[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Upon the sand
, upon the bay
"There is a q
uick and easy
way" you say
Before you ill
ustrate
I'd rather st
ate:
[Pre-chorus]
"I'm not the m
an you think I
am
I'm not the ma
n you think I
am"
[Chorus]
And sorrow's n
ative son
He will not sm
ile for anyone
And pretty gir
ls make graves
Oh...
[Verse 2]
End of
the pier, end
of the bay
You tug my arm
, and say: "Gi
ve in to lust,
Give up to lus
t, oh heaven k
nows we'll
Soon be dust..
. "
[Pre-chorus]
Oh, I'm not th
e man you thin
k I am
I'm not the ma
n you think I
am
[Chorus]
And sorrow's n
ative son
He will not ri
se for anyone
And pretty gir
ls make graves
Oh...
[Verse 3]
I could h
ave been wild
and I could ha
ve been free
But nature pla
yed this trick
on me
She wants it n
ow
And she will n
ot wait
[Verse 4]
But she's too
rough
And I'm too de
licate
Then, on the s
and
Another man, h
e takes her ha
nd
A smile lights
up her stupid
face
(and well, it
would)
[Chorus]
I lost my fa
ith in Womanho
od
I lost my fait
h in Womanhood
I lost my fait
h...
Oh...
[Outro]
Hand in glove.
..
The sun shines
out of our be
hinds...
Oh...
(Fade out)
