i'maman - ann magnuson lyrics

[chorus]
i’m a man
so i’m an elegant man, i’m a man
clara bows and open to*oes
are what i am

[verse 1]
yes i’m a man
yeah, i’m a fragile man, i’m a man
light of step and soft of touch
a gentle man

[pre*chorus]
you know i could love you
but if i should love you
then i would love you
the way a man loves a woman
and live my life like i’ve been livin’ it
my body claims my mind and soul
so let me be what i am
an elegant man

[chorus]
i’m a man
so i’m a graceful man, i’m a man
pierrots and sp*cious clothes
are what i am
[spoken]
pierrots? sp*cious clothes?
yeah, jobriath was pretty fruity
but so was everyone in the early 70s
when we werе all blow blow blowing away
in sp*cious clothes
and platform shoes
glitter еyeshadows
searching for [?] in thrift stores
emulating our movie idols from the 30s and 40s
that we’d watch on the late late show and revival houses
(does anyone remember revival houses???)
oh it was an exciting, screwed up time to be alive
life was to be lived
like a ken russel movie
[?] magazine
(divine decadence darling!)
[?]
boys with girls, girls with boys, boys with boys, girls with girls, girls and girls and boys and boys…[?]
and the occasional piece of overripe fruit
and we’d wash it down with a couple of quaaludes
and some [?] strawberry wine
(yeehaw)

jobriath was in the middle of it all
well not in the middle of it all with my glam rock hillbily hippie friends in west virginia
but in the middle of own scene
he created the scene
but… where?
but where did he come from?
a strange place called
king of prussia
and they say he was awol from the army
there seem to be some discharge papers which listed him as sgt bruce campbell
somehow [?] la cast of hair where he played woof
(my favorite show!)
then he made his way to new york city
[?] virtuoso piano sk!lls
[?] entrepreneur jerry brandt
no one knew where the money came from, but there was a lot of it
limos, hotel rooms, billboards all over manhattan
for a while there, jobriath’s face was on every bus every billboard
he was like [?] but with talent
sadly
the record didn’t do well
and backlash was severe
you see brandt tried to do for jobriath what tony defries did for bowie
both got totally screwed
but only one ended up
a superstar
