    Margaret Thatcher of the Lower East Side EP on limited edition Compact Disc

    "Candid, calculated and weighed by heavy contemplation on masculinity, creating a stunning and sensitive form of songwriting." -The Deli Mag

    "A dab of Hedwig and the Angry Inch with a dollop of Americana, all wrapped up in a ribbon of David Bowie...” - Cool Hunting

    Margaret Thatcher of the Lower East Side was produced by Seán Barna and Dave Drago (1809 Studios, Macedon, NY), with Tommy Sherrod (DC) and Kyle Joseph (NYC), and was mixed and mastered by Dave Drago at 1809 Studios.

lyrics

What does it mean to me?
What does it mean to me?
That I’m missing you

Sitting alone in a booth
Penning some thoughts for the room
Look at how they glow
I’ve got my hands too full with you

And I guess
Berlin stayed with me
So am I what you need?
Strung out and sleeping

It ain’t a weekend for me
Ain’t a weekend for me

I’m not Janis
And I’m not Lou Reed

Adderall keeps me alive
After a difficult night
I wrote a song for you

The poets have all been amused
But the poetry’s all been abused
This is New York now
The scene is all for show

But I guess
The city stayed with me
But am I what you need
Strung out and sleeping

It ain’t a weekend for me
It ain’t a weekend for me

And I thought we might travel
Instead we sleep it off
And we wake up alone

It ain’t a weekend for me
It ain’t a weekend for me
It ain’t a weekend for me
It ain’t a weekend for me

Thank you everybody for coming out tonight. I hope you’ve had a fabulous time, and that you’ve adjusted your tastes appropriately. I’ve always said it, you need to be a steely bitch to surive in this goddamn city. So to all of the boys and to all of the girls out there -- keep painting your fucking nails. Keep screaming. And never stop dancing. We have to go now, but remember: always wear purple to the party. Goodnight. I love you.
