Stephin Merritt - '69: Judy Garland lyrics

The first brick the drag king threw To draw blood from the boys in blue Said "Here lies Judy Garland" on it It flew through historic air Even Taylor Mead was there And Allen Ginsberg wrote a sonnet One day after the funeral Stones flew over the Stonewall Judy Garland Halfway through her tell-all memoirs Who flew up into the stars? Judy Garland Judy Garland set us free We tried to drive to Woodstock but Our little blue bug couldn't cut Through that last hundred miles of traffic Love still dared not to speak In l'année érotique "Je t'aime" was banned as p**nographic So put those feather boas on Drink too much wine And celebrate the revolution Of '69 Cause life-sized life never was enough Who called reality's bluff? Judy Garland Patron saint, or victim of love? Let's try "none of the above" Judy Garland Judy Garland set us free Some say its a coincidence No relation As if she didn't die for us Her love nation Halfway through 1969 Who joined Heaven's conga line? Judy Garland Sick and tired of being alive She flew back to Rigel V Judy Garland Judy Garland set us free Judy Garland set us free Judy Garland set us free So be free with me Judy Garland set us free Judy Garland set us free Judy Garland set us free So be free with me
