words - gerard, tune - chas / si
this song was first performed on the day rock hudson died, and was named in his honour. other than that, it's got nothing to do wit him - it is actually about and for the woman i was in love with at the time, who informed much of the flowers lyric and general attitude back then. birgitte rhodes RIP. this was on the famous unreleased album.
The American flag flashed its red white and blue
It was covered in blood
It reminded me of you
And how we used to go, dancing in the snow
You said living was dying and laughing was
crying
My death flows where the dying earth goes
The violence of silence
It tears at my conscience
We spat our disgust at the blood-spangled
banner
You said living is dying and laughing is
crying
And nothing is living as loving is dying
Hey you've got a nice white face
In a nice white place
A new polite craze
I wish I was living in a civil war
The grass grows greener
Where excitement flows
I want to bleed sweet blood
And taste the menstruation
Of a lunar cycle nation
For their love
Is like masturbation
To her….
