The Girl With the Patent Leather-Face Songtext
von Soft Cell

Look, she′s here again
The girl with the patent leather face
Tears pictures out of magazines
Looks longingly at make-up ads
And glossy spreads of beauty queens
The girl with the patent leather face
Sits in a darkened bedsit gloom
She chains her door, squats on the floor
Lets no one into her room

Two-faced baby
Shiny baby
Two-faced baby
Shiny baby

You can laugh, point at me
They do it all the time
But how would you like it
If you had a face like mine?


The girl with the patent leather face
Is a psychopathic mental case
A target for the freaks and creeps
A reject of the human race
The girl with the patent leather face
Hangs around the mutant bars
She tampers with machinery
So other beauties crash their cars

Two-faced baby
Shiny, shiny, shiny, shiny baby
Two-faced baby

You can laugh, point at me
They do it all the time
But how would you like it
If you had a face like mine?

The girl with the patent leather face
Tears pictures out of magazines
Looks longingly at make-up ads
And glossy spreads of beauty queens
The girl with the patent leather face
Sits in a darkened bedsit gloom
She chains her door, squats on the floor
Lets no one into her room


I won't let you alone
And we should get together
I′ll let her ask you to remember
Your best
Oh shiny patent leather
Patent leather
If you kiss me
Kiss me
Kiss me
Shiny baby

With your lips of patent leather
And your cold, cold eyes
