Brendan Kelly and the Wandering Birds - A Man With the Passion of Tennessee Williams Lyrics

Well I came
And I saw
And I saw that I came

And I didn't really conquer
But I didn't really play

I’m inflamed and they named me most likely to be lazy.
Well, I think they did,
I stopped listening after they nominated me.
And nothing’s gonna stop me now.
That’s because I’m sitting still.

And I ain’t leaving til I get my fill.
I ain't leaving til I get my fill.

I’m hot for the teacher and the rhetoric
I’m hot for the well spoken mechanic
I’m hot like the gritty desert sand, man.
I’m hot like Hawaiian Tropic tans, man.

I’m gonna say something no one’s ever said before. [x3]
I’ll figure out what it is in just a minute.

Oh oh oh oh [x5]

Pay no attention to the tattered, bloody curtain
You can be anything at all.
Pay no attention to the man behind the tattered, bloody curtain.
He looks like he took
A pretty bad fall.
And trying is the quickest way to fail.
And failing is the quickest way to lose your motivation
And that’s why I’m stationed at this station
A sublime subgenius submerged in sublimation.

Baby nothing's gonna stop me now.
That's because I'm sitting still.
And I ain't leaving til I get my fill.
I ain't leaving til I get my fill

I’m hot for the teacher and the rhetoric
I’m hot like that hot cop mechanic
I’m hot like the gritty desert sand, man.
I’m hot like Hawaiian Tropic tans, man.

I’m gonna say something no one’s ever said before. [x3]
Baby let me think for a minute more.

I’m gonna say something no one’s ever said before. [x3]
Baby let me think, baby let me think, think for a minute.
Let me think for a minute.
Just let me think for a minute. (Oh-Oh)
Now if we just knew how to get it, get it, get it.
