| | | | ||
Upon the sand, upon the bay | |||
"There is a quick and easy way" you say | |||
Before you illustrate | |||
I'd rather state: | |||
I'm not the man you think I am | |||
I'm not the man you think I am | |||
And sorrow's native son | |||
He will not smile for anyone | |||
And pretty girls make graves | |||
End of the pier, end of the bay | |||
You tug my arm, and say: "give in to lust | |||
Give up to lust, oh heaven knows we'll | |||
Soon be dust" | |||
Oh, I'm not the man you think I am | |||
I'm not the man you think I am | |||
And sorrow's native son | |||
He will not rise for anyone | |||
And pretty girls make graves | |||
(Oh, really?) | |||
I could have been wild and I could have been free | |||
But Nature played this trick on me | |||
She wants it now | |||
And she will not wait | |||
But she's too rough | |||
And I'm too delicate | |||
Then, on the sand | |||
Another man, he takes her hand | |||
A smile lights up her stupid face | |||
(And well, it would) | |||
I lost my faith in womanhood | |||
I lost my faith in womanhood | |||
I lost my faith | |||
Hand in glove | |||
The sun shines out of our behinds | |||
