SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - Mi sono sempre ritenuto piuttosto esperto in materia di musica country (nonché di omosessualità), ma devo ammettere che, sebbene avessi già sentito nominare in passato i Lavender Country, non avevo mai ascoltato finora il loro omonimo (e frocissimo) album, pubblicato ormai ben quarantanove anni fa grazie all'aiuto dell'associazione Gay Community Social Services of Seattle. Il disco, di fatto, è il primo album country gay della storia: sì, lo so che può sembrare un ossimoro, visto che il country ispira solitamente idee di machismo, tradizionalismo, ecc., ma Patrick Haggerty, a quanto pare, aveva un sogno, e il suo sogno era di riportare un po' di sana omosessualità nel country. Beh, dopo che avete finito con l'ascolto del disco già linkato sopra, vi consiglio di riascoltarvi il magnifico inno gay Cryin' these cocksucking tears finché non ne avrete mandato tutto il testo a memoria.
I'm fighting for when there wont be no straight men
Because you all have a common disease
Can't hear very much for loving and such
But you take it where ever you please
Your half the story you tell me the glory
As Galahads gallop is near
But your lies cant deceive me
I know that you'll leave me
Crying these cock sucking tears
But now you have guessed
That I'm not to impressed with your talents as an engineer
You build up your steeple and you rivet more people
To keep it erect in the air
Its seems you've forgotten your daydreams are rotten
Your ways are alarmingly clear
Them victories aren't wanted as long as I'm haunted were crying these cock sucking tears
Them victories ain't wanted as long as Im haunted with crying these cock sucking tears Sharing and caring is it quite daring
To doubt a stiff such as you
Spread your pollen about then you bug out
When there's railing and wailing to do
How long you been thinking that your shit ain't stinking
Well mamas done wiping your rear
Well you made it all right sir but i wont spend my life sir crying these cock sucking tears Looks like your enjoyment when on unemployment
There you are with your rows begging you
So you lost all your magic you think that its tragic
But no one will come crying for you
Well your sex is a broken record record record been screeching for ten thousand years
And battles begun sir i tell you im done sir crying these cock sucking tears
Ballets begun sir i tell you im all done sir crying these cock sucking tears
