Lyrics
Ugly
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.
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
Ana 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 apologise 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 Orgy 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. it'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
