Peter Gabriel
She is Beautiful (Demo 1967 of The Serpent)
[Verse]
Cool as ice, yet brittle as glass
A nervous wreck with a sweet façade
You're breaking up
You're breaking up now, baby
You're breaking up your life
Into little pieces
Baby
[Chorus]
Vanity arrived with fame
How she loved to see her name
She is beautiful, very beautiful, look at her
And she's a model
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, girl, I love you, but you won't listen
To what I'm trying to say
Things won't work out as you plan them now
Don't throw your love away
Give it up, baby
Honey, give it up and come back to me
[Bridge]
You know you just enable some
To get more money
For them, you're just a product
For me, you're the one I love
Baby
[Chorus]
Vanity arrived with fame
How she loved to see her name
She is beautiful, very beautiful, look at her
And she's a model
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, girl, I love you but you won't listen
To what I'm trying to say
Things won't work out as you plan them now
Don't throw your love away
Give it up, baby
Honey, give it up and come back to me
[Verse]
Cool as ice, yet brittle as glass
A nervous wreck with a sweet façade
You're breaking up
You're breaking up now, baby
You're breaking up your life
Into little pieces
Baby
[Outro]
Don't take my love away from my arms, no, no
I need her near me every single day
Please don't take her away
I need my love
