"1,2,3 don't wanna talk to you 4, 5, 6 you can suck my dick. You won't get away with this on my watch I'll shout if from the rooftops I dress for me, not for you but blame is twisted, and backwards too. I wanna take back the night, I wanna take back the day. I wanna take back the right to feel okay. So I'll yell from my car window when I'm cruising past I'll be inappropriate then I'll drive off really fast Getting pretty old now I see you're getting pretty old now Sitting all alone now I hear you're sitting all alone now"

No more, no more I can't take this any more Release me, release me From this purgatory Yeah yeah yeah I'd rather swim alone In the deep with all the beautiful fishes, If you'd only left me In my cabin to weep, Left me be, But you disturbed a beast That won't go back to sleep... This ship has set sail But we weren't ready for this course, Please let me off board Please let me off board Please let me off board I'm sea sick, sick of this scene I'm sick sick of this scene, Just cut the damn rope And let me go, Let me sink Let me sink down down down down, Down down down... Yeah yeah yeah I'd rather swim alone In the deep with all the beautiful fishes, If you'd only left me In my cabin to weep, Left me be, But you disturbed a beast, That won't go back to sleep (She won't go back) No she won't go back to sleep She won't go back to sleep!

lizard skin i dress up in every now and then, he looks me in the eye speaks in riddles to the neighbors i’m giving up again my feelings are pretend and he’s afraid of the dark do do do do do do do and he said “i’m sick of digging holes, can’t we play dead once more? air out our lungs and leave them in the shade the doctors only know my bones, not the stuff in between they’ll never notice a thing.” do do do do do do do empty your pockets of lost change they’ll eat it right up the walls don’t just stare back, they suck you into their abyss so when the girls in white come by, just sit up straight or they’ll be back at night home is where the heart is, where the heart stops beating your heart stops beating the cold won’t give in today clock strikes it’s running late faces i’ve missed over years of estrangement sit on the porch and stare at the yellow armchair like it’s still saturday do do do do do do do

about

Independent feminist record label, Got Its Records, are proud to present the first ever release on the label, entitled '#gotits Volume 1.

The free compilation album consists of contributing artists who are pro-feminist and feel that the message of feminism needs to be heard.


Hi. I'm Cat and Got Its Records is my label. I come from a music background and work within the music industry. One day I thought 'Hey, why don't I set up my own record label that has an ethos that means something to me?'. And so I did.


Why is feminism is important to me?

1. Because, when I was growing up, I was always a tomboy and thought being boy-like meant that you were strong and girls were weak and needed to be taken care of. I though if you looked or acted feminine it meant you were weak.

What I now know: Strength and weakness is not gender specific. You can wear a floral dress and be an MMA fighter.

2. Because sexism still exists and, even now, I still experience it almost daily. If it's some man who thinks he has the right to say out loud 'Hello gorgeous' or 'hi sweetie', or people making sexist jokes but labelling as 'banter'. This is not okay. I want to go about my daily life without the fear of being harassed.

3. Because, apparently, girls shouldn't go out alone late at night. NO! We can do what the hell we want and not have to worry about getting raped or attacked.

4. Feminism is gender neutral. Many of my male friends are feminists and are baffled by the way women are still treated

5. I don't want to be judged on my body and looks, I want to be judged on my skill set and what I can deliver. Women, especially in the media, are always judge on how they look, what they're wearing and are completely criticised for how their bodes are. No one should tell us what we should look like. I have a brain.

This list could go on, but the most important thing I want this label to do is encourage others and tell them they can do what they want. I want to show them that they have the confidence to do something that matters to them, just like I have.


Thank you for reading, and remember #gotits
