I'm A Man
Pulp · This Is Hardcore
Laid here.
With the advertising sliding past my eyes.
Like cartoons.
From other proples lives.
I sart to wonder.
What It takes to be a man.
Well I've learned to drink
And I've learned to smoke.
And I've learned to tell a Dirty joke.
Oh If thats all there is then theres no point for me.
So please can ask just why we're alive.
When all that you do seems such a waste of time.
And if you hang around too long you'll be a man.
Tell me about it.
Your car can do up to one hundred and ten.
You know where to go but you'll go there again.
And nothing makes a difference to a man.
Saw you stubling in to town with your stomach in.
To show them what you've got though they've seen everything.
Yeah you're a beuty but they've seen it all before.
You've got the lead.
But still you want.
To go and book at restaurants.
Well I'm a fool.
And the you just fly away.
So please can ask just why we're alive.
When all that you do seems such a waste of time.
And if you hang around too long you'll be a man.
Tell me about it.
Your car can do up to one hundred and ten.

I'm A Man - Pulp
Released on the 1992 album This Is Hardcore, 'I'm A Man' is a defining track of the Britpop era, characterized by its driving rhythm and the distinctive vocals of Thighpaulsandra. The song exemplifies the band's ability to blend pop sensibilities with darker, more introspective themes, a hallmark of their discography. Its inclusion on This Is Hardcore, a collection of material often associated with the band's more experimental and raw side, highlights the versatility within their catalog. The track remains a staple of their live performances and has cemented its place in the cultural memory of the early 1990s music scene, reflecting the anxieties and identities explored in their broader body of work.
