Androgynous Lyrics

Artist: The Replacements
Album: Let It Be

Here come Dick, he's wearing a skirt
Here comes Jane, y'know she's sporting a chain
Same hair, revolution
Same build, evolution
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss

And they love each other so
Androgynous
Closer than you know, love each other so
Androgynous

Don't get him wrong and don't get him mad
He might be a father, but he sure ain't a dad
And she don't need advice that'll center her
She's happy with the way she looks
She's happy with her gender

Mirror image, see no damage
See no evil at all
Kewpie dolls and urine stalls
Will be laughed at
The way you're laughed at now

Now, something meets Boy, and something meets Girl
They both look the same
They're overjoyed in this world
Same hair, revolution
Unisex, evolution
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss
And tomorrow Dick is wearing pants
And tomorrow Janie's wearing a dress
Future outcasts and they don't last
And today, the people dress the way that they please
The way they tried to do in the last centuries

ONE of the best, but truly so touching. It amazes me how truly archetypal this band was at that wild time. Not to mention how crazy they were...!

I'm pretty sure it's "advice that is sent to her"

by Bruce Davis on 3/14/2012 7:38pm
And it's definitely "urinal stalls," not "urine stalls."

And if you want some real trivia, the last words Paul says at the end of the song, under his breath, are "Jefferson's Cock."

how about "advice in that center"—like a psychological clinic, which in the 80s in Minn. might clearly have taken her clothing choices to be signs of mental illness

Saw them at Bumbershoot in Seattle last night. (Saw them last in, like, 1986!) they did this song, and it was just as poignant to me as it was when I was in college.
