Son and Daughter (Live At The Rainbow, London / November 1974) Lyrics

This is a number called "Son And Daughter"

(I want you)
So watch out

Tried to be your son and daughter
Rolled into one, yes I did

You said you'd equal any man
For havin' your fun

Ooh, now didn't you feel surprise to find
The cap just didn't fit?
The world expects a man
To buckle down and to shovel shit
What'll you do for loving
If it's only just begun? Yeah

(I want you) to be a woman

Well, I tried to be a teacher
And a fisher of men

An equal people preacher
Will you lead us all the same?

Well, I travelled around the world
And found a brand new word for day
Watchin' the time never linger behind
Pardon me, I have to get away

What'll you do for heaven
If it's back from where you came?
Listen

(I want you)
And then what? (be a woman)
To be a woman
I want you to be a woman
