i'm a man

• pulp'ın this is harcore albümünden bir şarkı...
  
  "laid here with the advertising sliding past my eyes
  like cartoons from other peoples lives,
  i start to wonder what it takes to be a man.
  well i learned to drink and i learned to smoke and i learned to tell a dirty joke.
  if that's all there is then there's no point for me.
  
  so please can i ask just why we're alive?
  'cos all that you do seems such a waste of time
  
  and if you hang around too long you'll be a man.
  tell me 'bout it.
  your car can get up to a hundred and ten
  you've nowhere to go but you'll go there again
  and nothing ever makes no difference to a man.
  
  so you stumble into town and hold your stomach in.
  show them what you've got tho' they've seen everything.
  yeah you're a beauty but they've seen your type before.
  you've got no need but still you want,
  so go and book that restaurant.
  the wine will flow and then
  you'll just fly away.
  
  so please can i ask just why we're alive?
  'cos all that you do seems such a waste of time
  to a man
  to a man
  that's what i am."

• the spencer davis groupun gimme some lovinden sonra herhalde en fazla bilinen şarkısı. söz müzik steve winwood olup, daha sonra chicago da coverlamıştır.
  
  well my pad is very messy
  and theres whiskers on my chin
  and im all hung up on music
  and i always play to win
  i aint got no time for lovin
  cause my time is all used up
  just to sit around creatin
  all that groovy kind of stuff.
  im a man
  yes i am
  and i cant help
  but love you so
  im a man
  yes i am
  and i cant help
  but love you so.
  
  well if i had my choice of matter
  i would rather be with cats
  all engrossed in mental chatter
  moving where our minds are at
  and relating to each other
  just how strong our wills can be
  im resisting all involvement
  with each groovy chick we see
  
  well im a man
  yes i am
  and i cant help
  but love you so
  im a man
  yes i am
  and i cant help
  but love you so.
  
  i got to keep my image
  while suspended from a throne
  that looks out upon a kingdom
  full of people all unknown
  who imagine im not human
  and my heart is made of stone
  i never had no problems
  and my toilets trimmed with chrome
  
  im a man
  yes i am
  and i cant help
  but love you so.
  im a man
  yes i am
  and i cant help
  but love you so

• bo diddley'nin $arkıyı yazdığı dönemde afroamerikalıların ayrımcılığa kar$ı ba$kaldırması, $arkının ana temasını olu$turmu$tur. "i'm a man" nakaratına yapılan vurgu, çikolata renklilere diğer insanlardan farklı muamele edilmemesi gerektiği dü$üncesini^* desteklemektedir. öyle ki, sivil haklar hareketinin ba$ladığı yıllarda sokaklara dökülen aktivistler üzerinde "i am a man!" yazılı dövizler ta$ırlar...
  
  now when i was a little boy,
  at the age of five,
  i had somethin' in my pocket,
  keep a lot of folks alive.
  
  now i'm a man,
  made twenty-one,
  you know baby,
  we can have a lot of fun.
  
  i'm a man,
  i spell m-a-n...man.
  
  all you pretty women,
  stand in line,
  i can make love to you baby,
  in an hour's time.
  
  i'm a man,
  i spell m-a-n...man.
  
  i goin' back down,
  to kansas to
  bring back the second cousin,
  little john the conqueroo.
  
  i'm a man,
  i spell m-a-n...man.
  
  the line i shoot,
  will never miss,
  the way i make love to 'em,
  they can't resist.
  
  i'm a man,
  i spell m-a-n...man.
• rocknrolla'nın jeneriğinde çalan bir black strobe şarkısı.
• beyaz, sivriburun ayakabı hayranıysanız klibini kaçırmayın. neredeyse her 3 plandan 1'i ayakabı.
• rocknrolla'ya ayri hava katan muhtesem bir sarki.
• the pearl okurken, ms. koca altını çizdirip uzun uzadıya anlatmıştır bunu.

  kino, eşi juana'ya "i am a man" der.
  and that meant certain things to juana. it meant that he was half insane and half god...
