Coming Out Large
A.K.A Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He's Coming Out He's Coming Out He's Coming Out
He's gonna leave this town right away
He's Coming Out He's Coming Out He's Coming Out
He's just

Walkin' round the city such a long way to go
Got a pencil in his pocket & a rock & roll melody
Passing many sections of the good & bad
Many sections of the city & the people gone mad

He's Coming Out He's Coming Out He's Coming Out
He's gonna leave this town right away
He's Coming Out He's Coming Out He's Coming Out

He's just always tryin' to get ahead
Just to mad to do it all again
He'd be putting on a different shoe
Looks like he's coming out, Oooooooo

He's Coming Out He's Coming Out He's Coming Out
He's gonna leave this town right away
He's Coming Out He's Coming Out He's Coming Out

He's still walkin' round the city such a long way to go
Got a pencil in his pocket & the same old melody
Passing many sections of the good & bad
Many sections of the city & the people gone mad

He's Coming Out He's Coming Out He's Coming Out
He's gonna leave this town right away
He's Coming Out He's Coming Out He's Coming Out

He's just always tryin' to get ahead
Just too mad to do it all again
Looks like he's gone and lost his shoe
Or was it someone else's shoe
Always tryin' to get ahead
Just too mad to do it all again




He'd be putting on a different shoe
Looks like he's coming out, Oooooooo

Wicked, around the late 90ies you could find all the Straight up records in second hand stores for next to nothing in mint condition. Then all of a sudden overnight they all disappeared and 5 years later a few reappeared at $100.....DAMN!!! The same thing happened with the Mad As A Hatter ep
