Youll Never Be a Man — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

You need protection from the physical art of conversation

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



Bridge and chorus:

I got the password

I got persuasion

A proposition for invasion of your privacy

Give yourself away and find the fake in me

Youll never be a man

No matter how many foreign bodies you can take

Youll never be a man

When youre half a woman and youre half awake

(1) with a face full of tears and a chemical shake

(2) 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

Dont wanna be first, I just want to last



You strike a profile on the low side of my imagination

My eyes climbed down to find the point of possible saturation



Bridge and chorus
