Shriekback – Pretty Little Things lyrics

How they glisten. How they shine. I wish that they were mine
Half-good but not evil - make me feel so very fine.
Oh my, my my... so pretty I could cry
When I saw them for the first time, I thought that I would die

So pretty so pretty those pretty little things
So pretty so pretty those pretty little things

I can't stand the temptation, wanna touch but I don't know
Shiny bright and squeaky clean - pretty little things I love them so
Pretty things are kind of wicked - make my sick heart feel so glad
I'm sure that nothing so pretty could be bad...

So pretty so pretty those pretty little things
So pretty so pretty those pretty little things
So pretty so pretty those pretty little things
So pretty so pretty those pretty little things

Complicated as a flower glamorous as anything
Dangerous and evanescent - yes oh yes those pretty things
Boiling up and bubbling over warm and soft and simmering
Make me holler and sing - pretty pretty little things

So pretty so pretty those pretty little things
So pretty so pretty those pretty little things
So pretty so pretty those pretty little things
So pretty so pretty those pretty little things
So pretty so pretty those pretty little things
So pretty so pretty those pretty little things
So pretty so pretty those pretty little things
So pretty so pretty those pretty little things
