Momus - The Boy Camille lyrics

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Can never be repealed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
