I don't Ccare where you've Gbeen
I don't Amcare what you've Emseen
FUnderneath the Cmountains
On the Dmscrotum of the Gsea
I don't Cgive a shit Gwho you are
AmHow you crashed your Emfavourite car
FAll I see beCfore me
Is the Dmman you'll never Gbe
And though CI love no Gother
AmAnd no other's Embrother
And Fsometimes the Ctechnician
In the Dmart school Glavatory
Know I Cnever betrayedG you
Though -- Amtechnically -- they Emslayed you
FNone of them were Chalf the men
That Dmyou will never Gbe
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
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
But someone's undermined you
It's plain to see you're half the man
That you will never be
