Mans Tight Vest

(album: I Was Born A Man - 1995)

Man's tight vest
I can't get in, can't make a nest for myself, yeah
Ooh yeah yeah yeah

I feel like a woman
Yet I was born a man
Wish I'd been christened Valerie
Instead of Stan

In a man's tight vest
I don't fit into this world
I was born a boy
But I wish I was a girl

No one understands
In this skeptical land
Why I walk like a girl
But I talk like a man

Sometimes I feel like a pony
But my feet have ten toes not hooves
I have stubble on my chin
And a big feminine button nose

In a man's tight vest
I don't fit into this world
I was born a boy
But I wish I'd been a girl

Am I drawing you a picture?
A photograph for your mind
I'm shaped like a knocker
On the door of mankind

Bang me once or twice (bang bang bang...)
And I'll take off the chain (bang bang bang...)
I answer through the crack to Stanley
But if you like you can call me Jane

I'm so terribly confused (like a swan in a wormhole)
Which shoes for what dress
I'm happy with my nails (even Jesus was jealous)
But my hair's a mess

Bang me on the backside
Bang me on the chest
I'm a woman inside a man
Dirty sexy little man's tight vest
