Billy Lyrics - Nik Kershaw

Billy is a new man, he does the best he can 

to figure out what it's about and what thehell he's meant to be. 

He does the right thing when expected, nuff 

respect , once in a while he likes a smoke and a joke, just as long as it's P.C. 

And he thinks that he cries at the Movies 

'Cos he's in touch with his feminine side 

Sally wants a proud man 

Sally wants a proud man 

Sally wants a proud man 

But she's taken all his pride 

Billy is a new man, at least when she's around,a model father or if needed, he'll 

be mother for the day, 

He watches "Men Behaving Badly" though 

he'll gladly switch it off if she's offended 

he'll pretend it wasn't funny any way 

He's got one face he keeps for his woman 

And one for when he's out with the guys 

Sally wants a true man 

Sally wants a true man 

Sally wants a true man 

But he's living out a lie 

Better go and find an analyst, or something 

time for sorting out his head 

Better go and find a book to read about it 

just like his daddy never did 

And he reads Marie Claire at the Doctors just 

in case there is something he should know 

Sally wants a free man 

Sally wants a free man 

Sally wants a free man 

But she will not let him go 

Billy is confused, he feels abusive and abused 

he's got one hand on an olive branch 

the other on his crotch 

He drives a sensible coupe, he thinks Oasis 

are OK, he drinks non alcoholic lager though 

he'd rather drink a scotch 

And he tries very hard to be happy but there 

are a few little things in the way 

Billy wants a good girl and a bad girl and ablonde girl, and a brunette or a Bond girl and 

a house maid and a teas maid and a Frenchmaid, yes a sex aid, and a Goddess and aconfidante, a wet nurse and an agony aunt, 

a lover, mother, baby sitter, a young girl with a 

pretty face and smart but not too smart to love 

an arsehole, yeah, an arsehole, Billy wants to be 

an arsehole, singin' 

Billy wants it all now 

Billy wants it all now 

Billy wants it all now 

But he's too ashamed to say 

And 

Sally wants a Superman 

Sally wants a Superman 

Sally wants a Superman 

She hasn't got a chance
