Same Same But Different 1:30
Music & lyrics: Peter Öjerskog
You wanted a girl
But you got a katoey
You wanted a man
But you got a tomboy
SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT
THAT’S WHAT THAI SAY
TO GET AWAY
SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT
You wanted a girl
But you got a tomboy
You wanted a man
But you got a katoey

Lyrics inspired by the Thai expression “same same but different”, an expression for not doing exactly the right thing, often visible on T-shirts in Pattaya. Katoey = man who wants to be a woman. Tomboy = woman who wants to be a man.
Music inspired by Lovin’ Spoonful’s Daydream and Glen Campbell’s Gentle On My Mind.
