Perfect Skin |
I choose my friends only far too well |
I’m up on the pavement, they’re all down in the cellar |
With their government grants and my I. Q |
They brought me down to size, academia blues |
Louise is a girl, I know her well |
She’s up on the pavement, yes she’s a weather girl |
And I’m staying up here so I may be undone |
She’s inappropriate, but then she’s much more fun and |
When she smiles my way |
My eyes go out in vain |
She’s got perfect skin |
Shame on you, you’ve got no sense of grace, shame on me |
Ah just in case I might come to a conclusion |
Other than that which is absolutely necessary |
And that’s perfect skin |
Louise is the girl with the perfect skin |
She says turn on the light, otherwise it can’t be seen |
She’s got cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin |
And she’s sexually enlightened by cosmopolitan and |
When she smiles my way |
My eyes go out in vain |
For her perfect skin |
Yeah that’s perfect skin |
She takes me down to the basement to look at her slides |
Of her family life, pretty weird at times |
At the age of ten she looked like greta garbo |
And I loved her then, but how was she to know that |
When she smiles my way |
My eyes go out in vain |
She’s got perfect skin |
Up eight flights of stairs to her basement flat |
Pretty confused huh, being shipped around like that |
Seems we climbed so high now we’re down so low |
Strikes me the moral of this song must be there never has been one |
