about

One of the final songs we wrote with our pre-pandemic lineup; Footloose comes out the gate swinging with jagged guitar riffs and provocative vocal lines that make you want to dance! Much like the 80s movie which is it's namesake, it pushes back against modern conservatism, and champions a spirit of freedom, celebration, and fancy footwork. Sharp-eared listeners will notice a direct reference to the Kevin Bacon classic. Cheers!

lyrics

I wanna fuck! I wanna die! I wanna live a hermetic lifestyle; I wanna do everything at the same fucking time! I want femmes and themmes to the front of the line; I like boys that bawl and blemish. Magazine varnish front cover's a prison, but spit sheen finish? What a lovely vision!

(You snooze, you lose! You wanna stifle my groove, but I've got too much to prove. You made your deathbed. I'm counting down your ailing days; I'll cut footloose above your grave.)

One busy-body's not enough. Get the whole hive humming into overdrive. Grab your gravel salve if you're so tough. Oh yeah baby I like it rough. From lecherous leeches, their serpentine speeches. Fatuous fathers that can't be bothered to tuck you in, but pass off sin with egg on their chin. A swing and a miss!

(Chorus)

Footloose quote
You wore through your shoes to prove you can shake and move those blue suede faster than the prom queen. Baby, c'mon.
