Cultured Man - The Zolas

I want to be your cultured man

who doesn’t jump off of the bus you were riding

run as fast as his legs can go

to return the previous night’s video

then sprinting to catch up

by the next bus stop

Just to impress you my love

just to impress you

just to impress you my love and sit back beside you.

I want to be your talented man

who doesn’t wake you in the morning having cooked us something strange

and when you go for supper at his folks

doesn’t burst in through the door and announce to them

you’re never gonna guess

who I brought as a guest.

Cause your blood is family too

so come to the table

your blood is family too now sit down beside us.

Pouring wine and pushing opinions

taking drags, ignoring the dishes

the worlds we unwrap off the top of our heads

you and me and my folks between dinner and bed.

When months they pour into years and more

will he still be holding car doors for you?
