*** – BR5-49, «Dog Days» (Dualtone)

Schwule Cowboys

Ich habs ja noch nicht mal geschafft, «Walk The Line» zu sehen. Und schwule Cowboys interessieren micht nicht wirklich. Aber nun kommen Freundinnen und Freunde und sagen, «Brokeback Mountain» müsse man gesehen haben.
Und heute noch dieses E-Mail:

Das gabs noch nie, musst auf deinem Blog veröffentlichen: schwuler Cowboysong! Das einzige was man ihm vorwerfen kann: Warum hat Willie das nicht vor 30 Jahren gesungen? It took this taiwanese guy's movie, first...

There's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas;
There's many a young boy who feels things he don't comprehend.
Well small towns don't like it when somebody falls between sexes,
No, small towns don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men.
Well I believe in my soul that inside every man there's a feminine,
And inside every lady there's a deep manly voice loud and clear.
Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he does with his women,
But the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer.
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
What did you think those saddles and boots was about?
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother,
Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out.
Ten men for each woman was the rule way back when on the prairie,
And somehow those cowboys must have kept themselves warm late at night.
Cowboys are famous for getting riled up about fairies,
But I'll tell you the reason a big strong man gets so uptight:
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
That's why they wear leather, and Levi's and belts buckled tight.
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother;
There's many a cowboy who's more like a lady at night.
Well there's always somebody who says what the others just whisper,
And mostly that someone's the first one to get shot down dead:
When you talk to a cowboy don't treat him like he was a sister
Don't mess with the lady that's sleepin' in each cowboy's head.
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
Even though they take speed and drive pickups and shoot their big guns;
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother;
There's many a cowboy who keeps quiet about things he's done.
