I'll Never Be Your Man

歌詞

I don't care where you've been I don't care what you've seen Underneath the mountains On the scrotum of the sea I don't give a shit who you are How you smashed your favourite car All I see before me Is the man you'll never be And though I love no other And no other's brother And sometimes the technician In the art school lavatory Know I never betrayed you Though - technically - they slayed you None of them were half the men That you will never be You look strange in the moonlight I wonder if I've done the right thing To invite you To share your bed with me With the hole in your jacket The shoe in your pocket One eye dangling from the socket Of the man you'll never be Well you have much to commend you But who would befriend you With the alcoholic swagger No-one's ever pleased to see You've got the eyes of a spider The handshake of a miser I guess at least you're pleased you're not The man you'll never be And though many refuse you Hide from you and try to lose you Some run you over Quite deliberately I will not shirk my duty For I love you truly Not for who you are But for the man you'll never be You've got the lips of a chicken The tics of a victim The eyes of a liar And the belly of a whale I don't care what stupid things you've done How you stared into the sun When all I see, increasingly Is the man you'll never be La la la la la-la La la la-la La la la la-la La la la la la la la la La-la la la La la la-la La la la la-la la La la la la la la-la And though I loved no other And no other's brother And the jackass in the record shop Who burns the fake CDs Know I never despised you Someone's undermined you It's plain to see you're half the man That you will never be
