"Pretty Things" lyrics - THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH

THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH
"Pretty Things"

Your kind of pretty you can cover in make-up
Cover in perfume too
Moonlight, mud fight, any kinda sunlight
Still comes shining through

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
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

[Chorus:]
Your kinda pretty don't need advertising
Your kinda pretty comes with own billboard
Newly-weds and nearly-deads, anyone with bedstead
You're kinda pretty; you're all they can't afford

Cover your eyes, see if it dies
Move to the city, start dating guys
Your kind of pretty you can try to deny
But eventually you'll thank the lord

Your kind of pretty don't need an umbrella
It knows what weather can do
Sandstorm, rainstorm, anything the cloud's warn
Can't hide the prettiest view

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
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

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
Your kind of pretty you can try to deny
But eventually you'll thank the lord

Eventually you'll thank the lord...
