00:13hillbrow south africa 1980 look at this line evening darlings the queens have arrived in
00:19hillbrow you could be who you wanted for one night the disco was the only place we didn't
00:25have to look over our shoulder under the red neon the only place in the city where we could
00:29still breathe long queues of men in leather and silk drag queens in feathers and heels laughing
00:36like the night belonged to them before stonewall had a name here we had hillbrow that raid didn't
00:44end us it started us inside the mirror ball spinning bodies pressed tight sweat and smoke and forbidden
00:51music for a few hours every night the law the police the whole damn country didn't exist
00:58this was ours they thought if they shone the light on us we'd run but we linked arms we
01:06were one that was the first time we didn't
01:09you
