Dead or Alive
Isn’t It a Pity?
[Intro/Excerpted Voice]
I lost it when you came along, he's quite a man!
No saint of course, but you must have expected that before you married him
Maybe that was why you married him...

[Verse 1]
I'm a kind of hybrid of a cartoon and a feature
Some have sought me lovely, others saw an ugly creature
Some have sought me right on time and others found me tired
And I couldn't count the times that my backside has been admired

[Pre-Chorus]
Beauty is glitter in my eyes
I really wanted roses but you sent me custard pies

[Chorus]
Isn't it a pity that I'm not the prettiest girl in the world? But sometimes I feel when I Kick up my heels in the sun
I'm the loveliest one

Isn't it a pity that I'm not the prettiest girl in the world? But sometimes I feel when I Kick up my heels in the sun
I'm the loveliest one!

[Verse 2]
I'm a kind of cross between a pupil and a teacher
Some have found me lovely, others saw an ugly creature
I have found my image has obscured all that I am
But who said you can't mix vinegar with jam?
[Pre-Chorus]
Beauty is glitter in my eyes
I really wanted roses but you sent me custard pies
(Ah..)

[Chorus]
Isn't it a pity that I'm not the prettiest girl in the world? But sometimes I feel when I Kick up my heels in the sun
I'm the loveliest one

Isn't it a pity that I'm not the prettiest girl in the world? But sometimes I feel when I Kick up my heels in the sun
I'm the loveliest one!

Isn't it a pity?

[Bridge]
The London image makers
Faces made for mirror breakage
And no, their magazines
Can not affect my self esteem

Beauty...

(Ow!)

[Verse 1]
I'm a kind of hybrid of a cartoon and a feature
Some have sought me lovely, others saw an ugly creature
Some have sought me right at times and others found me tired
And I couldn't count the times that my backside has been admired
[Pre-Chorus]
Beauty is glitter in my eyes
I really wanted roses but you sent me custard pies

[Chorus]
Isn't it a pity that I'm not the prettiest girl in the world?But sometimes I feel when I Kick up my heels in the sun
I'm the loveliest one

Isn't it a pity that I'm not the prettiest girl in the world? But sometimes I feel when I Kick up my heels in the sun
I'm the loveliest one!
