Billy - Nik Kershaw

Billy is a new man

He does the best he can

To figure out what it’s about

And what the hell he’s meant to be

He does the right thing when expected

'Nuff respect

Once in a while he likes a smoke and a joke

Just as long as it’s P. C

And he thinks that he cries at the movies

'Cause he’s in touch with his feminine side

Sally wants a proud man

Sally wants a proud man

Sally wants a proud man

'Cause she’s taken all his pride

Billy is a new man, at least when she’s around

A model father or if needed

He’ll be mother for the day

He watches «Men Behaving Badly»

Though he’ll gladly switch it off

If she’s offended

He’ll pretend it wasn’t funny anyway

He’s got one face he keeps for his woman

And one for when he’s out with the guys

Sally wants a true man

Sally wants a true man

Sally wants a true man

But he’s living out a lie

Better go and find an analyst, or something

Time for sorting out his head

Better go and find the book to read about it

Just like his daddy never did

And he reads Marie Claire at the Doctors

Just in case there is something he should know

Sally wants a free man

Sally wants a free man

Sally wants a free man

But she will not let him go

Billy is confused

He feels abusive and abused

He’s got his one hand on an olive branch

The other on his crotch

He drives a sensible coupé

He thinks Oasis are OK

He drinks non-alcoholic lager though

He’d rather have a scotch

And he tries very hard to be happy

But there’s a few little things in the way

'Cause Billy wants a good girl

And a bad girl

And a blonde girl

And a brunette

Or a Bond Girl

And a house maid

And a tease maid

And a French maid

Yeah, a sex aid

And a Goddess

And a confidante

A wet nurse and an agony aunt

A lover, mother, baby sitter

A young girl with a pretty face

And smart

But not too smart to love an asshole

Yes, an asshole

Billy wants to be an asshole

Singin'

Billy wants it all now

Billy wants it all now

Billy wants it all now

But he’s too ashamed to say

Sally wants a Superman

Sally wants a Superman

Sally wants a Superman

She hasn’t got a chance
