Lookin' Good

(album: Pointless Nostalgic - 2003)

Long as you're looking good...

You can win the admiration,
Of the current population,
You can be star,
Long as you're looking good!

You have made the main connection,
You can win the next election,
Don't care who you are,
Just leave them mesmerised, give their eyes a picture to play with,
And you will be so surprised at how much you can get away with!
Long as you're looking good!

Let that be your main credential,
You'll get treatment preferential,
It's a rule that's still essentially iron-clad,
Remember you can' look bad,
Long as you're looking good!

[instrumental]

You can tell the world to shove it,
Show 'em crap and make 'em love it!
Uh!
You can run their life,
Long as you're looking good!

They'll believe you walk on water,
Even trust you with their daughter,
Sometimes with their wife,
Don't have to know a thing, just look like you're a sensation,
Don't have to dance or sing to get that standing ovation!
Long as you're looking good!

You can show up late for dinner,
Play the saint or play the sinner,
A blag, a crank, a rank beginner,
Or just a cad!
Remember you can't look bad,
Long as you're looking good!
Long as you're sounding good!
