
You choose to invade
Oh and no matter what you think about that
I’m not required to tolerate your chat
No matter what you think about that
What you think about that?
No matter what you think about that
I’m not required to tolerate your chat
No matter what you think about that
No-one’s asking (No-one, no-one)
No-one’s asking (No-one, no-one)
No-one’s asking (No-one, no-one)
No-one’s asking (No-one, no-one)
I’m walking home
I take it at a pace
So tired of competing in this human race
What does it take
For me to take my place
At the table of plenty
No back to yours for an empty
I’m not interested in your patter, pack it in
My opinion matters
As does my peace, and my life
My right to walk alone on Friday nights
Without threat of interruption
Without question, or blame, for me to get it right?
The slow car stopping
The “didn’t mean to startle yeh but…”
Aye ya did!
Big man ain’t ya out scaring us
We fear the worst ‘cos yeah it happens
Police are killing women, how can we think we matter
When half the population can’t be out safe at night
What makes you even think that we should listen to your shite
So catch yourself on with your ‘banter’ and your ‘fun’
I don’t want my kids to wake up to… no momma coming home
No matter what you think about that
I’m not required to tolerate your chat
No matter what you think about that
Oh no no, no matter what you think about that
I’m not required to tolerate your chat
No matter what you think about that
What you think about that
What you think about that?
No-one’s asking (No-one, no-one)
No-one’s asking (No-one, no-one)
No-one’s asking (No-one, no-one)
No-one’s asking (No-one, no-one)
