lyrics

You’re not the right type of queer
There is no question or doubt about it
And so you’ll sing me a song about it
You’re not the right type of queer

And though you’re surely a freak
Still you’ve not found the place you seek
And despite how circumstances may appear
You’re not the right type of queer

You ask me why
I don’t know why
Mine’s just an answer that
Belief, in turn, defies

And though the world takes all kinds
It’s a conclusion you’ve yet to find
Somehow words rarely come to mind
Although the world takes all kinds

And through the surface I scratch
A category to find a match
A glowing gem to justify the rhyme
Because the world takes all kinds

And now we’ve come to the end
Another story, a fence to mend
Another mystery, we can’t pretend
Because we’ve come to the end

And though we’ve listened this far
With our attention left at the bar
You’ve surely up and gone around the bend
And now we’ve come to the end

Shake well, add a sardonic sense of humor, and you’ve got Polythene Pam. ... more
