~ if you feel like listening, (they sing pretty clearly as far as the lyrics) any thoughts about the lyrics would be interesting ~ off their "Big Night Music" album
For the first 37 seconds I didn't hear any voice, and after that I couldn't tell what the voice was saying.
Pretty Little Things Shriekback
How they glisten. How they shine. I wish that they were mine Half-good but not evil - make me feel so very fine. Oh my, my my... so pretty I could cry When I saw them for the first time, I thought that I would die So pretty so pretty those pretty little things So pretty so pretty those pretty little things I can't stand the temptation, wanna touch but I don't know Shiny bright and squeaky clean - pretty little things I love them so Pretty things are kind of wicked - make my sick heart feel so glad I'm sure that nothing so pretty could be bad... So pretty so pretty those pretty little things So pretty so pretty those pretty little things So pretty so pretty those pretty little things So pretty so pretty those pretty little things Complicated as a flower glamorous as anything Dangerous and evanescent - yes oh yes those pretty things Boiling up and bubbling over warm and soft and simmering Make me holler and sing - pretty pretty little things So pretty so pretty those pretty little things So pretty so pretty those pretty little things So pretty so pretty those pretty little things So pretty so pretty those pretty little things So pretty so pretty those pretty little things So pretty so pretty those pretty little things So pretty so pretty those pretty little things So pretty so pretty those pretty little things
Thanks for the lyrics! Yeah, there's a long instrumental intro to the song. To me the guy sings pretty clearly. but I've been listening to this album for years. :) Thanks, again- - I wanted to post a video with the lyrics in it but didn't find any -- and didn't think of just putting the lyrics in. :) I have my 'take' on what they're talking about. :)
Yes, I liked that! I think the pretty little things may be similar in the two songs -- I choose the gender to be male pretty things in Shriekback's song -- with absolutely no proof that I am anywhere near the meaning.
Bowie's smile is adorable at the 3:03 to 3:05 mark in your video. :)
