A Boy Like Me Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Haemoglobiner 

Cover art for A Boy Like Me lyrics by Patrick Wolf

I think this song is about gender stereotypes, omgawsh!

It's got an almost sarcastic tone to it. The 'na na na's at the start sound like drunk chanting, like a group of drunks getting ready to mock something.

The lyrics in the first verse refer to stereotypes of boys. Boys shouldn't read, they should be at war. Boys like destruction and chaos, and is unmanly of them to fight for peace. Etc

And the rest of the song is basically saying "Fuck you I'm my own me. I don't have to be like everyone else if I don't want to be, if it is risky (Raise flag/electric shocks/giraffe on rocks) then that is my problem, not yours."

And yeah..

Well that's what I think anyway.

Yay Patrick
