Songs that can relate to crossdressing

[Sarah-RT]

Two songs of late that I have discovered that relate to crossdressing.

The First one is King for a day by greenday.
The main lyric is ''King for a day, Princess by dawn'' - apparently the band have a thing for crossdressing.

The second is resistance by Muse. Not a crossdressing song but the opening lyrics some up some of our common fears im sure:

'' Is your Secret Safe Tonight and are we out of sight?
Or will our world come tumbling down?
Will They Find Our hiding Place?...''

Youtube the songs or google the full lyrics, just was listening intently to those two while on itunes and here, funny revelation

check out george michael's freedom 90's

Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
To win the race? A prettier face!
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV
But today the way I play the game is not the same
No way
Think I'm gonna get myself happy

I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I told you so
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone else I've got to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

[BiancaEstrella]

I love Muse, and had never thought of that particular lyric that way. Here's a quote from Matt Bellamy:



"This song started off as an extension of 'Map of the Problematique' with a bit of influence from early 'The Police'. It is very much based on the book '1984' by George Orwell particularly the romance between Winston and Julia and the description of the act of sex and love as something political, the only place offering freedom from Big Brother. The song is also about any love which crosses boundaries such as religion or strong political beliefs and the subsequent recognition of the unimportance and divisiveness of such beliefs."



I suppose the bolded text could apply to us as well

[Sarah-RT]

Yeah thats true, those very broad open kind of quotes are open to interpretation.

one i always think of is not about dressing at all
its about addiction..but has parallels to how i always felt


"feeling alright" by traffic

seems i've got have a change of scene
because every nite its the strangest dream
imprisoned by the way it could have been
left here on my own or so it seems
i've got to leave before i start to scream
but someone's locked the door and took the key..

You feeling alright?
I'm not feeling too good myself





Heh

i'm not sure but somehow that quote pretty much sums up many years for me...and of course the someone with the key was me!!! i'm feeling very metaphysical tonite

[Sarah-RT]

Kaitlyn, as much as I love songs focused on crossdressers cos it means someone is thinking of us heh but songs that mean alot to an individual that remind them of CDing are great, your example is the text book example

[JainaCarpaccio]

probably applicable to anyone who's unsure of their position, but Matchbox 20's "Unwell" fits the bill rather nicely i think. I've bolded the sections that seem to stand out in particular to me.


All day
Staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
I don't know why
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Me
Talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be, yeah
Well I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be

Bluegirls come in every size
Some are wise and some otherwise,
They got pretty blue eyes.
For an hour a man may change
For an hour her face looks strange -
Looks strange, looks strange.


Very beautiful melody.

I'll have to listen to some that you all have posted.

Sarah I have always been a huge music fan and love to hear the lyrics.. i enjoy elvis costello alot because of this..

I like those phil collins lyrics....

i thought of one called arnold layne by pink floyd many years ago..thats an example of one where there is no question what its about.

The Beatles - 'Get Back' Verse two opens with 'Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman, but she was another man'. quoted from http://www.trans-mission.org/music/top_tranny_tunes.php

[kellycan27]

Not really a cding song, but I listened to this song along the way... and still do. "Low Spark of High heeled Boys" by Traffic.

[Danielle Austin]

I suspect it's too obvious to even post......
Madonna, "What it feels like for a girl".

"[Spoken:]
Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
'Cause it's OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you'd love to know what it's like
Wouldn't you
What it feels like for a girl

Silky smooth
Lips as sweet as candy, baby
Tight blue jeans
Skin that shows in patches

Strong inside but you don't know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak

Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
For a girl

Hair that twirls on finger tips so gently, baby
Hands that rest on jutting hips repenting

Hurt that's not supposed to show
And tears that fall when no one knows
When you're trying hard to be your best
Could you be a little less

Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
What it feels like for a girl

Strong inside but you don't know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak

Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
For a girl

In this world
Do you know
Do you know
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
What it feels like in this world "

[Diane Elizabeth]

The most obvious one that comes to my mind is Lou Reed's "Walk On The Wild Side"

[jessica renee]

One song that I like is "Land of Confusion" by Genesis, later rerecorded by Disturbed. I know it's not a "girly" song but it's lyrics speak to me.

[Nicole Erin]

I think "Peaches" by The presidents of the united states of america is a good one...

Strange? Well just think he says "peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man in a factory downtown"
But what he REALLY means is that man that put the peaches in a can was probably wearing a bra and pantyhose under his work clothes and was posting about it on some crossdresser forum about how naughty he felt.
What was also not mentioned in the song was how he got called into the bosses office and his pant leg raised a bit and he thinks the boss saw his pantyhosed ankle.

Placebo - Lady of the Flowers

'Scuse me, I apologize
he likes your attitude, he tries it on for size
he spends the afternoon, between your thighs
how's that for gratitude, I apologize.

It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
and her hypnotic gaze.

'Scuse me, I apologize
she's got vacum cleaner eyes
suck you in
she's got magazines, filled with hair pies
'scuse me, I apologize

It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
and her hypnotic gaze.

She wears her tears on her blouse
confused and racked with self-doubt
she stole the keys to my house
and then she locked herself out.

'Scuse me, I apologize
he likes your attitude, he tries it on for size
he spends the afternoon, between your thighs
how's that for gratitude, I apologize.

It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
her electronic haze.

She wears her tears on her blouse
confused and racked with self-doubt
she stole the keys to my house
and then she locked herself out.

She stole the keys to my house
and then she locked herself out.

She lays me down
she lays me.

Lola not sure who it is by

Ray Davies, the Kinks, wow really showing my age with that!

[Imogen_Mann]

Another one from Placebo. this time 'Nancy boy'


Alcoholic kind of mood
lose my clothes, lose my lube
cruising for a piece of fun
looking out for number one
different partner every night
so narcotic outta sight
what a gas, what a beautiful ass.

And it all breaks down at the role reversal,
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me, me.
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me, me

Kind of buzz that lasts for days
had some help from insect ways
comes across all shy and coy
just another nancy boy.
Woman man or modern monkey
just another happy junkie
fifty pounds, press my button
going down.

And it all breaks down at the role reversal
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me, me.
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me, me.

Does his makeup in his room
douse himself with cheap perfume
eyeholes in a paper bag
greatest lay I ever had
kind of guy who mates for life
gotta help him find a wife
we're a couple, when our bodies double.

And it all breaks down at the role reversal
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me, me.
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me, me.

And it all breaks down at the role reversal,
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me, me.
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me, me.

I always felt that the song "You need me" by Mariah Carey in her debut album was about the inner self stating that to the outer self. I really related to the lyrics of that song.

[Samantha Kelsey]

Shirley Bassey does two which have been associated with gays for some time but equally fit CD's "This is my life" & "I am what I am"
I recently heard a song from the UK's Susan Boyle which fits the non closeted CD, "Who I was born to be"

When I was a child, I could see the wind in the trees
And I heard a song in the breeze, It was there, singing out my name

But I am not a girl, I have known the taste of defeat
And I've finally grown to believe, It will all came around again

And though I may not know the answers, I can finally say I am free
And if the questions led me here, Then, I am who I was born to be

And so here am I, Open arms and ready to stand
I've got the world in my hands, And it feels like my turn to fly

When I was a child, There were flowers that bloomed in the night
Unafraid to take in the light, Unashamed to have braved the dark

Though I may not know the answers, I can finally say I am free
And if the questions led me here, Then I am who I was born to be.

Also there is Secret Love by Kathy Kirby which fits the fully out CD.
I use it in my signature below.
Sam.

Here's a few which come to mind:

"Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie (the cover of this song by Dead or Alive is also really good).

"Nucleopatra" by Dead or Alive.

[rachellegsep]

This one really speaks to me - not so obvious

Isis by the Goo Goo Dolls

I don't want the world to see me
I don't think that they'd understand
Everthings made to be broken
But I want you to know who I am, yes I want you to know who I am.

[Bethany_Anne_Fae]

Cherry Lips by Garbage.

Awesome song with us in mind

Zarabeth

[Mi$$ Despair]

Kill Miss America by the Murder Dolls (This is kinda my theme song lol)

I wanna be a ****ing prize winning drag queen
With the platform boots and the tombstone looks
I want the whole world to hate me
With the bolts on my neck and the gun in my dress

Tonight I’m the prettiest zombie alive
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
And I don’t care what it takes I’m gonna win the prize

I’m gonna kill Miss America
Kill Miss America
Kill Miss America
Kill Miss America, yeah, yeah, yeah

I want you to spit when you see me
And if you don’t I’m gonna spit on you
I love it when they hate me
And when I win I’m gonna rub it in

Tonight I’m the prettiest zombie alive
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
And I don’t care what it takes I’m gonna win the prize

I’m gonna kill Miss America
Kill Miss America
Kill Miss America
Kill Miss America, yeah, yeah, yeah

I got murder on my mind
Ten seconds till death tonight
Mama’s little baby’s gonna die, die, die
I’ll cut her throat and take what’s mine

(insert scream here)

I’m gonna kill Miss America
Kill Miss America
Kill Miss America
Kill Miss America
I’m gonna kill miss America
I’m gonna kill miss America
I’m gonna kill miss America
I’m gonna kill miss America, America
Kill, kill, kill miss America
