Name: To Russia With Gloves
Duration: P00H03M12S
Description: “In Russia the state is not supportive or tolerant of homosexuality or transgender people. I wanted to talk about this horrible situation in a song and I had the idea that it would be cool to have a transgender goalkeeper who is in his national side which had qualified for the World Cup Finals in Russia. I thought that would be an interesting scenario.”

lyrics

I’ve always been tall, I could always catch a ball and I like dressing up so…
They put me in goal, I was a plate-handed beanpole
But I was different in an altogether bigger way though

I kept on growing and I started to change
Something in me was feeling increasingly strange
The man in the mirror asked me how long he must keep his secret safe

(So I told him)
She’ll be out when she’s ready
She’ll be out when she’s ready
I’m not going to rush her
I’m not going to rush her

She’ll be out when she’s ready
When her heartbeat’s steady
I’m not going to rush her
I’m not going to rush her

Putin paid a load to host the World Cup
Everybody knows it’s completely corrupt
Didn’t Blatter go to jail? Did they do the bids again?
Shut up, give us your cash, just watch the game

I’m lucky enough that the country I’m from is pluralistic and tolerant (relatively speaking)
My friends and relations and state legislation are supportive and protective

I’m the captain of my country, my transition’s underway
I love this game but I’m proud to say there’s no way I will play
For the pleasure of a homophobic murderous head of a totalitarian state

(That’s why I’m saying)
She’ll be out when she’s ready
She’ll be out when she’s ready
I’m not going to rush her
I’m not going to rush her

She’ll be out when she’s ready
When her heartbeat’s steady
I’m not going to rush her
I’m not going to rush her

We all know the score
Shut the front door
I’m not going to Russia
I’m not going to Russia
