'69: Judy Garland - The Magnetic Fields

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
