Jarvis Cocker - I'm A Man lyrics

Laid here with the advertising sliding past my eyes Like cartoons from other people's lives I start to wonder what it takes to be a man Well, I learned to drink, and I learned to smoke And I learned to tell a dirty joke Oh, if that's all there is then there's no point for me Oh, so please can I ask just why we're alive? 'Cos all that you do seems such a waste of time And if you hang around too long you'll be a man Tell me 'bout it Your car can get up to a hundred and ten You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again And nothing ever makes no difference to a man So you stumble into town and hold your stomach in Show them what you've got though they've seen everything Yeah, you're a beauty but they've seen your type before You've got no need but still you want So go and book that restaurant The wine will flow and then you'll just fly away Oh, so please can I ask just why we're alive? 'Cos all that you do seems such a waste of time And if you hang around too long you'll be a man Tell me 'bout it Your car can get up to a hundred and ten You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again And nothing ever makes no difference to a man Oh, tell me 'bout it And please can I ask just why we're alive? 'Cos all that you do seems such a waste of time And if you hang around too long you'll be a man Oh tell, c'mon, tell me 'bout it Your car can get up to a hundred and ten You've nowhere to go but you'll go there again And nothing ever makes no difference to a man To a man To a man To a man That's what I am
