Living with Lesbians Lyrics


The fields were cut the other day.
We hired a boy up the hill.
A neighbor has lowered the old barn down.
We admire his equipment, his skill.
My daughter, she's five, he lets her drive
His bulldozer, he shows her how.
We do all that we can, but we
Can't always manage to live just with women now.
Liza is my sweetheart: Adrian is my child.
We've been working out our relationships:
Our tastes, our flaws, our styles.
I attend their moods, ideas, demands;
They do the same for me.
And living with Liza I've learned to rely
On her insight: Her sanity.
Smokey and Mary live right next door

In a home-sweet-home they built so well.
We're preparing our stoves for the winter's cold,
And we're stacking up our fuel.
Penny and Janet are coming tonight to watch Rhoda’s
New season premiere.
They've been trying out life in the country.
And we're all hoping they'll move around here.
Oh, there are Lesbians over in the valley.
Further south, in the mountains: more.
They are making their lives with women work
Like it's never been done before.
There are more in town: Many more around
That I've never met, I know.
And we have friends in the cities, in the centers of men
Where the women can toughen up so.
Living with Lesbian sensibilities.
They absorb our time: Inspire our thought,
Provoke anger, sometimes injury.
Bring out, Talk about, Analyze, Then agree
What is really going on.
Lesbian consciousness: Struggle to get
It’s a skill, it cannot be withdrawn.
I'm living with women.
I'm living with Lesbians.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Alix Dobkin (b. August 16, 1940) is an American folk singer/songwriter.

She was born in New York City and raised in Philadelphia. She graduated from Germantown High School in 1958, and the Tyler School of Art, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, in 1962. She began performing the Greenwich Village coffeehouse Scene in the early '60's.

Dobkin briefly married a man in the late 1960's, the marriage producing a daughter. In 1972, Dobkin came out as a lesbian, something very uncommon for a public personality to do at the time. She has since been very active in promoting GLBT rights.

Dobkin has a small but devoted cult audience. However, she gained some unexpected (and not entirely welcome) fame in the Eighties when comedians like David Letterman and Howard Stern tracked down the "Lavender Jane Loves Women" album, and began playing it on the air. Her warbling vocal style and oh-so-earnest ("Lesbian, lesbian, any woman can be a lesbian") lyrics made her a somewhat easy target for satire.
