Lyrics
Odyshape
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She looks
She looks embarrassed, embarrassed
She looks in mirror,
In magazine
She looks embarassed, embarassed
(I’m not glamourous or polished
In fact I’m no ornament
it could be my body shape
I wonder if I’ll ever look right)
Blot on the landskape, unrefined
Quite out of place
Her nose is too big
Maybe operation
Her waist too wide.
Her hair is not shining.
Oh! It isn’t fair she isn’t fair
You’re walking sad
You’re looking bad
you’re talking sad
You’re looking bad
Hung up for fractional inches
Hung up for the cloth that pinches
Do I measure up to your expectations?
Am I owed any explanations?
Hung up for fractional inches
Hung up for the cloth that pinches
Do I measure up to your expectations?
Am I owed any explanations?
You’re walking sad
You’re looking bad
you’re talking sad
You’re looking bad
Blot on the landskape, unrefined
Quite out of place
Her nose is too big
Maybe operation
Her waist too wide.
Her hair is not shining.
Oh! It isn’t fair she isn’t fair...
She looks
She looks embarrassed, embarrassed
She looks
She looks embarrassed, embarrassed
