UPTOWN GUY (Grantaire, Seed of Hanged Men)

This queer/wizarding cover is Grantaire's image song in El semen de los ahorcados. In it he emphasizes the social gap between himself and Enjolras, but also hope that he will get some attention...

Uptown guy
he's been living in an uptown sky
I bet he's never had a backstreet guy
I bet his parents never told him why
I'm gonna try for an

Uptown guy
he's been living in his pure-blood sky
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now, he's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am


And when he knows what he wants from his ti-i-me
And when he wakes up and makes up his mi-i-ind

he'll see I'm not so tough
Just because 

I'm in love with an

Uptown guy
You know I've seen him in his pure-blood sky
he's getting tired of all high class toys
And all the presents from such uptown boys
he's got a choice

Uptown guy
You know I can't afford to catch his eye
But maybe, someday, when my ship comes in
he'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win


And when he's walking, he's looking so fi-i-ine
And when he's talking, he'll say that he's mi-i-ine

he'll say I'm not so tough
Just because 

I'm in love with an

Uptown guy
he's been living in his pure-blood sky
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now, he's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am


Uptown guy, he's my uptown guy
You know I'm in love with an uptown guy, my uptown guy...
