It’s nothing personal, it’s just drag. “Nice Boys” is an exploration into the beauty of queerness 🌈 connection 💖 disconnection 🙅 and timeless desires.
This song was inspired by the documentary “100 Men” which reflects on 40 years of queer history. In the documentary filmmaker, Oremland, reads out a classified ad from an old, 1980’s newspaper: “One nice boy wants another nice boy, to go to bed with and do everything else with.” This became the central motif for this song.
Blended through the past and present, “Nice Boys” forms an audio and video collage expressing the bittersweet sentiment behind the search for “one nice boy.”

Nice Boys Lyrics
Verse 1
He has no lipstick on, donʼt ask me why...
I remember the feeling, all those nights before
Weʼre travellers bound by, the love of our form
I missed something here, it seems like, youʼre in a bit of a mood
But I donʼt know why, when he wants me around, Iʼll be around
When he says come, Iʼll come...
Chorus
One nice boy, wants another nice boy
to go to bed with, and do everything else with (x3)
Verse 2
Weʼre moving at different speeds,
Iʼm a queen, Iʼm a DIVA
Itʼs not real, but letʼs be real,
This is not Paris city
Wrapped in silence, I gathered you every bit of strength I had
Pursed lips, I donʼt know what your asking for
help or for forgiveness...
Are you into last resorts, we need a revolution, of NICE BOYS...
Chorus
One nice boy, wants another nice boy
to go to bed with, and do everything else with (x3)
verse 3
Your gaze is so gentle
hair so fair on your cheek thereʼs a dimple
your breeze, itʼs so simple, makes me feel mental Iʼve got intentions
Purity is a rental, green as Iʼm into
Iʼve got soft tissue
over for lentil, quickly turns into,
love in the rental
Verse 4
He has no lipstick on, donʼt ask me why
I remember the feeling, all those nights before
weʼre travellers bound by, the love of our form...
Chorus
One nice boy, wants another nice boy
to go to bed with, and do everything else with (x3)

Seems a little quiet over here
