Glad To Be Gay '87 Lyrics

The British Police are the best in the world
I don't believe one of these stories I've heard
About pretty policemen in leather and jeans
Showing their leg through a split in the seams
Leering at people and leading them on
Then running them in when they start to respond
The press all ignore it, they don't want to see
Except when the case is... a Tory MP

Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy that way

Pictures of naked young women are best
In the News of the Screws and the popular press
They plaster their pages with bingo and tits
Then add all the scandal and slander that fits
The women at Greenham they smeared and despised
They crucified Elton with sneering and lies
If it's paedophile teachers or lesbian nuns
If it's filth and it's fiction... it's all there in the Sun

Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy that way

And now there's a cancer to blame on the gaysTom Robinson Band - Glad To Be Gay '87 - http://motolyrics.com/tom-robinson-band/glad-to-be-gay-87-lyrics.html
That's brutal and fatal and slowly invades
The moral majority like a lot
Cos it's the wages of sin and the Judgement of God
The medics are baffled and caught on the run
They say it's a nightmare has barely begun
While government spending is barely a joke
Cos saving our lives doesn't... win any votes

Sing if you're glad to be gay
Sing if you're happy that way

And sit back and watch as they cease all our books
And treat us like leopards and sinners and crooks
Just hope you don't get caught up in the raids
Or pick up a pig or a partner with aids
Lie to your workmates and lie to your folks
Put down the clones and tell lesbian jokes
Forget the impression from everywhere else
While we still do a wonderful job oppressing ourselves

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 this way
