Lyrics
Upon the sand, upon the bay
"There is a quick and easy way" you say
Before you illustrate
I'd rather state
I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am
And sorrow's native son
He will not smile for anyone
And pretty girls make graves
End of the pier, end of the bay
You tug my arm, and say "give in to lust
Give up to lust, oh heaven knows we'll
Soon be dust"
Oh, I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am
And sorrow's native son
He will not rise for anyone
And pretty girls make graves
(Oh, really?)
I could have been wild and I could have been free
But nature played this trick on me
She wants it now
And she will not wait
But she's too rough
And I'm too delicate
Then, on the sand
Another man, he takes her hand
A smile lights up her stupid face
(And well, it would)
I lost my faith in womanhood
I lost my faith in womanhood
I lost my faith
Hand in glove
The sun shines out of our behinds

This is one of Rourke's easier lines (in fact, I can sing and play this one despite the weird rhythmic phrasing). However, it is what he does with that simplicity in this that truly blows my mind. Sometimes he ends the call and answer affect with thirds instead of the octaves and it sounds fucking amazeballs.

The French have the concept of jolie laide, which means "pretty ugly." A jolie laide woman has features that aren't considered conventionally attractive, but she's still alluring. A good example is the actress Charlotte Gainsbourg.
