Boughs bend where the sun is shining
I am the same way
Find me green beneath the limelight
taking the strangest shapes
I have carved my name on every stage where my idols stepped
I have known the pain of waiting for my moment
So I won't apologize
I won't apologize
For wanting your eyes on me
Your attention, please
Tough crowd or a sea of roses
I still stare back
I am no reclining Venus
I want to interact
And for every guy who thought I'd die without his bland suggestion
To be less or more or something for his dubious affection
Well, I won't apologize
I won't apologize
for chewing the scenery
Your attention, please
Your attention, please
I won't beg for it
I was made for it
Your attention, please
I can give it as good as I can get it
Most nights I take my seat
In the dark
But, shade is not the killer of dreams
There is life between the vision and me
Spots of sun caught beneath my lashes
Still, I'd be lying if I didn't concede
How good it feels when you're here with me
So, I won't apologize
I won't apologize
For wanting you to see
This tree for the forest
One small voice for the chorus
No more being modest
I'll tell you what I need
Your attention, please
Your attention, pleaser

I love this album because of the generosity of all who participated in making it-- using art to give legal aid to the children the US has separated from their families. Their action makes each song on the album a quiet anthem to the right of a child to sleep safely through the night. Jayme Adelson Goldstein
Surrealist psych-pop from Bugs Bobby that, through its delicate layers and gluey tempos, suggests a place beyond time. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 2, 2022
