[00:12.71]I choose my friends only far too well
[00:15.78]And I'm up on the pavement
[00:17.59]And they're all down in the cellar
[00:19.47]With their government grants and my I.Q.
[00:22.84]They brought me down to size, academia blues
[00:28.32]
[00:34.20]Louise is a girl, I know her well
[00:37.70]She's up on the pavement
[00:39.45]Yeah, she's a weathergirl
[00:41.20]And I'm staying up here so I may be undone
[00:44.64]She's inappropriate, but then she's much more fun
[00:49.07]And when she smiles my way
[00:54.45]My eyes go out in vain
[00:58.82]She's got perfect skin
[01:03.89]Shame on you, you've got no sense of grace
[01:07.07]Shame on me, ah, just in case
[01:10.51]I might come to a conclusion
[01:12.82]Other than that which is absolutely necessary
[01:17.26]And that's perfect skin
[01:26.39]
[01:32.88]Louise is the girl with the perfect skin
[01:36.39]She says turn on the light, otherwise it can't be seen
[01:39.89]She's got cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin
[01:43.73]And she's sexually enlightened by cosmopolitan
[01:46.04]And when she smiles my way
[01:53.42]My eyes go out in vain
[01:57.79]For her perfect skin
[02:01.29]Yeah, that's perfect skin
[02:10.74]
[02:24.75]She takes me down into the basement to look at her slides
[02:27.87]Of her family life, pretty weird at times
[02:31.12]At the age of ten she looked like Greta Garbo
[02:35.00]And I loved her then but how was she to know that
[02:41.43]When she smiles my way
[02:44.56]My eyes go out in vain
[02:48.81]She's got perfect skin
[02:53.62]Up eight flights of stairs to a basement flat
[02:57.31]Pretty confused, huh, being shipped around like that
[03:00.75]Seems we climbed so high now we're down so low
[03:04.37]Strikes me the moral of this song must be there never has been one
