IAN HUNTER - Purgatory lyrics

rate me

(Ian Hunter)

Beautiful people - got their beautiful lives - got their

Beautiful husbands - got their beautiful wives - got their

Beautiful bankers - got their beautiful lawyers

All things bright and beautiful

The beautiful people are sent to destroy us

Beautiful people - got their beautiful kids - got their

Beautiful schools where the beautiful other half live - got their

Beautiful futures in their beautiful professions

All things bright and beautiful

The beautiful people got the money for the lessons

I'm living in purgatory - I know what purgatory is

This ain't no sanctuary - This ain't no way to live

You gotta have a sense of humour - you gotta know how to laugh at it

Cos, I'm living in Purgatory 'n anything's better than this

Beautiful people got their beautiful clothes - got their

Beautiful mansions - down their beautiful country roads - got their

Beautiful Doctors - in their beautiful surgeries

All things bright and beautiful

The beautiful people like a little privacy

I'm living in purgatory - I know what purgatory is

This ain't no sanctuary - This ain't no way to live

You gotta have a sense of humour - you gotta know how to laugh at it

Cos, I'm living in Purgatory 'n anything's better than this

Beautiful losers on their beautiful estates got their

beautiful job centres on the beautiful welfare wait and wait

Beautiful dreamers - out of their beautiful skulls

All things are bright and beautiful

As long as they're beautiful, people stay beautiful.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

I'm living in purgatory - I know what purgatory is

This ain't no sanctuary - This ain't no way to live

You gotta have a sense of humour - you gotta know how to laugh at it

I'm living in Purgatory 'n anything's better than this
