Lyrics Lisa Hannigan – Oh! You Pretty Things
Text:
Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I’ve made some breakfast and coffee
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
Don’t you know you’re driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
Don’t you know you’re driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Look out at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don’t kid yourself they belong to you
They’re the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
We’ve finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
Don’t you know you’re driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
Don’t you know you’re driving your
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
