The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing - BRUNEL

Off their album "This may be the reason why THE MEN THAT WILL NOT BE BLAMED FOR NOTHING Cannot be killed by Conventional Weapons". Not so much "steampunk" as "punk songs about steam engines".

The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing - This House Is Not Haunted - creepy song, creepy video.

PS. What the 'eck is meant by "Homecoming Queen" ?
Very American that - high schools in the fall have a big celebration weekend with typically three main events all to generate "spirit" for the school - the events were a parade, a big dance and an American style football game between that high school and some other rival high school.

A popular male and female from the school would be declared Homecoming king and queen with full royal regalia. They would appear at the dance ( with a special dance honoring them) and game and generally there would be a float in the parade for them.I

Generally the student body votes for the homecoming king and queen. It's a popularity contest basically.

In my high school, Homecoming was where you went if you were tired of living; it was where the fat, slow, or just unpopular kids got ambushed and mown down. I never attended a single Homecoming event, I chose life instead...

Ditto. Teen drama that I was never interested in populated only, exclusively, by teens who felt they were the cool kids at the expense of all others.

I was one of the fat kids, so my life was a constant round of hiding or being patched up by the school nurse; I never attended any school events, I was enough of a target already that I didn't need to stick my head over the parapet and get hunted through the corridors. I'm not even in the yearbook; they blank-spaced me with a caption reading 'I'm fat'.
