She's My Man Lyrics
This town was built on muddy stilts
By the lunatic parade
It rains like Revelations
Gonna wash these freaks away
Some girls wanna hold your hand
And some girls like to pray
Well my girl takes her drinks
With dust and rusty razor blades
As I lie between these covers
I wanna tell her that I love it
When she chokes me in the
Backseat of her riverboat 'cause
She's my man
And we got all the balls we need
When you taste that pavement
You're amazed
She smells your sympathy
So bye bye ladies
May the best queen hold the crown
For the most bush sold on the levee
My my, how word gets around
She strangles for a good time
And she kills my self-control
She's my man, don't be too sad sonny
'Cause she'll never be your woman no more
Someday soon, this dank lagoon's
Gonna sink right into hell
They'll hide you from Big Ida
At the Sho' Enough Hotel
The Ladies of the evening's just
A tombstone in your bed
Well my girl eats a wounded preacher
'tween two loaves of bread
I know she's up to something
But how can I run when she's just
Keel-hauled twenty-on to nothing
I'll stay next to the steel coal oven 'cause
She's my man
And we got all the balls we need
When you taste that pavement
You're amazed
She smells your sympathy
So bye bye ladies
May the best queen hold the crown
For the most bush sold on the levee
My my, how word gets around
She strangles for a good time
And she kills my self-control
She's my man, don't be too sad sonny
'Cause she'll never be your woman no more
All you need's just a fist of a tear-stained bunny
When the good ship comes to town
Who said loves a bitch'll sit next to me honey
Because this old boat's gonna run aground
I don't want to be the burden
Or your jealous bastard
I don't wanna be the Tarzan of your next epic disaster
She's my man
And we got all the balls we need
When you taste that pavement
You're amazed
She smells your sympathy
So bye bye ladies
May the best queen hold the crown
For the most bush sold on the levee
My my, how word gets around
She strangles for a good time
And she kills my self-control
She's my man, don't be too sad sonny
'Cause she'll never be your woman no more
She's my man, can't you feel her comin'
She's my man, she's gonna keep you runnin'
She's my man, she's gonna teach you something
She's me, she's my man
By the lunatic parade
It rains like Revelations
Gonna wash these freaks away
Some girls wanna hold your hand
And some girls like to pray
Well my girl takes her drinks
With dust and rusty razor blades
I wanna tell her that I love it
When she chokes me in the
Backseat of her riverboat 'cause
And we got all the balls we need
When you taste that pavement
You're amazed
She smells your sympathy
So bye bye ladies
May the best queen hold the crown
For the most bush sold on the levee
My my, how word gets around
She strangles for a good time
And she kills my self-control
She's my man, don't be too sad sonny
'Cause she'll never be your woman no more
Gonna sink right into hell
They'll hide you from Big Ida
At the Sho' Enough Hotel
The Ladies of the evening's just
A tombstone in your bed
Well my girl eats a wounded preacher
'tween two loaves of bread
But how can I run when she's just
Keel-hauled twenty-on to nothing
I'll stay next to the steel coal oven 'cause
And we got all the balls we need
When you taste that pavement
You're amazed

So bye bye ladies
May the best queen hold the crown
For the most bush sold on the levee

She's my man, she's gonna keep you runnin'
She's my man, she's gonna teach you something
She's me, she's my man

I should point out that the song needn't be referring to two men in its sexual connotations. When I hear it, I hear it more as a heterosexual Dom/Sub relationship, with possible traces of good ol' Sadomasochism, with the singer being the Sub.
As I lie between these covers I wanna tell her that I love it When she chokes me in the Backseat of her riverboat
She has the power (the balls, if you will) in the relationship, and would be the Top in any sex act.
I guess my analysis could refer to a homosexual relationship as well, but I picture the one he's talking about being a Dom woman.
dedicated to a butch? i LOVE this song. classic scissos sisters.

I checked out the Annie Christmas item. It appears to be correct. They even teach Annie Christmas to third graders as a metaphor for strength.
So the song appears to be about liking a very butch woman who's so butch she's like Annie Christmas. Annie Christmas had a mustache. And she used to drive a boat in New Orleans. she was so strong she lifted bails of hail and Mike Fink came up to her and told her she shouldn't be working bailing hay but instead at home sewing like a woman should. She Threw the bail of hay in the river and it caused a tital wave 150 ft ft high and carried Mike Fink all the way to Nantuckett. In other words, this is a hard job but Annie was the best at it, better than any man so f*ck off.
i love this song it is so jake shears... i like this cd alot more than the first
I would really like to know what this song is about. And what has it got to do with the video clip?
This has got to be my favorite song on the album! It just never gets old no matter how much I listen to it. I love how the vocals sound, especially at the beginning of the verses. I think the title says it all....
My friend made me listen to this, and I love it! Usually she has horrible taste. Not this time!
Video is bitchin'
This song is actually about a cross-dressing pirate named Annie Christmas, she was a murderer in New Orleans
No one was thinking... a relationship with a transgender person?
Umm... I think this song is sortuv a tribute to New Orleans, LA. "..most bush sold on the levee..." and "...muddy stilts..." It seems its a reference to the party lifestyle of the city. Perhaps even Southern Decadence (look it up if you don't know).
