PRETTY PEOPLE BY RENU


VERSE 1
PRETTY PEOPLE OF UGLY STREETS
BIG CHIEFS WITH HANDKERCHIEFS
PUFFY EYES AND PUFFY SKIRTS
A BIG RUSE AT JAGUAR SHOES
BLOODY BATHTUBS
SWOLLEN LIPS
BROKEN TEETH
AND CROOKED HIPS
AND YOUUUUUUUUU.

CHORUS 1
PRETTY PEOPLE OF UGLY STREETS
AMOUR AMOUR AMOUR
DANCING IN 2ND HAND SHOES
VINTAGE SMILES
AND FAKE TATTOOS

VERSE 2
PENCHANT FOR PENDANTS
I WANT MORE! MORE! MORE!
THE LOOK ON THEIR FACES
ALL SAD, SULLEN AND DRY
ALL THESE FACES I RECOGNISE
I _KNOW_ NOT SOON_
WILL_ ALL_ ONE_ DAY_ DIIIIIIIE
WE NEED A LITTLE ROCK AND ROLL
THEY THRUST TO THE LEFT
THEY THRUST ON THE DOLE
PRETTY PEOPLE OF UGLY STREETS
WHERE I SOMETIMES TALK AND MEET

CHORUS 2
PA PA PAA
PA PA PA PA PAAA

VERSE 3
JOHNNY ENGLISH WALKING HIS DOG
VICTORIAN LADY IN WHITECHAPEL FOG
ARTISTS HAVE SINCE LEFT THIS DOMAIN
SEEKING AREAS OF DARKNESS
PECKHAM, NEW CROSS
BERLIN AND SPAIN
PARIS AND NEW YORK
NOTHING TO GAIN
LOVERS AND LOSERS
I KNOW THEM ALL BY NAAAAME

CHORUS 3
PRETTY PEOPLE OF UGLY STREETS
ARE THINGS REALLY HAPPENING HERE?
HUB OF ALL MUSIC??
HUB OF GLARE
HUB OF ALL GESTICULARY AFFAIR
PRETTY PEOPLE OF UGLY STREETS
THEY STAND, STOP AND STARE.

PRETTY PEOPLE OF UGLY STREETS
BIG CHIEFS WITH HANDKERCHIEFS

END CHORUS

PA PA PA PA PA..... Repeat....
