When a Man is in Love With a Man

Of Montreal · The Bird Who Continues to Eat the Rabbit's Flower [1998]

Now a man loving a woman that's a very common thing

Common but beautiful all the same

Still there's something very neat, something so extraordinarily sweet

With a man who's in love with a man



I have nothing to say about the traditional ways

They're fine if they work well for you

But there is something so right so completely out of sight

With a man who's in love with a man



Or a woman who's in love with a woman

They should never feel ashamed

Because it's so important to do the things we want

With whoever turns us on



Now a man desiring a woman that's a very common thing

Common and really rather dull

There is something so strange something so wonderfully deranged

In a man desiring a man



Or a woman desiring a woman

They should never feel ashamed

Because it's so important to do the things we want

With whoever turns us on



Men are usually fighting each other

That's why I think it's so special

When a man and a man are in love

It's so good, it's so special



Now a man kissing a woman is a very common thing

Common but usually quite nice

Still there is something so fine, so beautifully divine

In a man kissing a man

A man kissing a man
