Lyrics

Pretty Awful

Hello Flo'
Fancy meeting you here
You can't come around here
Not looking like that
You fucking sad sack
Is that a wankers' mac?
You're looking ill again
I don't like the way you complain
Well, nice to see ya
Never again
You smell, like a bag of mice
Hope to never see you, twice
The shoes you choose
You ties a noose
And your pants, well, they're pants
Romany of romance
I like the way your toes
All curl up like a nose
And those squadrons of flies
Synchronize your twirls
Nick-nacks and bric-bracs
And tik-toks and choccy drops
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
But I like you
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
The shoes you choose
You paints the cans
The Romany of romance
The shoes you choose
You ties a noose
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
But I like you
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
All those dirty little girls
How right to tear the holes in their soles
Jump right out of the pram
From a girl into a woman
Turn into the fire
Right out of the pram
Turn a boy into a man
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
But I like you
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
You can't come around here
Looking like that sad sack
Is that a wankers' mac?
Pretty awful
Pretty, yeah, I like you
But don't you ever give a damn?
Pretty awful as a girl
That's natures plan
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
But I like you
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
Well, let's face it
Pretty awful as a girl
We've all done worse
Pretty awful as a girl
The end
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
Pretty awful as a girl
