lyrics

GOOD LOOKS (AREN’T EVERYTHING) Lyrics Gay Woods

Good looks aren’t everything,
You gotta have something, something on your mind.
You can dress to kill,
You can dress to live,
But only good looks, good looks,
Will get you where you wanna go- where do you wanna go?

You have to know a man in the right place
Be there when it’s at the right pace,
Count on people you knew in your past
Talk now while the going is fast.
No appointments can be made rush, rush,
Someone special might call from the trade,
Stay at home with the telephone, telephone,
Stay at home or go out alone.

CHORUS

Catch the post expresso, expresso
Watch the moon take its course,
Live on faith instead of hope,
See it stay a little longer.
Spare time for cats and dogs,
Sweet little girls calling at your door,
The mornings are mine- Here!
Take this evening, hold on to your nights,
Hold on to your nights.

Careful with your memory,
Keep your personality,
Careful with your memory,
Keep your personality-
Which one to wear tonight,
Who shall I be tonight?
A voice on wire, a voice on a microphone…

So you pin your heart on a tightrope,
Hold your head up in the air,
Dice with Original Sin,
Hope a baby won’t begin.
Shrug off the friendly critics,
The disappointed few,
Suspicious tones you find in your letters,
Reminders of a place you once called Home,
You once called Home.

CHORUS

I've been a fan of 5GDTTS from over the other side of the world ever since those original EPs came out, so this release really made my week. In particular, Blue Moon is just superb. Now, another release featuring the rest of the Fanning sessions and some live tracks would really help cement their legacy. :-) Arctinurus

Small Talk

Incredible album. I'm so happy how "Little Green Cars" evolved into Soda Blonde, and extremely pleased that Faye O'Rourke is at the forefront of vocals with her fantastic, captivating voice. Such a moving album, and the underlying themes really presenting a sort of isolation and general feeling of being upset in a relationship, in my interpretation.

A Secret Wish is still an album I play to this day. It has never waned. I actually think it has got better with age. I'm not a fan generally of live recordings but this is one I love listening to. And Disziplin is on here too. Just as I remember it on The Tube. Who could ask for anything more? Just wish I would have been there but this is the next best thing. ❤ bazgray
