son of man - gg/06 lyrics

[intro]
h*llo edward, edward, h*llo
h*llo, all right, yeah
how did you actually form the group?
how did we form the band? well…

[verse 1]
deep in the past when the world began
and the very first woman and the very last man
gave birth in a cab on a london street
to a child with a whistle and a jackhammer beat
but they erased the child
they erased the man
some fool hit the b*tton by accident
it was over before it even started
all three parents broken*hearted
but the angel of coincidence
took pity on the dead experiment
she breathed into its monkey face
and gave it form and light and pace
slowly out of innocence
a test tube baby that made no sense
came stumbling into the light of day
but the only thing that it could say was

[chorus]
i’m a neanderthal man
you’re a neanderthal girl
let’s make neanderthal love
in this neanderthal–
[verse 2]
world of blues and bubblegum
the man stood out like a sore thumb
yeah, he wasn’t music and he wasn’t art
but he got to number two in the chart
and it bought him a holiday
bought him a car
and turned him into a pop star
but the man got sick with growing pains
and turned into the monster
with three brains
(la la la la la, hey hey)
oh it’s real now
this strong emotion i’m feeling
touching the ghost of a memory
that died a long time ago
here we go now
scratching away at the mystery
boiling the bones of our history
to make this soup
to make this

[chorus]
i’m a neanderthal man
you’re a neanderthal girl
let’s make neanderthal love
in this neanderthal world
[verse 3]
they were joined in time
and joined in sp*ce
and soon to be joined by graham on bass
they returned to the womb to start again
to breed a superior race of men
they worked at night, they hibernated
four into one re*motivated
now full of confidence
the test tube baby was making sense
they were joined at the heart
joined at the hip
working on any old piece of sh*t
for experience and the h*ll of it
fueled by cigarettes and curry
hashish, lack of sleep and worry
they churned out cr*p for pocket money

[bridge]
’cause they knew that there were diamonds
hidden in the trash
and one day they would be revealed
in a blinding flash
but it didn’t come that easy
and it didn’t come that fast
’cause they wanted to unlock the future
but the key was in the past (key was in the past)
were there ufos over manchester?
holy statues crying blood?
when the b side they were knocking off
turned into something good?
did it write itself in half an hour
like all the best ones do?
or was it guided by a higher power
to make the son of man’s dreams
come true?
[chorus]
i’m a neanderthal man
you’re a neanderthal girl (yeah, come true)
let’s make neanderthal love
in this neanderthal world
i’m a neanderthal man
you’re a neanderthal girl
let’s make neanderthal love
in this neanderthal world
i’m a neanderthal man
(so much of anything else which i would have been happy with)
you’re a neanderthal girl
(but i had this hankering to be in a band)
let’s make neanderthal love
(and of course when 10cc came back)
in this neanderthal world
(that was, you know, all my dreams come true)
