I'm Not Following You - Edwyn Collins

Women may love me, but I don’t love women

At least not collectively

Some men admire me and others despise me

The feeling is mutual, I’m sure you’ll agree

Some men go for supermodels

Others, Reader’s Wives

Some men deal in high finance

Whilst others deal in lives

I’m not following you

Here are the manuals

A table of contents

Alpha to Zeta, it’s all Greek to me

In these new dark ages

When counterfeit sages

Are looked on as beacons

It’s something to see

I’m not following you

The Oxbridge fraternity rotters convention

That bone of contention

I’m sorry I mentioned

Consensus, consensus

The senseless consensus

The more than my jobsworth

The dumb and defenseless

The lambs to the slaughter

The dead in the water

Achievers and plodders

The cannons the fodder

The assault on the senses

The re-vamped the wily

The sorry to mention

The rather not say

The dead and the dying

The fish they are frying

The ball needs a bladder

The helmet, a visor

Advised her to sell up and slip out of here

The Knights of the Templar

The violent distemper

The Marvin Rainwater

The Johnny Sincere

The Same

Can you repeat the question?
