Elvis Costello - You'll Never Be A Man lyrics

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 pa**word I got persuasion A proposition for invasion of your privacy Give yourself away and find the fake in me You'll never be a man No matter how many foreign bodies you can take You'll never be a man When you're half a woman and you're 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 Don't 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
