Au fil de navigations aléatoires sur le net, je suis retombé sur Janis Ian, que j’avais déjà lue pour son article décapant de 2002 sur la musique, les majors & le mp3 (The Internet Debacle).
J’ai pris cette fois le temps de l’écouter, et — comme elle me l’autorise — je peux partager le plaisir que j’ai eu à la découverte de « Married in London ».
We’re married in Londonbut not in New YorkSpain says we’re kosherThe States say we’re porkWe wed in TorontoThe judge said “Amen”and when we got homewe were single againIt’s hard being marriedand living in sinSometimes I forgetjust which state I am inThank God I’m not CatholicI’d be a messtrying to figure outwhat to confessMy passport in Swedensays I’ve got a wifeAmsterdam tells meI’m partnered for lifeBut back in Americaland of the freeI’m a threat tothe national securityIf I were a froghere is what I would sayIt’s hard being greenIt’s hard being gayBut love has no colorand hearts have no sexso love where you canand bugger the rest
