young runaway
upstanding man
the spring you seek is not for them
to stroke his cheek
and thus repair the airhole/whore (?)
of his creator
you always complain no one's good
well here you are let them see
tommy and dan
you can't hold hands
down your street
who cares you're gay
but it's your age
no friend oh
a wretched life to sit through
his sister cries "you'll go to hell"
you're unsure if he's legal
it's more
tommy and dan
you can't hold hands
down your street
who cares you're gay
but it's your age
no friend oh
tommy hits those apartments up
they cannot love anything
you hear a sign
is this what you meant
when you wrote your sister
a chance you take
is they derride your wicked heart
i'm by your side
they don't understand what you do
so what for nor do you
tommy and dan
you can't hold hands
down your street
who cares you're gay
but it's your age
no friend oh
upstanding man
the spring you seek is not for them
to stroke his cheek
and thus repair the airhole/whore (?)
of his creator
you always complain no one's good
well here you are let them see
tommy and dan
you can't hold hands
down your street
who cares you're gay
but it's your age
no friend oh
a wretched life to sit through
his sister cries "you'll go to hell"
you're unsure if he's legal
it's more
tommy and dan
you can't hold hands
down your street
who cares you're gay
but it's your age
no friend oh
tommy hits those apartments up
they cannot love anything
you hear a sign
is this what you meant
when you wrote your sister
a chance you take
is they derride your wicked heart
i'm by your side
they don't understand what you do
so what for nor do you
tommy and dan
you can't hold hands
down your street
who cares you're gay
but it's your age
no friend oh

the spring you seek is not for them
to stroke his cheek and thus repair
the error of his creator
you always complain no one is good
well here you are let them see
Tommy and Dan you can't hold hands
down your street
who cares, you're gay
but it's your age
no friend oh!
a wretched life to sit through
his sister cries he'll go to hell
and you're unsure if he's legal
it's more
will they "picks us apart" in Sodom
they cannot love anything
Lou Harrison is this what you meant
when you wrote Young Caesar
the chance you take as they derride
your wicked heart, i'm by your side
they don't understand what you do
so what for nor do you
from the lyrics booklet
this song is obviously about a grown man who falls in love with a young boy. totally heart-breaking.
favorite line: "they don't understand what you do/so what for nor do you".
this is my favorite song off of "women as lovers", too, so yeah, it was a labor of love.
"when you wrote your sister" ? maybe?
this song is heartbreaking.
