Big Strong Man

You were born into the land of signet rings and summer houses

Me, into the province of the personalised number plate

Oh how thrilling it must be to have money but no taste

Safe behind the electronic gates

You were raised with the relentless extraversion of evangelicals

Taught that you’re uncredited if you’re not centre stage

Thеn they took away your God

And let the floodlights blеach your face

A shivering understudy giving sermons in your place

And you, will never love me

And that’s okay

Think of all the energy I’ll save

Praying to a god, I made up just to

Prove I can

Fuck everything and think like a big strong man

Oh sweet darling, do you ever shut up?

You know I hate it when you interrupt

Let’s go out on the town, your search is through

You’ve finally found a girl who’s smarter than you

-will never love me

And that’s okay

Think of all the energy i’ll save

Praying to a god, i made up just to

Prove I can

Fuck everything and think like a big strong man

And when i play you this song

Here’s what you’ll say

‘I love the breakdown in the middle eight’

And you’ll ignore that strange pulsating thing

I tore out from my chest

You don’t see me rip my heart out

All you see is ugly red

I guess that’s what artists do

Wish I could be a big strong man like you

Never never, never be good enough

Never never, I’ll never be good enough

Never never, I’ll never be good enough

Never never, I’ll never be good enough
