(music: marillion lyrics: john helmer)      I was taught from the much too young   To never give myself away   Yes I was taught for every secret   There's a price you have to pay      An accident of gender   An accident of birth   That holds me to this point of view   This time and place on earth   This time and place on earth      You ask me how I'm feeling   I only wish you knew   How hard it is for me to share   Share those kind of things with you      It's not that I don't love you   It's just I can't connect   ¡®cause I was taught from much too young   To shine and not reflect      I'm an accidental man      You ask me if I'm happy   I only wish I knew   ¡®cause happiness is not something   That I ever learned to do   It's not that I'm complaining   It's all the same to me   If everything that happens, happens   Accidentally      I'm an accidental man      I was taught for every secret   There's a price you have to pay   I was thought from much too young   To never give myself away      I was born to worthy causes   I was born to take the reins   I was taught from much too young   To never give myself away      An accident of gender   An accident of birth   That holds me to this point of view   This time and place on earth      So try and understand if   I don't say all I can   A stranger to myself I am   An accidental man      I'm an accident   I'm an accidental man
