I Wish I Were A Lesbian
From the 2 Nice Girls

When I was a young girl, like normal girls do
I looked to a woman's love to help get me through
I never needed any more than a feminine touch
I hated the thought of kissing a man, it really was too much.
I did not drink, I did not smoke, I did not say goddamn;
I was polite, I was sensitive until I loved a man.
My family were proud of me, were proud of what I am,
But then along came Lester and my tale of woe began.
 
I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer.
My life was so much simpler when I was sober and queer,
But the love of a strong hairy man has turned my head I fear,
And made me spend my last ten bucks on birth control and beer.
 
It was June 1983 when Mary Lou and I did part.
She said she loved another dyke. My God! it broke my heart.
I was bitter and disillusioned to lose another girlfriend
But Lester came to work at Papa's store and decided to ease on in.

The song is by the group Two Nice Girls, and, as far as I know, it's out of print, since their CDs came out on Rough Trade. It's on at least two of their CDs, and I have it on the EP _Like a Version_, which is all cover songs, except for that one song. I think this is their second release. It's also on their first full-lenght release, but I don't know the name of it.

Unfortunately, I don't have the lyrics on the CD, and I haven't transcribed them, but now that you know the group, you should probably be able to find it used.

Hope this is of some help.

Okay, I know the chorus and one verse to a very funny song, and I'd like more info. I didn't find it in the database. I think it's modern, so if anyone knows who wrote and/or recorded it, please let me know. It's in kind of a mock country/western tone.

The chorus is:

I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer.
My life was so much simpler when I was sober, and queer.
But the love of a strong hairy man has turned my head, I fear,
And made me spend my last ten bucks on birth control--and beer.

Anyone who recognizes this, please help.

Thanks
