We've been around too long to keep it inside.
Adventures in retrosynthesis.
When I can think of something to say, It'll go here.
Lyrics
(Chorus)
Pride, pride, gotta have pride
We've been around too long to keep it inside
Pride pride, gotta have pride
Pride is power and power is pride
It's time to celebrate all the colours of th rainbow
Get out into the steets follow the tide
Silk top hats and button shoes, erotic tintypes midnight cruise
Berlin gay society 1903
Sigmund Freud, vienna hype, identifies the homo type
The Intermediate Sex and heterodoxy
The gay wave moves across the sea, hello there Miss Liberty
Betty Boop is hot and hooch is out in the cold
Grenwich Villiage, Bloomsbury, gays in high society
Harlem nights, chicago fights, Leopold and Loeb
The captive hits the broadway stage, The Fleet's In, Cadmus all the rage
The Well Of Lonliness appears on the stands.
Depression, breadlines, Crystal Night, Adolf shows olympic might
Put on your pink triangles and put up your hands
A-Bomb, the 50s keen, the Kinsey's shake the cocktail scene
James Dean, Mattachine, Dorris Day and Harry Hay
Donald Webster Cory writes, Joe Macarthy picks a fight
J.Edgar, Roy Cohn shame on you, what else do you plan to do?
Christine Jorgensen reborn, Daughters Of Bilitis form, we have our Naked Lunch in Giovanni's Room
Marylin, the beatnik scene, Jacki's in her cassini, Vatican II and something's comming soon
Summer 1969, the heat is rising all the time
And over the rainbow Judy Garland sleeps
Stonewall bar, men in blue, heads were broken bottles flow
Out of the bars, into the streets.
Boys In The Band played, Bette Midler sang, those bathhouse days...
