Pretty - The Beautiful South

You’re kind of pretty you can cover in make-up

Cover in perfume too

Moonlight, mud fight, any kinda sunlight

Still comes shining through

Stuff it with cakes, see if it breaks

Put it in the oven, see how she bakes

Your kind of pretty you can gas mark 11

But you can’t ever overdo

Your kinda pretty, don’t need advertising

Your kinda pretty comes with own billboard

Newly-weds nearly-deads

Anyone with bed-stead

Your kinda pretty

You’re all they can’t afford

Cover your eyes, see if it dies

Move to the city, start dating guys

You’re kind of pretty you can try to deny

But eventually you’ll thank the lord

You’re kind of pretty don’t need an umbrella

It knows what weather can do

Sandstorm, rainstorm, anything a cloud’s warn

Can’t hide the prettiest view

Cover with paints, see if it stains

Take it to a window, press up against

Your kinda pretty you can drag through a hedge

But no-one would believe you’d been through

Your kinda pretty, don’t need advertising

Your kinda pretty comes with own billboard

Newly-weds nearly-deads

Anyone with bed-stead

Your kinda pretty

You’re all they can’t afford

Cover your eyes, see if it dies

Move to the city, start dating guys

You’re kind of pretty you can try to deny

But eventually you’ll thank the lord
