(I could never be)your woman white town (with lyrics)

[TheBAcOnaTeRRR420]

This song was made as a fluke, its basically a 1 man band, the name comes from him growing up an indian boy in a white town!!

[MrGiaf]

Is this song about a transvestite? Cause I know a tranny I could recommend this to. I bet he/she goes through these feelings all the time.

[MrJoseluiz39]

your woman in spanich tu mujer is good video

[emmainreallife]

love this song. <3

[dake222]

Wie geht's

[Bahia234]

@dake222 gut gut

und selbst

[jellylover4ever]

Cut The Wo :(

[AnnadeSon]

Does somebody knows where could I find Your Woman but the Star Wars remix?It is sooooo cool...

[mmmPlE]

It is about his love for a lesbian childhood friend by the way

[ZuckerkuchenTv]

Danke Danke Danke!! Fast vergessen....geiler song :)

[calituchi1]

I CCOUOLD NEVER BE YOUR WOMAN AAAH!!! because I cn\an't spell. :[

[Vitaluv]

I miss the 90s. le sigh. I remember blasting this.

[MyColorfulCrisis]

._. I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG! *o*

[136puppy]

the dudes indian? if my mom heard this song and i told her that the guys indian she would say hes gay cuz indians dont sing these songs and she also says they respect their culture ( since my family and i are indian)

[MsNeverGiveUpXP]

The guy is not gay. This samples a song from the 1930s by British singer Al Bowlly called "My Woman." Jyoti Mishra the, singer, heard it on the Pennies From Heaven soundtrack. Mishra sings the song from a woman's perspective, making it a rare example of a hit record with a gender reversal. Look it up!

[willowsnsakura]

@MsNeverGiveUpXP oh...I kind of liked that it was guy-to-guy--it made it more interesting, and a lot funnier/more sarcastic ^^;

[MsNeverGiveUpXP]

@MsNeverGiveUpXP i know when i first thought that i loved! i and i thought it was hilarious

[ShainaThe1DerKid]

The artist has reported that the lyrics could stem from or be related to multiple situations. The lyrics could mean "Being a member of an orthodox Trotskyist / Marxist movement. Being a straight guy in love with a lesbian. Being a gay guy in love with a straight man. Being a straight girl in love with a lying, two-timing, fake-ass Marxist. The hypocrisy that results when love and lust get mixed up with highbrow ideals."

[KassyGO]

If you watch the music video you can see that the song is supposed to be the words of a woman.

[catsthateatdogs1198]

The guy is gay. Does that ruin this great piece for anyone? Shame on you if it does.

[soul5v]

I love this song!!!!!! the story of the song is pretty sad though:(

[femmefatale1990]

I completely forgot about this song...and I never realized he was reading his g/f's letter.

[mexifrida]

You guys should help the guy out by buying his new CD at whitetown. co .uk

I think we need to help out good music like this.

[DIZTOMAK]

i love this song

ill be loocking so many times thanks

[eIegantelephant]

Ich kenne das Lied eigentlich schon länger, doch habe gerade den Film gesehen und hatte gerade lust das Lied in voller Länge zu geniessen :D

[holmesfever]

DDDAAANNNKKKEEE! Du kannst dir gar nicht vorstellen wie glücklich ich bin, dass du das Lied hochgeladen hast! *Hurra! Freu!* Tausend Dank! Als kleines Mädchen habe ich einmal bei Regen im Auto gewartet (meine Mutter war nach einer langen Shopping-Tour gerade unterwegs, um uns etwas zum Essen zu holen) und im Radio wurde dieses Lied gespielt. Bis heute habe ich verzweifelt danach gesucht! Vielen Dank nochmals! :)

[morticianman24]

Were the hell are these guys now?

[glassXmoon]

oops hehe when I first heard this song I was wondering what he meant by "I could never be your women". These comments cleared the confusion, thanx! x3

[B0urBen]

honestly i just love the sampled trumpet :D

[ChlorineHeart]

@B0urBen yeah me too

[DOSkywalkR]

oh my gosh, when i was younger and this song was released i always understood "i could never be A woman" and thought the lyrics were like that to this very day xD you learn something new every day ...

[220Brooklyn]

Why does Andrew VanWyngarden tell Veronica Grey this is his favorite song every time she is on her period or has to have laser hair removal?

[MOPAR360CENTURA]

i love this old school tune,cant beat an old classic

[Sina0088]

1997? Damn, I'm getting old...

[Huwelx]

good sensible song :D

[bigmanpaul]

The girl writing the letter is pregnant. At 1:56 she mentions whether his cruelty is genetic, and says that she'll "soon find out", meaning she's going to raise his child.

[SuperDonna1973]

what year was this song released ?

[idudle]

@SuperDonna1973 i googled it.....1997

[whatthehelen1]

when she asks if it's in his genes and then says that she will find out, thats for sure, does that mean she is pregnant???

[ciao7371]

This is a perrfect song for a situation I know of. Girl falls in love with closeted gay guy. He leads her on and he knows she loves him yet he can't come out but she ends up finding out anyways and realizes why. Also love this song because it reminds me of the imperial march darth vaders theme!! This song is an oldie but goodie!!

[Kimmmy1213]

@ciao7371 I went through that situation... i think for a girl that hast to be the worst, you fall in love with a man that loves males :/

[geico1212]

@Kimmmy1213 the guy said he wrote this because he liked a girl who was a lesbian..

[ciao7371]

this is peeeerfect for a situation i know of girl falls in love with a closeted gay guy and she finds out even though he pretends to feel for her, he's "confused"....... love that it reminds me of the imperial march darth vaders theme

[N3ver3nd1]

das ist immer die feige art der frauen um was mit zu teilen...

[StrangeSiliconWorld]

@N3ver3nd1 Was isn an nem Brief feige? Find ich garnid.^^

[stemfish0]

To those who don't know the backround theme that plays from time to time in this song it's a remixed version of the 'Imperial March' theme from Starwars. And is actually sampled from 'Your woman' by White Town

[robotdrews]

the song that made me pick up the oboe.

[overclockeador]

@robotdrews The oboe?, wtf?, for what?

[bcbabygirl23445]

I heard this on the radio and I was thinking...She's got an interesting voice o_o" But I get it now x]

[Delirium24]

I thought that he wrote this song to a lesbian friend he had long been in love with, therefore all the genderbending... Her being "the man", and him being unable/not wanting to be her "woman". I read that somewhere, but I could be wrong...

[cam1lo]

FROM WIKI: The artist has reported that the lyrics could stem from or be related to multiple situations. He says "When I wrote it, I was trying to write a pop song that had more than one perspective. Although it’s written in the first person the character behind that viewpoint isn’t necessarily what the casual listener would expect(...)".

[thatcat0001]

The song implies that the person who wrote the letter is pregnant by the person the letter is written to:

"Is it in your genes? I don't know, but I'll soon find out, that's for sure."

So...

[KiRAsHOSTAGe]

Am I the only one who hears the Empire's Theme music from Star Wars in this song...?

[megaphone69]

@KiRAsHOSTAGe not the only one. 

[regal334]

@KiRAsHOSTAGe yes, you are:D

[FacckUtube]

@KiRAsHOSTAGe yea, I dont hear it..

[CherryIce1114]

@KiRAsHOSTAGe I always heard that too

[clarinetpride42]

@KiRAsHOSTAGe everyone hears it and its also on the "Start Wars Imperial March" wikipedia page.....

[69charger440sixpack]

@KiRAsHOSTAGe I hear it too, mostly because i played it.

[Madikinnsable]

@KiRAsHOSTAGe we do too!! haha

[TAliyahZ9]

I hear it but all songs sound alike.

[KiRAsHOSTAGe]

Am I the only one who hears the star wards theme in this song..? It can't be unheard, by the way,

[SuperWiseyoung88]

i'm glad y'all took time out to explained because the lyrics seemed a bit gay. but i wouldn't care its a great song

[thethreecursedkids]

This song is about a friend he had who was a lesbian when it says " who were such a charming handsome man" that what she said to him

[salemst]

Great distinctive tune--remembered it well from the late 90's.  If it isn't about a woman breaking up with a guy, I don't know what it is. Never knew the lyrics that well, and after reading them for the first time with the music I like this song even more.......deeper than I had thought.

[AMcGrath82]

I hope most of us can at least agree on this: the horn melody is one of the best parts of the song, and it's famous for good reason.

[kztar621]

Girlfriend letter theory=Wrong.

Jyoni said himself that he wrote the song in an ambiguous way to leave the interpretation up to his listeners.

Them a bunch of xenophobic dimwits made up a bunch of theories to deny what the author said himself, that the song pretty much could involve a gay guy or a lesbian if the listener wanted to think so.

Open your minds idiots, truth doesn't come in a little package for you to carry in your pockets, it's way more complex than your stupid human misconceptions.

[MarryXMeXBuryXMe]

@kztar621 It's funny that the first line of this is saying some theory = wrong and then you call everyone idiots for not opening their minds.

[disslb]

coño, im in looooove!!!!!!!

[abgelehnt83]

Habe ich damals wirklich gerne gehört :) 

[romahnae]

what's the other song, where its just the beat..i don't know the name of it..

[fuckoism]

Has anyone noticed thats the Darh Vader theme in the begining and chorus parts???

[Littleluckylink]

@fuckoism

[adryanna56]

[till92snow]

[xXTranquilityXx]

[ShadairetheCat]

this song is based off a letter his girlfiriend sent him and he is singing the letter

[michelle151395]

If you like this song and also hip-hop grime city up beat then you should listen to Wiley version 'never be your woman' that was the ver I first listen to before I found this.

[Kulturforscherin]

kindheitslied :D - da werden erinnerungen wach :P

WEE DOO DEE-DEE DOO DEE-DEE DOO DEE-DEE DOO

WEE DOO DEE-DEE DOO DEE-DEE DOO DEE-DEE DOO

[LovelyWyrd]

Thanks for posting this song! =D The music sounds very Star Wars lol!

[bmwman1981]

[Napstaerhead]

Ich such schon so lange nach dem Titel dieses Songs :'(

Danke

[rm1919mesho]

where can i find this music ???

[BigBoab110]

wileys version is way better than this heap of borin old foagie shit

[users3247]

this was his only hit which he recorded using a £30 microphone, getting to number 1 here in the united kingdom. he then released a follow-up which was so obscure and flopped so much in the charts that i could barely remember what it was called before vanishing completely (to the best of my knowledge) from the music business

[partybeati]

sehr süß.

[mercier0arcenciel]

Hab ich damals echt gern gehört. Toller Song!

[ninyeah]

any1 knows where i can listen to this song in good quality? plz^^

[do0minatrix]

iTunes

[ninyeah]

ahaha itunes sux so bad^^ sry shit on that song ;)

[saxonfield]

To all you desperate women. read the lyrics. You will learn something!!!

[pericksch]

this song kicks ass "esta chingona"

[Remorselesslymine]

I love listening to this song while posting on Stormfront!

+5

[cscac]

here you go genius. "The person who wrote the song was Indian immigrant Jyoti Mishra, who had formed White Town in 1989 in London, England, but only as a one-man band project of White Town."

[SoleroExotic]

damn, i LOVE this song! i heart it yesterday for the very first time, i knew immediately it was special! got stuck in my head

[HoldTheWheelAndDrive]

Hammersong

all time fav.

[Laurinnha]

is this song in instrumental just somewhere? sorry bad englsh im hungarian :) thnks

[Hardrockstorm]

vollkommen geil...a all time evergreen !!!

[astraaa0406]

woman, sorry ;p

[astraaa0406]

yeah, I could never be your women!!! ;)

[slayerdearly]

this song takes me back to when this song came out(summer 97)such a grate time with grate music like this and Animaniacs to(I was hooked on it back when this was new)

[BlueSmurf10]

If you're all that desperate to find a meeting for it, check out Jtyoti Mishra's website - he answers a lot of questions about the song there.

[melvinhendrikse]

I don't understand what all the fuss is about. Ussually songs can be inturpeted in many diffrent levels. Reffering to the artist as gay says more about you than it does about the artist...

And as far as I concern gay people not often refer to themselves as women... if that were the case he were likely to sing I could never be your man anyway...

[Vitaluv]

This takes me back to the days when music was at the end of being the very best. Bergman and Bogey will always have paris but us gen xers and gen yers will always have the nineties. Great song.

[Boney1Kanobe]

He is reading a letter out loud from his girlfriend you muppets hes not a bender!!

[nudracr]

@Boney1Kanobe oh cool cool I was so afraid to enjoy this song, lol

[joruva]

it doesnt matter if he is gay or not...a great tune anyway...come on boys!!!

[alena8899]

cool

[AndreaMann]

both versions are possible..the author never gave an explication

[stigo28]

great song then and now

[tommyhicks2]

think mickeymoo's got the scoop this song...

[LasFrambuesas]

i used to love this song when i was younger haha it brings me a lot of memories!

[bulbasur1]

good song

[Rockart9]

i remember this song! it had an awesome video too... too bad youtube keeps deleting them

[ilent1]

this song is pretty awesome but wtf is it about? Did he get someone pregnant and then left her?

[Sorachi222]

about this woman who wants to have a relationship with some guy, but he doesnt want her, and by the end of the video, she relizes she doesnt want him anymore, and its not worth it.

[jeboshifru]

noup. it's about a gay boy in love with a boy who turned out to be straight :D.

[villyanv123]

dis song is awesome:) the singer too.

[mitsumivec4life]

Very awesome song! :-)

[littleevillp]

When he was young, he fell in love with a lesbian friend of his. That's what inspired the song.

[futureboyzi]

How could you know that? Is it true?

the song is so awesome

[littleevillp]

It's true. I looked him up. White Town isn't actually a band. It's just one man, Jyoti Prakash Mishra. Interesting fact, he was born in India but moved to England at the age of 3. He uses the name White Town because growing up, his family were the only people of color and he always felt uncomfortable. Hence, he lived in a "White Town".

[BingDar]

is he a transvestite or something? why is he singing about being a woman?

[jeboshifru]

he is gay. He is in love with a hetero guy. so, he loves him, but it's useless, he could never be his woman.

[mickeymoo01]

no he is not gay he told people that he wrote it in this way:

a girl wrote a broke up letter to her boyfriend and so the guy is reading it aloud but in a song way

[blackshadow016]

@mickeymoo01 so sad ...

[36nontoxic]

i've loved this song FOREVER,

and it never dawned on me that that could be the explanation until very recently,

good job jeboshifru

[LJ009GREEN]

yer iz dat a gay fella singin about a man or waa cz da jus puts me off the song?

[LJ009GREEN]

Ed wont am failin to see the comparison meself ne1 agree?

[pechlivani]

das ist Spitze ! vielen dank !

[StaceyDashFan]

Das Video ist aber nicht extra für den Film aufgenommen worden& es gab es doch schon vorher, oder? xD

Ich mag es<3

[lyssssssx3]

does anyone know another song that uses this back beat? cuz i think there is but im not sure..

[EdWont]

It sounds a great deal like, "Annie, are you OK?" by the late Michael Jackson.

[EdWont]

Sorry..."Smooth Criminal"

[N4TH4NJ4Y]

lyssssssx3: The song "Moi, Lolita" by Alizee has pretty much the same tune..

[OlivR93]

Moi Lolita is a fucking french copy song xD But you have right

[MeinnameistDreck]

Su-per! Danke für dieses Video. Und so wahr auch!

[sugarelevator]

Perfect song and very practical lyrics for everyday life...

[UKLadNathan89]

love it

[TheGreekJoker]

i though that the singer was a man at first, seriously... but really...what is it ? man or woman ? either or else i like it sooo f@#kin much :)

[jim2andthru]

I wish I could make a no. 1 single using an analogue 4-track tape mixer! All I could get out of them was scrappy song demo tracks. I loved this song the time it came out. Note the subtle Imperial March lift? Great!

[nexusutube]

That horn sample is from the 1920's so the Imperial March is lifted from that jazz record.

[onlinevadim]

Now I think I finally understand...

[patriciamauricio]

awsome (L)

[samchestercity]

is it true that this was recorded in a bedroom in derby?

[Bahia234]

I don´t know...

[montipython]

@samchestercity

I seem to remember that being true.. I think he used and Amiga for this.??

[damnarrows]

@samchestercity ummm no

[drunkymunky87]

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSS TUUUUUUUUUUUUUNE!!!!!!!!!!XoXo­

[superpana51]

Number one in UK

[Bahia234]
