Half A Man Song Lyrics
Print Version
This big old queen was standing
On the corner of the street
He waved his hanky at me
As I went rolling by
I pulled the truck up on the sidewalk
And I climbed down from the cab
With my tire-chain and my knife
As I approached him
He was trembling like a bird
I raised the chain above my head
He said, "Please, before you kill me
Might I have one final word?"
And this is what he said:
"I am but Half A Man,
Half A Man I'd like to be a dancer
But I'm much too large
Half A Man, Half A Man
I'm an object for your pity
Not your rage"
Oh, the strangest feeling's sweeping over me
Both my speech and manner have become much more refined
I said, "Oh, what is this feeling?
What is wrong with me?"
She said, "Girl, it happens all the time "
And you are Half A Man,
Half A Man Look,
you're walking and you're talking Like a fag."
Half A Man,
I am Half A Man Holy Jesus, what a drag

Out behind the smoke-house in her rocking chair

"High on a cliff in Mexico
Staring down at the rocks and the sea below

"Beat-up little seagull
On a marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean
Lookin' everywhere..." | Bet No One Ever Hurt This Bad
"Sit by my window and watch the rain
I hear it beating on my window pane
Well, it makes me so sad
Be no one ever hurt this bad..." | Better Off Dead
"Musically, this one has a sort of overblown, heavenly quality to it. But lyrically, it's another story of a guy getting himself into a bad relationship that he can't get out of. He says, ";When you fall in love with someone who doesn't love you Someone who treats you so badly it ramifies your head Someone who doesn't want you but won't let you go Someone who thinks you're crazy and tells you so, over and over and over If this happens to you, you're better off dead."; It's exaggerated, but there's a kernel of truth there for so many people. You don't know what bad is until you feel that. I know what I'm talking about because I was once a woman who loved too much.
I know some critic is going to think I don't know what the word ramify means, or how to use it. made up an alternate verb form of it here, like a made-up R..." | |
