Not My Father's Son - 欧美群星

When I was just a kid

Everything I did

Was to be like him

Under my skin

My father always thought

If I was strong and fought

Not like some albatross, I'd begin

To fit in

Look at me, powerless

And holding my breath

Trying hard to repress

What scared him to death

It was never easy

To be his type of man

To breathe freely

Was not in his plan

And the best part of me

Is what he wouldn't see

I'm not my father's son

I'm not the image of what he dreamed of

With the strength of Sparta and the patience of Job

Still couldn't be the one to echo what he'd done

And mirror what was not in me

So I jumped in my dreams

And found an escape

Maybe I went to extremes

Of leather and lace

But the world seemed brighter

Six inches off the ground

And the air seemed lighter

I was profound

And I felt so proud

Just to live out loud

I'm not my father's son

I'm not the image of what he dreamed of

With the strength of Sparta and the patience of Job

Still couldn't be the one to echo what he'd done

And mirror what was not in me

The endless torrent of expectations

Swirling inside my mind wore me down

I came to a realization

And I finally turned around

To see

That I could just be me

I'm not my father's son

I'm not the image of what he dreamed of

With the strength of Sparta and the patience of Job

Still couldn't be the one

To echo what he'd done

And mirror what was not in me

We're the same, Charlie boy, you and me

(Charlie from Northampton, meet Simon from Clapton.

Let's make boots.)
