The Wild Party movie - An Old-Fashioned Love Story lyrics
rate me<br>
MADELAINE<br>
At the bar there's a girl in the shadow<br>
Sitting still like a nun unknown.<br>
Though an attic full of strangers<br>
May hold many hidden dangers<br>
There's a quality I like - <br>
She's alone. <br>
<br>
So I pause <br>
And I wink <br>
And I shudder<br>
Just to bring her attention in line<br>
While her pastures may be greener<br>
I can tell by her demeanor<br>
She's mine!<br>
<br>
(The girl falls off her chair, dead drunk.)<br>
<br>
That's fine:<br>
I need a good-natured, old-fashioned <br>
Lesbian love story<br>
The kind of tale my mama used to tell.<br>
Where the girls were so sweet<br>
And the music would swell<br>
And in the end the queen would send the men off to hell.<br>
<br>
What is that mild-mannered, old-fashioned <br>
Lesbian love story<br>
Where people knew exactly who they were?<br>
I want the story of yore<br>
That they don't sing anymore<br>
To an old-fashioned dyke like her.<br>
<br>
See that girl on the bed, how she wants me.<br>
She's a bee I could free from the hive.<br>
I would never dare deceive her<br>
She's a very clever beaver<br>
With a quality I like - <br>
She's alive.<br>
<br>
So I pause <br>
And I twitch<br>
In the silence<br>
While I pray that she'll play out this hand.<br>
But I feel my intuition<br>
Saying "Notice her position" - <br>
Start the band!<br>
<br>
(The girl is embraced by a man.)<br>
<br>
She's clearly manned.<br>
<br>
I planned a well-rendered, one-gendered<br>
Lesbian love story<br>
With good old-fashioned sex in every line<br>
Where girls with tattoos would whimper and whine<br>
"While on all fours, you show me yours<br>
And I'll show you mine."<br>
<br>
I miss that soft-hearted, old-fashioned<br>
Lesbian love story<br>
Where women wrestle bears and passersby.<br>
The kind of story so good <br>
That they won't tell in my 'hood<br>
To an old-fashioned dyke like - <br>
<br>
I'm gorgeous<br>
I'm single<br>
I'm bustin' with laughs<br>
So why<br>
Can't I <br>
Be just in two short paragraphs of a<br>
You betcha, damn funny<br>
Lesbian love story<br>
The kind of yarn that turns a girl to mush.<br>
Choose from hundreds of blondes <br>
But when shove comes push <br>
I understand a bird in hand's worth two in the bush.<br>
Sweet Jesus!<br>
<br>
Let's hear that old-fashioned <br>
Lesbian love story<br>
Where girls are girls <br>
And boys stay out to sea.<br>
I'll write a new one and then<br>
I'll make them tell it again<br>
To an old-fashioned dyke<br>
Like me!<br>
<br>
