Robyn Hitchcock - Uncorrected Personality Traits lyrics

Uncorrected personality trait's that seem
Whimsical in a child
May prove to be ugly in a fully grown adult
Lack of involvement with the father
Or over-involvement with the mother
Can result in lack of ability
To relate to sexual peers
And in homosexual leanings, narcissism
Transexuality (Girls from the waist up
Men from the waist down)
Attempts to be your own love object
Reconcile your parents to you by
Becoming both at once!
Even Marilyn Monroe was a man, but this tends
To get overlooked By
Our mother-fixated, overweight, sexist media
So, uncorrected personality trait's that seem
Whimsical in a child
May prove to be ugly in a fully grown adult
If you give in to them every time they cry
They will become little tyrants but
They won't remember why
Then when they are thwarted by
People in later life
They will become psychotic and they won't
Make an ideal husband or wife
The spoiled baby grows into
The escapist teenager who's
The adult alcoholic who's
The middle-aged suicide (Oy)

So, uncorrected personality trait's that seem
Whimsical in a child
May prove to be ugly in a fully grown adult
