Junkyard Queen
A 1970s punk rock anthem with strong Oi influences, raw and aggressive energy, and a vintage analogue sound. Beautiful piano intro, then driving distorted guitars, pounding bass, and hard-hitting drums with a loose, live feel. Sung with raspy, powerful female vocals full of attitude and grit. Anthemic, with gang-style backing shouts in the chorus. Overall vibe: DIY, underground, sweaty club energy, like a rallying cry for outsiders.

Lyrics
Verse
Freeganism and dumpster-diving
My favourite pastime activities
I bow to neither czar nor king
I declare myself totally free
Chorus
I am the junkyard queen (woah-oh)
My throne is an old car seat
I am the junkyard queen (woah-oh)
I own nothing but won't admit defeat
Verse
D.I.Y, I build my world
from leftover scraps of society
I find my treasures among the dirt
I declare myself totally free
Chorus
I am the junkyard queen (woah-oh)
My throne is an old car seat
I am the junkyard queen (woah-oh)
I own nothing but won't admit defeat
Bridge
Junkyard queen! Junkyard queen! (Woah-oh-oh)
Junkyard queen! Junkyard queen! (Woah-oh-oh)
Junkyard queen! Junkyard queen! (Woah-oh-oh)
Woah!
Chorus
I am the junkyard queen (yes, she is!)
My throne is an old car seat
I am the junkyard queen (fuck yeah!)
I own nothing but won't admit defeat
Chorus
I am the junkyard queen (woah-oh)
My throne is an old car seat
I am the junkyard queen (woah-oh)
I own nothing but won't admit defeat
Won't admit defeat!
