Kinky Boots the Musical - I'm Not My Father's Son Lyrics
When I was just a kid
Everything i did, was to be like him
Under my skin
My father always thought
If i was strong and fought
Not like some albatross, id begin
To fit in
Look at me powerless and holding my breath
Trying hard to repress what scared him to death
It was not that easy to be his type of man
To breathe freely was not in his plan
And the best part of me
Is what he wouldn't see
I'm not my fathers son
I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
Still couldn't be the one
To echo what he'd done
And mirror what was not in me
So i jumped in my dreams and found an escape
Maybe i went to extremes of leather and lace
But the world seems brighter 6 inches off the ground
And the air seemed lighter
I was profound and i felt so proud
Just to live out loud
I'm not my fathers son
I'm not image of what he dreamed of
With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
Still couldn't be the one
To echo what he'd done
And mirror what was not
In me
The endless story of expectations wiring inside my mind
Wore me down
I came to a realization and i found a way to turn it around
To see
That i could just be me
Charlie:
I'm not my fathers son
I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
Lola:
With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
Charlie/Lola:
Still couldn't be the one
To echo what he'd done
And mirror what was not in me

“Equal parts memoir, whodunnit, and manual for living . . . a beautifully written, honest look at the forces of blood and bone that make us who we are, and how we make ourselves.” —Neil Gaiman

In his unique and engaging voice, the acclaimed actor of stage and screen shares the emotional story of his complicated relationship with his father and the deeply buried family secrets that shaped his life and career.

A beloved star of stage, television, and film—“one of the most fun people in show business” (Time magazine)—Alan Cumming is a successful artist whose diversity and fearlessness is unparalleled. His success masks a painful childhood growing up under the heavy rule of an emotionally and physically abusive father—a relationship that tormented him long into adulthood.

When television producers in the UK approached him to appear on a popular celebrity genealogy show in 2010, Alan enthusiastically agreed. He hoped the show would solve a family mystery involving his maternal grandfather, a celebrated WWII hero who disappeared in the Far East. But as the truth of his family ancestors revealed itself, Alan learned far more than he bargained for about himself, his past, and his own father.
