Biography

Divine was a character created by American actor, singer and drag queen Harris Glenn Milstead (October 19, 1945 – March 7, 1988). Harris Glenn Milstead's drag character Divine is most famous by their roles in John Waters films such as "Pink Flamingos," "Female Trouble," "Polyester" and Hairspray. In early 1970's Divine appeared in several avant-garde performances alongside San Francisco drag collective, The Cockettes, and later performed in Tom Eyen's off-Broadway plays "Women Behind Bars" and "The Neon Woman." In 1982, American composer Bobby Orlando wrote a number of Hi-NRG singles for Divine, including "Native Love (Step By Step)," "Shoot Your Shot" and "Love Reaction." Later in the 1980's Divine achieved global chart success with the Barry Evangeli and Stock Aitken & Waterman produced singles "You Think You're a Man," and "I'm So Beautiful." Harris Glenn Milstead died aged 42 from cardiomegaly three weeks after the premiere of "Hairspray." After not showing up to shoot on the set of "Married With Children," he was found dead in his hotel room. Divine was described by People magazine as the "Drag Queen of the Century."

LYRICS

Oh how she tried to cut him down to sizeTelling dirty lies to his friendsBut his own father said give her up, don't botherThe world isn't coming to and end, he said..."Walk like a man, talk like a man my sonNo woman's worth crawling on the earth so walk like a man my son"Bye baby, I don't mean maybeGonna get along somehowSoon she'll be crying on account of all her lyingOh yeah just look who's laughing now. He's gonna...Walk like a man, fast as he can, walk like a man from youHe'll tell the world "Forget about it girl, I'd walk like a man from you."Oh how she tried to cut him down to sizeTelling dirty lies to his friendsBut his own father said give her up, don't botherThe world isn't coming to and end, he said...Walk like a man, talk like a man my sonNo woman's worth crawling on the earth so walk like a man my son
