about

Bitter-sweet but funny song by David W Solomons on the position of an asexual in a hypersexualised world.
Composed in my head as I walked back from the New Troubadours one evening.
The solution in the case of this singer-songwriter is music, much less messy all round, and more fruitful in my case!

lyrics

I went out this mornin' and what did I see,
a beautiful man was lookin' at me.
I say "Hey brother, you can look but don't touch,
'cos I ain't got what you need to satisfy your greed".
I got those asexual blues,
'cos none of us can choose,
those feelings just rise from the ooze,
and some us of got asexual blues.

I went out this evenin' as the sun went down,
a pretty young lady was beckoning me to town .
I said "Hey sister, you can look but don't touch,
'cos I ain't got what you need to satisfy your greed".
I got those asexual blues,
'cos none of us can choose,
those feelings just rise from the ooze,
and some us of got asexual blues.

I went out this evenin' out into the dark
and couples were smoochin' all over the park.
I said "Hey people, you're just showin' off,
'cos you've got what you need to satisfy your greed".
I got those asexual blues,
'cos none of us can choose,
those feelings just rise from the ooze,
and some us of got asexual blues.

I've come out this evening on the musical scene
to sing you the blues like you've never seen.
I say "Hey people, you can sing with me now,
'cos I have got what you need to satisfy your musical greed".
We got all sorts of sexual blues,
'cos none of us can choose,
those feelings just rise from the ooze,
and some us of got asexual blues.
