Lyrics Example – Nicest Thing
Text:
Example:
Can I remix you?
Kate Nash:
No
Do you know what it will do for my career?
Kate Nash:
You know what it will do for mine?
Verse 1:
Face-to-face it’s perfect
You smile but you like a little nervous
I was late but now it feels worth it
On the surface you’re flawless
Textbook gorgeous
You’re just sitting there, dunno where to look
Face up at me I stare down at your book
Every now and then I rise me for a second
Checking one another then pretend that we’re not
You look down so I look away too
Face in the glass a reflection of you
Struggle not to care that you’re there
But I stare and you’re playing with your hair
Keep fiddling about with your iPod
My gosh, oh my god you’re fit
The nicest thing I’ve seen
You rub your cheek then you just went and touched those lips
I really wanna be those fingertips
Chorus:
All I know is that you’re so nice,
You’re the nicest thing I’ve seen.
See if we could be something.
Verse 2:
I start asking myself questions
I wonder what is your favourite restaurant
I wonder if you go to the gym, looks likely
Who’s your idol? Sienna or Knightly?
Hope you like rap and not rock
I hope you don’t buy crap when you shop
But I should stop getting carried away
I don’t even know you
But still I want to lift you and carry you away
Haven’t even spoken this is all from a look
I better stand the nonsense written in your book
Every time I look at your face it gets cuter
I feel like I suit ya and you suit me
Down to the ground
Bizarre and profound
The nicest thing I ever could have found
You stroke your hair then you just went and touched those lips
I really wanna be those fingertips
Chorus:
All I know is that you’re so nice,
You’re the nicest thing I’ve seen.
I wish that we could give it a go,
See if we could be something.
Verse 3:
I can sit here gazing
You look amazing
Cute little nose and the patter on your clothes
Doesn’t matter where it goes
I can sit here all day
Say, whatever we’ll do it your way
El snap out of it stop dreaming
I’m leaving, coming to my stop don’t believe it
It’s more memorable if we leave it
Don’t speak, so nice so I tell here with my eyes
Tell her what I think it’s my last chance
What I said with that last glance, I meant it
Journeys ended, step on to the platform
Doors close shut, it’s over but
Take one last short look
Through that window
Then go back to reality
You move away then you just went and touched those lips
But I’m never gonna be those fingertips
Chorus:
All I know is that you’re so nice,
You’re the nicest thing I’ve seen.
I wish that we could give it a go,
See if we could be something.
