Hero
Many
Are holdin out for a hero
And I been that guy
Once
Maybe twice
Mandy prophecised
That Id show them how it was done
In a Bloomsbury hotel
And false modesty aside
It came to pass
She was on acid
And also predicted I would teach
At the School
Of Oriental and African Studies
A prediction that is yet to be
Truth be told
She used to spend a lot of time
Getting pissed
And calling me a homophobe
Because I didnt want to wear eyeliner
Truth be told I was pretty shit
In a lot of ways
But I've always been on good terms with gays
But I don't like being told
How to dress
Little did she know that I had happily
Worn a dress on stage
And been to Vague
I kissed a girl and I liked it
Fuck only knows what you call my opposite
No woman would choose
To swap roles with me
Im not an it she or he
