I'm Ready - Lyrics - Jandek

Jandek is the musical project of Sterling Richard Smith, an outsider musician who operates out of Houston, Texas. Since 1978, Jandek has self-released over 70 albums of unusual, often emotionally dissolute folk and blues songs without ever granting more than the occasional interview or providing any biographical information. Jandek often plays a highly idiosyncratic and frequently atonal form of folk and blues music, often using an open and unconventional chord structure. Jandek's music is unique, but the lyrics closely mirror the country blues and folk traditions of East Texas. The name "Jandek" is most commonly used to refer specifically to the mainâoften soleâperformer, rather than to the project.

If you want to know why you're a woman It's 'cause you don't want to be a man Yeah, just wanna have one You know I have fantasies about you Laying down, saying Just come on You can't be that unkind Playing tricks on my mind I just steal away ??? by the bleachers Watch the door slam on in my face I think a brick is cracking I think a window's broken I see your face in every feature Your hand in every glove Girls don't wanna be a man, just want to have one You know I'm captured in your theater And I still don't know what goes on below But if you got to be with him I'll say goodbye You wonder why I'm a man Oh, 'cause I don't want to be a woman I just wanna have one
