View from Gay Head lyrics

I heard Cheryl and Mary say

There are two kinds of people in the world today

One or the other a person must be

The men are them, the women are we

And they agree it's a pleasure to be

A lesbian, lesbian

Let's be in no man's land

Lesbian, lesbian

Any woman can be a lesbian

And Liza wishes the library

Had men and women placed separately

Ah, but theirs is the kingdom

She knows who she'll find

In the HIStory of MANkind

But then she's inclined to be ahead of her time

She's a lesbian, lesbian

Let's be in no man's land

Lesbian, lesbian

Any woman can be a lesbian

Carol is tired of being nice

A sweet smile, a pretty face, submissive device

To pacify the people for they won't defend

A woman who's indifferent to men

She's my friend, she's a lesbian

And women's anger Louise explains

A million second places in the master's games

It's real as a mountain, it's strong as the sea

Besides, an angry woman is a beauty

She's chosen to be a dyke like me

She's a lesbian, lesbian

Let's be in no man's land

Lesbian, lesbian

Any woman can be a lesbian

So the sexes do battle, they batter about

The men's are the sexes I will do without

I'll return to the bosom where my journey ends

Where there's no penis between us friends

Will I see you again

When you're a lesbian, lesbian

Let's be in no man's land

Lesbian, lesbian

Any woman can be lesbian

Every woman can be a lesbian
