Patrick Wolf - A Boy Like Me Lyrics

nostalgia

Lyrics
A boy like me is told
He is both nine and ninety
And a boy like me
Should shut those books
Join the army
And a boy like me
Would never be seen
Fighting for peace
I want total chaos
And a holiday home in the east

And a boy like me
Should know much better than
To raise his flag in stormy weather
I just can't get enough electric shocks
I wanna buy a lighthouse
And ride a giraffe on the rocks

I don't give up

I want two dogs
Two cats
A big kitchen
And a welcome mat

I want all this
And all I shall have
Oh no, I don't give up

A boy like me
Don't ever give up
Give up his dream
No

i want two dogs two cats a big kitchen and welcome mat

What movie was it with the group

what does this song mean

The boy who cried..... Wolf loveLoveLOVE

I like it. It's intense, it' simple but complex at once. Opposite of Easy listening. Demanding listening is better anyway

A boy like me ..............
Complete this sentence, be creative and have fun.

Right, can someone actually tell me here, is he gay or are you just being trolls? Don't troll this! wikipedia tells the truth you know :D

Whats with the obsession of capital letters xD

Jovunti Forrester nooobody knows

thats what brought me here

I´m not sure but he is Bisex i guess......buh

You guys are so lucky, he´s so amazing :´)

2 Dogs 2 Cats A Big Kitchen And A Welcome Mat From Unloved Got My Attention And Led Me To This Song

in soundtrack for THE UNLOVED

In that case i should have said: No matter how much time you spend looking at his picture you ain't gonna see inside his clothes! it's the goddamn nature of things :p

He is gay... And i can look all I want because: I'M A GAY BOY.

if you are a boy, stop looking so much at patrick's picture, if you're a girl, i'm sorry but i think he's gay.. i'm sure you'll get over it though! :)

i want his coat!

madonna monroe me too

His band is BAF

I don't like him!!!!! He's ugly and he's

Then why are you watching this?

I'll give you two dogs, two cats, a big kitchen and a welcome mat.
Love me.
;_;

i want 2 dogs 2 cats a big kitchen and a wellcome mat too!
only thing is i also want
2 Ferraris 2 old Bentleys 2 MV Agustas a couple of Manx Nortons
8 Wives 7 girlfriends lots of houses obviously,
typeing this here, does this constitute a message to the universe?!

love the hair

I heard this song on the movie "The unloved"

a girl like me loves a boy like him <3

beat is dunce

The intro always reminds me of OutKast especially the backing vocals

i looooooooove you PATRICK kisses from a brazilian fan you are so goood i remenber you concert all the time in WASHINGTON DC the best concert in my life please come back love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....

It is zooming.

odd ball, trying to be david bowie and it aint working

@pennypyro42 - Either that or Mary Queen of Shops.

love this song<3

nananananana... nananananana ..... nanananana

I think if Draco Malfoy and, say Ginny Weasley had a kid together he would look like this picture of Patrick Wolf.

@kamahi
So, it's okay to disapprove of his music, but then in the same breath you say it's not to? Wow, you're fucking stupid.

@kamahi
What does that mean? I'm gay too, and I dislike his music. Isn't it possible to dislike someone's work even if they're gay? Frankly, you're the biased one.

@kirika20
But...this guys is gay.

@Greywolf3
Nothing, and neither have you. I was merely expressing my disdain for this "music".

@DanieleGiorgino what a rude comment, what have you done in your own life to approach what he has accomplished?

ME encanto

@ehhiii His amazing bone structure is messing with your mind.

chamarra tipo brandon flowers

all the good ones are always gay...

Fucking amazingly talented boii,
I want 2 dogs 2 cats a big kitchen and a welcome mat <3

the picture is getting bigger !

I have 2 dogs :D

i really like this coat

big boy beat!

@DizzeeDaz2k5 i knew the song before that but isnt that film Amazing!!?

@TheMowingMagician i was just contemplating it!

@ASHxMCDxISxMINE Oh yeah! It gets bigger (:

@ehhiii no, you're just on acid

@ehhiii no, you're just on acid

@ehhiii no, you're just on acid

heyyy what this style music ?

Is the picture moving a bit? Like, zooming in and out..
Or.. are ll the awesome sounds fucking with my mind :$

so did i when i 1st heard it hahah

rubbish jk its super rubbish

He doesn't like to label himself. Right now he is with a guy, has been for two years but doesn't want to be called exclusively. Basically he is bisexual but doesn't like the term.

lmao how does a quote go from wanting to ride a giraffe and wanting to BE one? :\

It is when you're barely over 5 feet.

is he gay? hes so fine

its not HOLYCRAP YOURE HUGE but it is noticabley (dunno how you spell that) tall

I think he said it's about wanting to ride a giraffe, not be one. Something about how he relates to them because he's tall and likes yellow? Lol.

Great song.... I <3 Patrick Wolf!

I don't like his voice or... the music in particualar, but the lyrics are amazing.

I just found out how tall he is!!!

I want to know how tall he is! I know hes tall but how tall?!?!?

I also heard this in 'The Unloved'. Such a sad film. This track is amazing :)

This is what the future sounds like in a very primative and raw state.

I heard it in the fillm Unloved. Love it tho. amazing song ! :) \m/

i found this on unloved too! thought it was amazing...

this was on 'unloved' last night on channel 4! good song

He is pansexual meaning that he falls in love with people regardless of gender.

what is a pansexual?

i dont think he would ever have to *come out*

Yeap...and he is/was kind of purposefully vague about his sexuality, for the same reason, that people wouldn't classify his music that way...personally, I think he is flippin AMAZING...I love all of his music, his style and mood...I love all of it...and who he is with, doesn't matter to me one bit. :P

He has admitted he is gay, and openly talks about his boyfriend nowadays. Many gay people don't come out until they meet someone with whom they want to have a serious relationship.

is he gay im not saying he is i just got toold he was but he is amasing

Awesomeness.

sexyfull....
