Ghostly Love
04:10
|
|||
|
Years and years of being dead
Sure can get inside your head
You don’t know exactly where you’ve been…
In and out of ghostly love
Floating candles up above
Never tell you how or why or when…
Chorus:
But/And when you’re a ghost, you think you’ve seen it all
From love so obscure to the writing on the wall
And when you’ve seen love for hundreds of years
You know it has no boundaries or fears…
Peeves the poltergeist is pan
Moaning Myrtle wants your man
But she will go for your girlfriend too
Cuthbert Binns is aero ace
The Wailing Widow needs her space
To grieve the wife she lost in ‘82
Chorus
Nearly Headless Nick is gay
He has always been that way
Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore was his crush
The Bloody Baron’s demi
He wanted the Grey Lady
But she doesn’t really like men much…
Chorus
You may know, in Hufflepuff
Their ghost sure does know his stuff
He was trans in life, and now in death
The Fat Friar has it all
Friends and family, beck and call
Happy ever since his last breath
Chorus

Norberta

Hagrid saved me from a man in a pub
He warmed up my egg and filled it with love
As soon as I hatched I called him my mom
In his small cabin I grew big and strong
He had called me Norbert but I know it's not his fault
He could not have known while he fed me single malt
That I was a trans girl, but Charlie let him know
Once he saw the parts of me I didn't want to grow
Horns on my head as big and thick as trees
Spikes along my tail, as sharp as they can be
Colorful scales to help attract a mate
But I figured something out before it was too late
I'm a magic dragon, and magic fills my veins
I could change my looks, for magic has its ways
So I became darker, my spikes retracted down
The horns that were upon my head no longer were around
I am a trans dragon, and beautiful I am
I cannot be tamed by any beast or any man
I'm living in Romania with others just like me
I love being a dragon and I love being free.
(repeat last 2 verses)
I love being a dragon and I love being free.
I love being a dragon and I love... being... free.

Go
01:56
|
|||
|
I don’t want to leave you
Because where would you go?
Get on board this smoking train
And take it where? You know?
Tunnel into darkness
Or go into the light
Just not to the marble tomb
You lie within, all right?
Chorus
I met you for one last time
In a bare King’s Cross
Before your last adventure
Became my greatest loss
I guess that what I’m saying is:
If you have to, go
But I will miss you, Dumbledore
More than you will know
Go to somewhere warm and clean
A beach with swaying trees
Feel the breeze upon your face
Enjoy it for me, please
Death is just a friend to you
A friend with open arms
A friend who took away your life,
Your wand, and all its charms
Chorus

Respectable Spectacles
02:09
|
|||
|
Madam Malkin sells you robes of every shape and size
If you ask faer nicely, fae’ll give you a surprise
Special glasses that reveal pronouns near and far
Simply look at someone to see what their pronouns are
Chorus:
Walk down Diagon Alley and take a look around
Getting people’s pronouns right will always make them proud
Bring some joy into their life and make somebody’s day
These respectable spectacles will help you find your way
Good old Florean Fortescue uses xey and xem
Borgin, Burke, and Scrivenshaft all use they and them
Madam Puddifoot wants you to use Madam’s name
Twilfitt and Tatting use anything
Chorus
Dr. Ubbly uses none, and Tom’s are they and he
There goes Ernie Prang, who uses hir and ze
She and they are Ollivander’s, Millimant’s are too
Ey and em for Jimmy Peakes, per and pers for Coote
Chorus

Rewriting Your Story
03:57
|
|||
|
Chorus:
We’re rewriting your story
The story that you told us
I thought you’d be with me
We got kind of nervous
To see that your journey
With us has to end
We took your baton/story/power/Harry Potter
And we gave it to our friends
Bathilda Bagshot grew old with her wife,
Miranda Goshawk, they had quite the life
Writing their textbooks for students at school
Goshawk was funny, Bagshot was cool
Spellman formed a nonbinary club
Down the street at the local pub
Inigo Imago and Emeric Switch
Both preferred wizards over a witch
Chorus
Wilbert Slinkhard was intersex
And wrote the book on defending a hex
Rita Skeeter could bug you all day
About her new girlfriend she met just last May
Both Newt Scamander and Beedle the Bard
Were aro and ace, but not like the card
Chorus
Trimble and Jigger and Waffling and Spore
Were known as “The Famous Bisexual Four”
Cassandra Vablatsky was poly and pan
Old Xeno Lovegood was sure not a man
He was agender just like Pokeby
Vindictus Viridian was as bi as could be
Lestoat, Libatius Borage, and Stalk
Would take what they called “a genderfluid walk”
Chorus

Fantastic Creatures
01:56
|
|||
|
Gonna tell you something now
Bet you didn’t notice how
Every single creature is trans
Every single creature is queer
And if you don’t remember all the creatures
I have them as a list right here:
Ronan, Firenze, Mangorian, Bane
Buckbeak, Fawkes, Fluffy, Fang
Crookshanks, Mrs Norris, the Basilisk
Arnold the pygmypuff and Tenebrus
Dobby, Hokey, Kreacher, Winky-, Binky-
Errol, Hedwig, Pigwidgeon, Hermes
Gornuk, Griphook, Ragnuk the First
Bogrod, Morholt, Karkus
Fridwulfa and Ragnok
Golgomath, and Hagrid’s brother Grawp
Aragog and Mosag, both acromantulas
A thousand times bigger than tarantulas
The Ford Anglia and Sorting Hat
The Whomping Willow, imagine that
Trevor, Bungy, the Bandon Banshee
Wagga Wagga Werewolf and Nagini
These are the creatures of which I’ve made a list
All of them are LGBT, yes I insist
And if you think I’m incorrect in singing this song
All of these creatures will prove you wrong

Tired
03:16
|
|||
|
I grew up with the books and the bottles and the potions
Of clever crafted words and wands and weird emotions
Over this kid who I’d never met before
My dad read to me about his schooling and his war
Chorus:
Oh, I’m tired
Tired of you
Oh, my friends
Are tired of you too
Why can’t you just go to sleep
And give us all some rest
Yeah, I think that that would be
Simply for the best
The world isn’t split into Death Eaters and good people
But isn’t it ironic how you kind of turned out evil?
The author could have died and we all could have mourned
But now there is more work to do, more work to do, more
Chorus
I wish you hadn’t lived long enough to become the villain
What if you hadn’t shaped a generation of children?
You gave us what we needed, and then you gave us more
And as we choked it down we drowned, throats swollen and sore
Chorus
Tired friends have left us and others are still here
Sunken eyes and twisted hands and one more Butterbeer
Take your poison somewhere else and please leave us alone
We don’t need you anymore; we’re already home.

Falling
03:17
|
|||
|
Falling from the tower, your body hits the ground
The scream was bottled in my throat; I never made a sound
If you had been a feather, no harsher fall would land
You would still be sipping tea, held with your blackened hand
Chorus:
The screaming in my head gets worse with every passing day
But who is screaming - me or mom? It’s gotten hard to say
My hope is falling just like you, I cannot see the end
I need my mentor, teacher, father, most of all: my friend
You were the light that guided me, and now that light is gone
I clicked the deluminator that you gave to Ron
I have only lamp posts now to help me through my pain
But lamps and swords of Gryffindor aren’t quite the same
Chorus
In my dreams I see you fall from every point of view
I see it when I close my eyes, I know he sees it too
Every time I look at him, my vision blurred and red
His heart betraying nothing, it must be full of lead
Chorus

Sorted Queer
02:56
|
|||
|
Welcome to Hogwarts, now this Sorting Hat
It will divide you into this House or that
Based on your strengths, and your values too
Hufflepuff yellow or Ravenclaw blue
There is another the hat will reveal
Not shouting out, but personal, real
It tells your gender and sexuality
Just for the moment, for change can be key
Our Millicent Bullstrode’s a butch lesbian
Flirting with Pansy and Lisa Turpin
(Both have been dating for over a year -
All of their friends are equally queer)
From Summers and Stebbins to Florence and Moon
They will be starting an SGA soon
For Fawcett and Derek and Bradley to join
There is no need for a secretive coin
For Hogwarts will welcome you just as you are
The Sorting Hat always is raising the bar
For Chambers and Peakes, Poliakoff
For Eleanor Branstone and Malcolm Baddock
For Graham Montague and Bertam Aubrey
For Mary Macdonald and Olive Hornby
For queerness at Hogwarts goes back to the start
Be true to yourself and what’s in your heart
Let all these students be a lesson for you:
Open your heart, above all be true
True to yourself, and the Sorting Hat
It will confirm who you are, just like that.

Ogg's Boogie
03:00
|
|||
|
Back in the days of Mrs. Weasley
Nothing at Hogwarts came too easy
After classes she would mosey
Down to see the gamekeeper Ogg
Ogg would greet her with a cup of tea
They would chat about the Ministry
That’s where she met Arthur Weasley
Because of good old Ogg
Back when Hogsmeade had a pub
An LGBT-friendly club
It was quite a hoppin’ hub
And it was owned by Ogg
Ogg would glance around and say:
LGBTQIA!
Everyone would cheer Hooray!
For the great old Ogg
In the crowd was Apollyon Pringle
Elphias Doge, who was always single
Benjy Fenwick and Dedalus Diggle
They all loved good old Ogg
Gideon and Fabian Prewett
Both liked Kingsley and he knew it
Mad-Eye Moody saw right through it
They all admired Ogg
Now, this pub was for all ages
Different genders, colors, races
One of Hogsmeade’s safest spaces
All thanks to Ogg
That’s where Fletcher, Bones, and Dearborn
Fell in love with Sturgis Podmore
Vance and Meadows solemnly swore
To do no harm to Ogg
Ogg would sit down at the piano
Crack his fingers, and play a solo
Starting with a quick crescendo
Boogie time with Ogg:
(piano solo)
Everyone would soon be dancin’
Hestia Jones with Marlene McKinnon
Seemed like all the Order was in
The chateau de Ogg
Frank met Alice in that bar
The future Montagues weren’t that far
From falling in love, and that’s on par
With the spirit of good old Ogg
The best gamekeeper there ever was
Gamekeeper Ogg was second to none
Though Rubeus Hagrid might give him a run
But we loved dear old Ogg!
