Lyrics

[00:02.346] How to spot an invert
[00:04.298] Amongst the vertebrates:
[00:13.848] Good grooming
[00:15.731] A tidy bedroom
[00:18.197] Never married
[00:19.906] And working in the arts
[00:23.581] A bitchy sense of humour
[00:25.769] Inordinately colourful scarves
[00:30.671] Loose gestures
[00:32.468] A wardrobe full of Helmut Lang
[00:35.498] A dangling limp wrist
[00:37.902] A talent for interior design
[00:42.024] He has a taste for Latin poetry of the Silver Age
[00:46.479] Indulges privately on the heath with unknown youths
[00:51.582] In Spartan sports
[00:54.013] And ‘the unspeakable vice of the Greeks’
[00:59.347] Likes show tunes
[01:00.494] Counts hairdressers amongst his closest friends
[01:03.650] Is umbilically attached to his mother
[01:08.497] He is careful to conceal at all times his real age
[01:13.252] Is always florid, flamboyant, pale and interesting
[01:18.459] Too good to be true
[01:20.920] But this could be you
[01:23.414] The invert, our hero, is the male sex, release 2.0
[01:30.718] Upgrade today!
[01:33.074] You too may be gay
