I'm So Free Lyrics
Yes I'm Mother Nature's son
And I'm the only one
I do what I want and I want what I see
Could only happen to me
I'm so free, I'm so free
Oh please, Saint Germaine
I have come this way
Do you remember the shape I was in
I had horns and fins
I'm so free, I'm so free
Do you remember the silver walks
You used to shiver and I used to talk
Then we went down to Times Square
And ever since I've been hanging around there
I'm so free, I'm so free
Yes I'm Mother Nature's son
And I'm the only one
I do what I want and I want what I see
Could only happen to me
I'm so free, I'm so free
Oh - oh - oh, I'm so free, I'm so free
When I feel good, I'm so free ...
Early in the morning, I'm so free
Late in the evening, I'm so free, I'm so free ...
And I'm the only one
I do what I want and I want what I see
Could only happen to me
I have come this way
Do you remember the shape I was in
I had horns and fins
You used to shiver and I used to talk
Then we went down to Times Square
And ever since I've been hanging around there
And I'm the only one
I do what I want and I want what I see
Could only happen to me
When I feel good, I'm so free ...
Early in the morning, I'm so free
Late in the evening, I'm so free, I'm so free ...

Ah, I like to think it's about feeling good without taking drugs.
i used to think this was autobiographical too but i had a realisation
now - especially if you listen to the whole album - most of it is sorta reporting from the streets not really autobiog and i now think this song is another of lou's critiques of a subculture/stereotype
its about hippies - i dont think lou really likes hippies
hes ny east coast and hippies tend to be more west coast california
(ive never been to usa in my life - but you know what im mean;)
hes taking the piss outa hippie- types in the song its quite a well crafted funny song if looked at like this
he's really ripping it going ooh look at me - im so free la de da de da da!!!!!
keeping in tone with the album and the beatles' reference makes me think this song is a bit more existential...putting down people who try so hard. hippies or anyone who buys into something like that and tries to be 'something' instead
wish i could expand better
Could've sworn the lyrics were:
Do you remember the shape I was in I had horns and fins
Feeling better now that I have the drugs.
