The Boy Camille - Momus

I, the boy Camille

Got a rotten deal

So I’ve come on thunderboots

To tell you how I feel

I’m the boy Camille

My nerves are made of steel

And yet the laws you passed

Can never be repealed

I started as a woman

Then became a man

But you still refer to me

As «the hermogyne»

You threw me into therapy

Performed your operation

Said you’d make a better me

But really made a mess of me

But I have come on thunderstilts

Taller than the state you built

I have made my choice

I have found my voice

There are more things in this world than your philosophy

There are wonders in this world, like the Boy Camille

So join the queue, roll up and see the strangest curiosities

Bring the man you call your wife, bring your daughter, she’s a dyke

Nothing’s normal any more

And I have lost all fucking fear

Opened up the thunderbox

No-one's getting out of here

There are more things in this world than your philosophy

There are wonders in this world, like the Boy Camille

And I have come to these conclusions

I have seen through your illusions

I have come to say

A world begins today

I, the boy Camille

Got a rotten deal

So I’ve come on thunderboots

To tell you how I feel
