You woke up
i like you
you're nice.
this one here? yeah she's a keeper.
It's you
It was always you
who even told you these things about yourself?
they were dead wrong
i like you
you're nice
We don't have to stay here you know
we found an escape route last night
don't you remember?
It's ok.
Hold onto my hand
we'll find it again.

you're lava in the shape of a girl
I saw you cruise down that mountain side
flames rising
from the windows
of the police station
as you pass
Jayne Mansfield
singing just too hot to handle
too hot to touch
or can we touch
you're too hot to handle
you're lava
in the shape
of a girl
softening and scorching
making new land
you're islands
rising out of
the boiling sea
salt and steam
we could touch
i could melt in those arms
those reaching arms
or blister and sizzle
my soft bits charred
do you want to hear a secret
i am lava too
lava in the shape of a girl.
Islands in the steam
baby islands in the steam
that is what we are

It's running at 140
the person behind you
breathing down your neck.
there are dumb kisses
snagged on your collar.
everyone can see them
and read them like a
nursery rhyme language.
you don't care
to know the fantasies
of your fellow passengers.
the person undressing you
with their eyes
can keep their discoveries
to themselves.
you're not interested
in whats under your clothes.
that's why you got dressed.
Come on baby
find that easy way out
you're so close
reach in your pocket
find that key and
run like the fucking wind
No stops left.
this is it.
only joking,
we can keep going.
this is a circle line.
a ring.
nah it's a spiral,
and we're not stopping.
onwards and onwards,
until we drive
this cute little star
into that black hole.
you know the one.
you know it all too well.

Here is my new EP, titled "judy is working really hard to make this happen but sometimes needs a nap and that’s ok."
It has three original songs and one cover
1. Being quietly gay because these rocks are witch-finders under a sleeping hex
2. Lava in the Shape of a Girl
3. Lilith (Faith Eliott cover)
4. Confronted by Desire not Truth
You can buy Faith's incredible album here:

These recordings are some of the first vocal recordings I have made since starting hormones. Feminizing hormones tend not to affect a voice that has gone through a masculinising (or cursed) puberty. These songs mark an effort to relocate myself within my voice. Mostly spoken, they are a first step.
The cover depicts the medal given to the Cowardly Lion in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz.
It's released under the name Ignatz Höch & Hannah Mouse. I took the name Ignatz Höch in 2006 as an amalgam of dadaist hero Hannah Höch and the cartoon mouse Ignatz from the comic strip Krazy Kat. Now the inversion exists in combination with the original.
Thanks so much to Eclat Crew. This EP wouldn't be what it is without their support.
