The  Pub talk, the  scandals
Like  vandals they try  to tear  you down.
The  whispers turn  rumours
There's  no truth but that  don't stop  those cats.
They  need that little  bit extra
They  don't mind if it's only  conjecture.
They  tried to tell me I wasn't  I full time
I  tried to think of an alibi
I  felt so awful I spat  in their faces
 And ran  for my life
They  need that little  bit extra
They  don't mind if it's only  conjecture.
They  tried to tell me theirs was  the right way
I  tried shout that that was  a lie
I  felt so sick I spat on  their life styles
 With a run  away pride!
Untouched  by human  hands
'Cause  only God knows I don't  call that  a man
Who  spends his waking  days
Telling  others what to think  and what  to say
They  tried to tell me I wasn't  normal
I  tried to say there's no  such thing
I  felt so awful I spat  in their faces
 With a run  away pride!
