| [00:12.71] |
I choose my friends only far too well |
| [00:15.78] |
And I'm up on the pavement |
| [00:17.59] |
And they're all down in the cellar |
| [00:19.47] |
With their government grants and my I.Q. |
| [00:22.84] |
They brought me down to size, academia blues |
| [00:28.32] |
|
| [00:34.20] |
Louise is a girl, I know her well |
| [00:37.70] |
She's up on the pavement |
| [00:39.45] |
Yeah, she's a weathergirl |
| [00:41.20] |
And I'm staying up here so I may be undone |
| [00:44.64] |
She's inappropriate, but then she's much more fun |
| [00:49.07] |
And when she smiles my way |
| [00:54.45] |
My eyes go out in vain |
| [00:58.82] |
She's got perfect skin |
| [01:03.89] |
Shame on you, you've got no sense of grace |
| [01:07.07] |
Shame on me, ah, just in case |
| [01:10.51] |
I might come to a conclusion |
| [01:12.82] |
Other than that which is absolutely necessary |
| [01:17.26] |
And that's perfect skin |
| [01:26.39] |
|
| [01:32.88] |
Louise is the girl with the perfect skin |
| [01:36.39] |
She says turn on the light, otherwise it can't be seen |
| [01:39.89] |
She's got cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin |
| [01:43.73] |
And she's sexually enlightened by cosmopolitan |
| [01:46.04] |
And when she smiles my way |
| [01:53.42] |
My eyes go out in vain |
| [01:57.79] |
For her perfect skin |
| [02:01.29] |
Yeah, that's perfect skin |
| [02:10.74] |
|
| [02:24.75] |
She takes me down into the basement to look at her slides |
| [02:27.87] |
Of her family life, pretty weird at times |
| [02:31.12] |
At the age of ten she looked like Greta Garbo |
| [02:35.00] |
And I loved her then but how was she to know that |
| [02:41.43] |
When she smiles my way |
| [02:44.56] |
My eyes go out in vain |
| [02:48.81] |
She's got perfect skin |
| [02:53.62] |
Up eight flights of stairs to a basement flat |
| [02:57.31] |
Pretty confused, huh, being shipped around like that |
| [03:00.75] |
Seems we climbed so high now we're down so low |
| [03:04.37] |
Strikes me the moral of this song must be there never has been one |
