Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 - What You Is lyrics

You might have been a villain with a capital V. You might have had a plane to catch and left your family. It doesn't matter what you was, it's what you is. And what you is is what you are. You might have been a midwife trying to help somebody in. You might have been a Cardinal with an A to Zed of skin. Open up your window... ...honey let me in You might have been Columbia releasing orange 45s. ( Hot As Steeeeeeeel) You might have been the empress bee in her furry little hive. ( Buzz Buzz) All the other bees: It doesn't matter what you was, it's what you is. And what you is is what you are. Well you've got to come from somewhere but you don't have to go back there... ...anymore. Hey! You might have been the police knock knock knocking at the door. You might have been a nice young man on a nice young floor. It doesn't matter what you was, it's what you is. And what you is is what you are. One more, yeah. It doesn't matter what you was, or what you is. And what you is is what you are. You might be looking innocent mmmm...deep inside you're not. You might be feeling guilty just a little not a lot. It doesn't matter what you was, it's what you is. And what you is is what you are. Yeah! Hey...hey, hey. Hey...hey, hey. Hey...hey, hey. Hey, hey.
