The Stranglers Follow

I could have read
A poem called Ozymandias to her
Instead I lived for the moment
It was a futile gesture anyway
I was here and she was here
And being broad of minds and hips
We did the only thing possible

I guess, I shouldn't have
Strangled her to death
But I had to go to work
And she had laced
My coffee with acid

Normally I wouldn't have minded
But I'm allergic to sulphuric acid
Besides she had acne
And if you've got acne
Well, I apologize for disliking it intensely

But it's understandable
That ugly people have got complexes
I mean, it seems to me
That ugly people don't have a chance

It's only the children of the fucking
Wealthy who tend to be good looking
An ugly fart attracts

It's only the children of the fucking
Wealthy who tend to be good looking
An ugly fart attracts
A good looking chick if he's got money

It's only the children of the fucking
Wealthy who tend to be good looking
An ugly fart attracts
A good looking chick if he's got money

It's different for Jews somehow
I'd like to see a passionate film
Between the two ugliest people in the world
When I say ugly, I don't mean rough looking
I mean hideous

Don't tell me that aesthetics are subjective
You just know the truth when you see it
Whatever it is

Muscle power
Muscle power
Muscle power
Muscle power
