Billy

歌詞

Billy is a new man, He does the best he can To figure out what it's about And what the hell he's meant to be. He does the right thing when expected, 'Nuff respect, Once in a while he likes a smoke and a joke, Just as long as it's P.C. And he thinks that he cries at the movies 'Cause he's in touch with his feminine side. Sally wants a proud man Sally wants a proud man Sally wants a proud man 'Cause she's taken all his pride. Billy is a new man, at least when she's around A model father or if needed, He'll be mother for the day, He watches "Men Behaving Badly" Though he'll gladly switch it off If she's offended He'll pretend it wasn't funny anyway He's got one face he keeps for his woman And one for when he's out with the guys Sally wants a true man Sally wants a true man Sally wants a true man But he's living out a lie Better go and find an analyst, or something. Time for sorting out his head. Better go and find the book to read about it Just like his daddy never did. And he reads Marie Claire at the Doctors, Just in case there is something he should know. Sally wants a free man Sally wants a free man Sally wants a free man But she will not let him go. Billy is confused, He feels abusive and abused. He's got his one hand on an olive branch, The other on his crotch. He drives a sensible coupé, He thinks Oasis are OK. He drinks non-alcoholic lager though He'd rather have a scotch. And he tries very hard to be happy, But there's a few little things in the way. 'Cause Billy wants a good girl And a bad girl And a blonde girl And a brunette Or a Bond Girl And a house maid And a tease maid And a French maid, Yeah, a sex aid, And a Goddess And a confidante, A wet nurse and an agony aunt, A lover, mother, baby sitter, A young girl with a pretty face And smart But not too smart to love an asshole, Yes, an asshole. Billy wants to be an asshole. Singin' Billy wants it all now Billy wants it all now Billy wants it all now But he's too ashamed to say. Sally wants a Superman Sally wants a Superman Sally wants a Superman She hasn't got a chance.
