Lyrics '69: Judy Garland - The Magnetic Fields

'69: Judy Garland

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 pornographic
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
