Hawksley Workman - Clever Not Beautiful Lyrics
Sharks follow my trail, and it won't be longThey've fallen for the oldest trick in the bookIt never goes wrong oh noMask and snorkel and a bottle of ketchupOh those desperate old sharkfins start to circle me in angerOh be clever not beautiful, oh be clever not beautifulIf your goal is plain survival well then be clever not beautiful(Ha) Poets lock up your words, your tongues are all tiedOh let read in every history book that the poets all tried to lull usWith lilting, songs of a struggle to mountain up a notionThat we were something more than animalsBe clever not beautiful, oh be clever not beautifulIf your gaol is plain survival well then be clever not beautifulNot like your face, as you roam in the gardenNot as the earthworms gather beneath your feetYou give it all away(all away) for freeAs we sun our winter bellies(winter bellies)In your spring(yaa)Ooh be clever not beautiful, oh be clever not beautifulIf your goal is pure survival well then be clever not beautifulOh be clever not beautiful oh be clever not beautifulIf your goal is plain survival well then be clever not beautifulBe clever not beautiful
