Testo Glad To Be Gay - Tom Robinson Band

Testo della canzone Glad To Be Gay (Tom Robinson Band), tratta dall'album Rising Free - The Very Best of TRB

The British police are the best in the world

I don't believe one of these stories I've heard

About them raiding our pubs for no reason at all

Lining the customers up by the wall

Picking out people, knocking them down

Resisting arrest as they're kicked on the ground

Searching their houses, calling them queer

I don't believe that sort of thing happens here

Sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way

Hey, sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way

Pictures of naked young women have fun

In tidbits of Playboy, page three of the Sun

There's no nudes in Gay News or One Magazine

But they still found excuses to call it obscene

Read how disgusting we are in the press

The Telegraph, People and Sunday Express

Molestors of children, corruptors of youth

It's there in the paper, it must be the truth

Try and sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way

Hey, sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way

Don't try to kid us that if you're discreet

You're perfectly safe as you walk down the street

You don't have to mince or make bitchy remarks

To get beaten unconscious and left in the dark

I had a friend who was gentle and short

He was lonely one evening, he went for a walk

Queer bashers caught him, kicked in his teeth

He was only hospitalised for a week

And he still bears the scars

Sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way

Hey, sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way

And sit back and watch as they close down our clubs

Arrest us for meeting and raid all our pubs

Make sure your boyfriend's at least twenty-one

So only your friends and your brothers get done

Lie to your workmates, lie to your folks

Put down the queens, tell anti-queer jokes

Gay lives ridiculous, join their laughter

The buggers are legal now, what more are they after?

Tell them

Sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way

Hey, sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way

Sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy that way

Hey, sing if you're glad to be gay

Sing if you're happy this way
