Intro          I’ve seen these people described as mad But find men kissing too odd Say all their friends are gay when in fact They gave a man in tight vest a quick nod And all those threats if you keep kissing They’re gonna go report you to god Yet if Christ really had that many disciples There was probably one of you in his squad And any news you receive would lead you to believe Of the other world little is known So that every gay presenter should really wear a sweater With kids don’t try this at home There are gay men you’ve knocked homophobics clean out When most would have turned and ran Gay men who hate it when they get called queer And gay men who don’t give a damn Some gay men go wearing women’s makeup Just to prove to themselves they can And on the masculine side of this whole wide world There is no 101% man Those who have only seen Gay Pride Think it’s a life long license to shock But men have kissed men since way back when If you were caught you’d be put in a stock And any news you receive would lead you to believe Of the other world little is known So that every gay presenter should really wear a sweater With kids don’t try this at home There are gay men who’ve knocked homophobics clean out When most would have turned and ran Gay men who hate it when they get called queer And gay men who don’t give a damn Some gay men go wearing women’s makeup Just to prove to themselves they can And on the masculine side of this whole wide world There’s no 101% man And when the Tom Robinson band sang "Sing if you’re glad to be gay" We all joined in and though most of us weren’t The song seemed to show us the way And as the song reached it’s end you looked for the friend that That made singing along feel O.K It aint San Francisco but your end of term disco And the dancefloor’s beginning to sway There are gay who’ve knocked homophobices clean out When most would have turned and ran Gay men who hate it when they get called queer And gay men who don’t give a damn Some gay men go wearing women’s makeup Just to prove to themselves they can And on the masculine side of this whole wide world There’s no 101% man Man

À propos de la chanson

La chanson aborde les préjugés et les stéréotypes autour de l'homosexualité, en soulignant l'hypocrisie de ceux qui critiquent les hommes qui s'embrassent, tout en rappelant que l'amour entre hommes existe depuis longtemps. Elle pose aussi la question de l'identité masculine, en affirmant qu'il n'existe pas de modèle unique de ce que cela signifie d'être un homme. À travers des références historiques et culturelles, l'auteur évoque la diversité des expériences et des expressions de la masculinité, tout en critiquant la facilité avec laquelle certains jugent les autres. Le message est que chacun est libre d'exprimer son identité sans crainte du jugement, et cela résonne particulièrement dans un monde où les normes sont souvent rigides. C'est une célébration de la diversité et un appel à l'acceptation, soulignant l'idée qu'au fond, nous sommes tous humains, peu importe notre orientation ou notre manière de vivre.
