Lyrics: You’ll Never Be A Man
Album: Trust
Artist: Elvis Costello
 

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 password
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
