Marc Almond - A Man Lyrics
I really must stop always being the childChasing his youth his heart, nose to the windI really must cure my tender nostalgiaBury deep my stars beneath the veil of nightI must postpone my spanish chteauDreams that befuddle like an old wineI must also give up those sunny statesTo become a manAnd when that day comesYou will forgive me, you wont be surprisedWhen I show my teeth, when I show my biteThen I will be a manAnd I will stand tallI really must share my classes with othersSo my youth can pass at last, so I forgetI really must scrape my nails on my heartThat my life hardens with sorrow and painI must upset my guardian angelsWho soothed me too muchAnd when that day comesYou wont be annoyedIf I scratch a bit, if I practice being....so savage!You will forgive me, you wont be surprisedWhen I show my teeth, when I show my biteThen I will be a manAnd I will stand tallAnd you will be prepared to find before youSomeone whos like you, a wolf among the wolvesThen I will be a manAnd I will stand tallAnd you will be prepared to find before youSomeone whos like you, Ill be a wolf among the wolvesThen I will be a manAnd I will stand tallThen I will be a manAnd I will stand tall
