Dead or Alive - Isn't It a Pity Lyrics

(I must admit we do get 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)

I'm a kind of hybrid of
A cartoon and a feature
Some have thought me lovely
Others saw an ugly creature
Some have thought me right at times
And others found me tired
And I couldn't count the times that
My backside has been admired

Beauty is glitter in my eyes
I really wanted roses but you
Sent me custard pies

Isn't it a pity that I'm not
The prettiest girl in the world
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

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?

Beauty is glitter in my eyes
I really wanted roses but you
Sent me custard pies

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
Sometimes I feel when I
Kick up my heels in the sun
I'm the loveliest one

Isn't it a pity (the London image makers
Face is made for mirror breakage
You know their magazines
Can not affect my self esteem)

Beauty

I'm a kind of hybrid of
A cartoon and a feature
Some have thought me lovely
Others saw an ugly creature
Some have thought me right at times
And others found me tired
And I couldn't count the times that
My backside has been admired

Beauty is glitter in my eyes
I really wanted roses but you
Sent me custard pies

Isn't it a pity that I'm not
The prettiest girl in the world
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
