This is one of my favorite pictures from Paul, a perfect capture, perfectly apped, iphonism at its zenith.
Jobriath—I’m A Man (live)
I maman
So I’m an elegant man
I’m a man
Clara bowes and open toes
Are what I am
Yes I maman
Yea I’m a fragile man
I’m a man
Light of step and soft of touch
A gentle man
You know I could love you
But if I should love you
Then I would love you
The way a man loves a woman
And live my life like been livin’ it
My body claims my mind and soul so let me be
What I am
An elegant man
Yes I maman
So I’m a graceful man
I’m a man
Pierrots and spaceous clothes
Are what I am
You know I could love you
But if I should love you
Then I would love you
The way a man loves a woman
And live my life like been livin’ it
My body claims my mind and soul so let me be
What I am
An elegant man
Yes I maman and I could love you
I saw Jobriath in 1974 in a small club in San Francisco. He was enormously talented and died quite young of AIDS. He also wrote one of my favorite love songs of all time, “Inside.”
