You'll Never Be A Man - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

You need protection from the physical art of conversation

Though the fist is mightier than the lip, it adds the aggravation

I got the password

I got persuasion

A proposition for invasion of your privacy

Give yourself away and find the fake in me

You’ll never be a man

No matter how many foreign bodies you can take

You’ll never be a man

When you’re half a woman and you’re half awake

With a face full of tears and a chemical shake

Given half a chance, that I can take

Are you so superior, are you in such pain

Are you made out of porcelain?

When they made you they broke the cast

Don’t wanna be first, I just want to last

Oh oh

You strike a profile on the low side of my imagination

My eyes climbed down to find the point of possible saturation

I got the password

I got persuasion

A proposition for invasion of your privacy

Give yourself away and find the fake in me

You’ll never be a man

No matter how many foreign bodies you can take

You’ll never be a man

When you’re half a woman and you’re half awake

Under the table with a chemical shake

Given half a chance, that I can take

Are you so superior, are you in such pain

Are you made out of porcelain?

When they made you they broke the cast

Don’t wanna be first, I just want to last

Are you so superior, are you in such pain

Are you made out of porcelain?

When they made you they broke the cast

Don’t wanna be first, I just want to last

Are you so superior, are you in such pain

Are you made out of porcelain?

When they made you they broke the cast

Don’t wanna be first, I just want to last

Oh oh
