    [Intro]
    Prince Johnny, you're kind but you're not simple
    By now, I think I know the difference
    You wanna be a son of someone
    [Verse 1]
    Remember the time we went and snorted
    That piece of the Berlin Wall that you'd extorted
    And we had such a laugh of it?
    Prostrate on my carpet
    [Verse 2]
    You traced the Andes with your index
    And brag of when and where and who you gonna bed next
    All with sons of someone's
    All with sons of someone's
    [Chorus 1]
    Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy
    Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy
    [Verse 3]
    Prince Johnny, you're kind, but do be careful
    By now I know just when to stand clear
    When all your friends and acolytes are holding
    Court in bathroom stalls
    [Chorus 2]
    Where you pray to all to make you a real boy
    Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy
    [Bridge]
    But honey, don't mistake my affection
    For another spit-and-penny style redemption
    Cause we're all sons of someone's
    We're all sons of someone's
    I wanna mean more than I mean to you
    I wanna mean more than I meant to him
    [Chorus 3]
    So I pray to all to make me a real girl
    So I pray to all to make me a real girl
    So I pray to all, all, all, all

    I recently discovered St. Vincent, and have been listening to the back catalog. I must say. I haven't felt such excitement and admiration over another musician for over a decade. Such beautiful singing, stunning instrumental playing and great songwriting, very few musicians can successfully ride this profoundly powerful triangle. Thank you so much for all that you have created so far. You have inspired and encouraged me to start writing songs again. If you ever play in the UK, I will be there. I cannot fully express in words how your music has effected me, but at the very least I can say that it has changed my life, and it feels great. You have my love, support and best wishes.

    What a superb, intelligent, talented artist St Vincent is. My personal opinion. Very creative. It's rewarding, interesting, to me that Jack Kerouac's Beat literary fans are still, 50+ years after his death, getting to enjoy art made in his image. I think it's wonderful that he still has an influence.

  • @Wheelsgr
    @Wheelsgr 10 років тому +71

    I'm stuck on how to interpret this song. The allusion to snorting pieces of the Berlin wall and bathroom stalls makes me think of cocaine and two wild friends wheeling through life. Slightly numb and not feeling like they fit in, trying to feel "real" or like the rest. To feel accepted and loved. Wheeling through life and people (when, and where and who you're gonna bed next), there's little stability and the prayers to become a real boy fall on deaf ears (hence the repetition, the prayers keep coming). Are the prayers in the form of fleeting intimacies - as in this is the way to belong and to fall in love and become a "real boy"?
    Then at the end Annie wonders if she's another forgettable check in this friend's itinerant life... and because she's also reaching out to belong and feel that love (being a son of someone, belonging to a structure) and she hoped it could be with that person so she could become a "real girl", and she prays too, like the friend, waiting for an answer that the friend is unwilling to give. Is that one way of looking at it..?
