Oh! You Pretty Things Songtext
von David Gray

Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake off your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I made some breakfast and coffee
I looked out my window and what did I see
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

Where are we going to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books are found by the golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned what we were here for
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay


Oh, you pretty things
Don′t you know you're driving your mamas and papas insane?
Oh, you pretty things
Don't you know you′re driving your mamas and papas insane?
Let me make it plain
We gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Look out at your children
See their faces and golden rays
Don′t kid yourself, they belong to you
They'll be part of the coming race
The other′s a bitch, she finished on you
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
Don′t you know you're driving your mamas and papas insane?
Oh, you pretty things
Don′t you know you're driving your mamas and papas insane?
Let me make it plain
We gotta make way for the Homo Superior
