20 Years Old & 5’10”
I’ve made a detailed study of my phobias, my allergies, and motives too
I’ve read the best of Jung and Freud and Dr Spock to find out if they knew
I’ve studied my behaviour, oh can’t you see?
I’m trying hard to make a perfect man out of me
I’m 20 years old and I’m 5’10” and I’m starting all over again
I’ve studied anthropology, biology, the evolution of the human form
Aristotle’s Ethics, Maharishi’s laws, in my search for the normal norm
I sometimes am magnanimous, kind and sweet
But revert to being a bastard by the end of the week
I’m 20 years old and I’m 5’10” but I’m starting all over again
Well now I’ve studied everything so carefully, one singular problem still remains
Everybody tells me I must be myself, but if I am I’m not the same
It’s really quite confusing you must agree
That silly bugger Hamlet – he had nothing on me
I’m 20 years old and I’m 5’10” but I’m not starting all that again
I’d rather boogie
I’m not starting all that again
How truly pointless
I’m not starting all that again
It’s time for sex now
I’m not starting all that again
I’m really starving
I’m not starting all that again
