The Man You’ll Never Be
Momus
[Verse 1]
CG
I don't care where you've been
AmEm
I don't care what you've seen
FC
Underneath the mountains
DmG
On the scrotum of the sea
CG
I don't give a shit who you are
AmEm
How you crashed your favourite car
FC
All I see before me
DmG
Is the man you'll never be
[Verse 2]
CG
And though I love no other
AmEm
And no other's brother
FC
And sometimes the technician
DmG
In the art school lavatory
CG
Know I never betrayed you
AmEm
Though -- technically -- they slayed you
FC
None of them were half the men
DmG
That you will never be
[Verse 3]
CG
You look strange in the moonlight
AmEm
I wonder if I've done the right thing
FCDmG
To invite you to share your bed with me
CG
With the hole in your jacket
AmEm
The shoe in your pocket
FC
One eye dangling from the socket
DmG
Of the man you'll never be
[Verse 4]
CG
Well you have much to commend you
AmEm
But who would befriend you
FC
With the alcoholic swagger
DmG
No-one's ever pleased to see
CG
You've got the eyes of a spider
AmEm
The handshake of a miser
FC
I guess at least you're pleased you're not
DmG
The man you'll never be
[Verse 5]
CG
And though many refuse you
AmEm
Hide from you and try to lose you
FC
Some run you over
DmG
Quite deliberately
CG
I will not shirk my duty
AmEm
For I love you truly
FC
Not for who you are
DmG
But for the man you'll never be
[Verse 6]
CG
You've got the lips of a chicken
AmEm
The tics of a victim
FC
The eyes of a liar
DmG
And the belly of a whale
CG
I don't care what stupid things you've done
AmEm
How you stared into the sun
FC
When all I see, increasingly
DmG
Is the man you'll never be
[Verse 7]
CG
And though I loved no other
AmEm
And no other's brother
FC
And the jackass in the record shop
DmG
Who burns the fake CDs
CG
Know I never despised you
AmEm
But someone's undermined you
FC
It's plain to see you're half the man
DmG
That you will never be
