Queen Of All The Parliaments

by Friends of Cesar Romero

1.
Why do you want me Why do you haunt me Why do you treat me like you always do Why do you possess me Try to undress me And try to get me to get back with you Why do you hurt me Turn around desert me And always get me to buy you stupid things

A Better Who 01:11
It’s the same old tune Its the same bad news She’s a rainy day From a mile away It’s a better who It’s a dream come true Oh yeah Oh yeah A better who It’s the same old line Not a real nice time If you don't buy in Wouldn’t be a sin Moody blondes can be A lot like me Oh yeah Oh yeah A better who It’s the same old you It’s a better who

Kicking the eternal flame You want to do the same All the while you can't come down You lost it on the way Try and try to put it out Try and try to put it out Try and try to put it out Someday Fan the flame of lasting ire Resistance is to blame Reduce me to ashes you Fire walk this way Try and try to put it out Try and try to put it out Try and try to put it out Someday Kicking the eternal flame

Queen of all the Parliaments She comes up off the ground I was meant to thinking everyone could be found I was standing on the corner once looking just like you Grabbed me by the hand then she took me to the ground Taught how to trade my peasant dresses for a crown We were busy flying on a back of a bird we knew Let’s go Lets fly Lets leave the ground for the sky Let’s go Lets fly Let’s leave the ground For the sky
5.
Don’t say I’m in your way When you want to stay Pull under like a sleeper wave The little things you do Make me fall for you Yet is it just a ruse I predict you’re lonesome at first sight You’re always changing despite Don’t tell me that its fine When I know you’re lying Could I ease your busy mind I can’t hardly wait When you reciprocate My heat index radiates I predict you’re lonesome at first sight You’re always changing despite Tomorrows weather girl Cold fronts begin to twirl Tomorrows weather girl Tomorrows weather girl

Psych Triads 01:30
Don’t mix love with lonely Don't ask me to dig your pony Acid flashbacks at the VFW Sunspots do what they want to do I don’t like it anymore than you
7.
Jennifer echoes inside of me All I know is I cannot be free In awhile I’ll wait to talk to her In a bit I know I’ll run to her Every time I say the words not true And I know I will long for you I’ve got to run away to know that I belong I’ve got to run away to know that I belong I’ve got to run away to know that I belong I know that I can’t wait too long
8.
Pantheon Restroom Riots I don’t think I even buy it Shakin' like leafs on a tree Hurry hurry one two three You got a mother and sister too Shake it shake it like I know you want to do
9.
Bleach Tears 01:44
You think I’m waiting You thought I’d sit and cry Now I’m debating Just how you spun your lie Don’t cry me those bleach tears anymore You thought you had me But it’s all just in your mind I’m leaving gladly Your mess well designed
10.
Carrie carries on She was here but now she’s gone She came back just to rearrange A love that seemed far from strange You better move on You better move on Carrie carries on Carrie carries on Carrie carries on Carrie carries on
11.
Got an atheist mantis Have it on a leash Not sure where you want it Or what you believe Got an atheist mantis Glassy winged sharpshooter Testament insects Bombay locusts And all it infects Got an atheist mantis
12.
Baby’s lips weren’t quite as soft Now she’s on the runway taking off Remember me after the show And everywhere in postcards that you go I hope you’re lonely too I hope you’re lonely too I hope you’re lonely too I hope you’re lonely Always a time zone in between The spotlight and another scene It seems impossible right now I hope your heart won’t let me down I hope you’re lonely too I hope you’re lonely too I hope you’re lonely too I hope you’re lonely Outstretched arms to hold me Over the phone you told me Only have eyes for me Only have eyes for me
13.
Doomsday hotties They’re not for everybody But they can all be about me Party like its nineteen-ninety something Rage on you cute little bumpkin Doomsday hotties They’re not for everybody But they can all be about me Hiding out in your underground bunker Not making moves on any other Crazies Doomsday hotties They’re not for everybody But they can all be about me

Reviews:

It's a fat-free feast of punky powerful pop. How many other songwriters out there could do an odds-and-ends song dump like this and end up with one of the top 25 albums of the year? What a talent!
-Lord Rutledge/Faster and Louder

Queen Of All The Parliaments is another fine one, especially considering its made out of unused “song titles, unfinished voice memos ideas, shitty riffs” accumulated over the years, going back as far as 2011.
-Niek/Add to Wantlist

Queen of All the Parliaments likely won’t be the last chance to hop aboard the Friends of Cesar Romero train, but it’s hard to imagine a more inviting one.
-Rosy Overdrive

Queen Of All The Parliaments is solid collection of jangly garage-rock-stamped tunes but here we single out the relentlessly sibilant hooks of “Tomorrow’s Weather Girl.” This is movie-opener montage-worthy for sure.
