"This Kind of Love" by Meg Hentges
Threw together a video for this song, because it is one of my favorites and has no representation on YouTube. Moslty just random Videos and Pictures off my computer.
Lyrics:
At every high school in the Midwest
All the queers are at the bottom
Just above the poor and pregnant
Just below the future farmers
I could feel it,
So I left it,
I had twelve years to unload.
I'm lookin' both ways,
I'm crossing over the road.
(This kind of love is good for you
This kind of love is)
Crossin' over the road.
(This kind of love is good for you,
This kind of love)
What was he saying from the pulpit?
While I was dosin' in the pews.
"You know they hide in public restrooms
Like a monster underneath the bed
They will devour you"
"You can't, you don't, you won't amount
You don't add up to nothing
'Cause zero and zero is"
But Girl and Girl
And Boy and Boy
And Girl and boy are working on
This kind of love is
What Margarita told Tom
(This kind of love is good for you
This kind of love
This kind of love is good for you
This kind of love)
What Margarita told Tom
Girl and Girl
And Boy and Boy
And Girl and Boy are workin'
And Girl and Girl
And Boy and Boy
And Girl and Boy are workin'
But Girl and Girl
And Boy and Boy
And Girl and boy are working on
This kind of love is
What Margarita told Tom
(This kind of love is good for you
This kind of love
This kind of love is good for you
This kind of love)
What Margarita told Tom

This is AWESOME! I just spoke with Meg about this video. It is wonderful how, so many years later, you have completely captured the essence of the song. Thanks for sharing your work.
