Why Can't A Man Stand Alone - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

Why can't a man stand alone [00:00:01]

Must he be burdened by all that[00:00:09]

He's taught to consider his own [00:00:13]

His skin and his station [00:00:20]

His kin and his crown [00:00:26]

His flag and his nation[00:00:31]

They just weigh him down[00:00:34]

You know pride is a sin[00:00:37]

That we tend to forgive[00:00:43]

But it gets hard to live[00:00:45]

When you don't have the love[00:00:49]

In her heart to begin with[00:00:52]

Why can't a man stand alone [00:00:57]

Why can't a woman be just[00:01:12]

What she seems [00:01:17]

Must she be tarnished by[00:01:20]

Men who can only be men in their dreams [00:01:24]

When beauty meets ignorance[00:01:32]

They shout in the street[00:01:38]

Repeating their offer to each girl they meet[00:01:43]

The respect that she needs it isn't a gift[00:01:48]

But it gets hard to lift yourself up[00:01:57]

When you don't have the[00:02:01]

Strength to begin with[00:02:04]

Why can't a woman stand alone [00:02:08]

Why can't a baby sleep at[00:02:17]

Night and dream of the time to come[00:02:23]

And never fear the world[00:02:27]

Outside the touch of someone very near[00:02:32]

Why can't a man stand up [00:02:41]

Why can't a man stand up [00:02:49]

Why can't a man stand alone[00:02:55]
