Semi Precious Weapons, "Rock n' Roll Never Looked So Beautiful"
(2007)

Sometimes you go to sleep in your make up
Sometimes you take off your pants when you wake up
Sometimes you walk a bridge in your girl shoes
It's okay if you're late because they will always love you

Sometimes I dream so big
My life just seems so boring

Rock n' roll never looked so beautiful
Rock n' roll never looked so beautiful

Sometimes you bleach your head 'til it burns
Sometimes your friends tag team and take turns
Sometimes you walk a bridge at midnight
Because when you're broke walking ain't just for the transit strike

Sometimes I dream so big
My life just seems so boring

Rock n' roll never looked so beautiful
Rock n' roll never looked so beautiful

Sometimes I cry
Because it makes my eyes look bluer
Sometimes I bleed
Because red is a good color for me
Yeah

Put me in a see through coffin
Stuff me up with minx doll stuffing
Put me in a crystal casket
Before they mix diamonds into my ashes

Dance around my body
Just because I'm dead
Don't kill the party

Rock n' roll never looked so beautiful
Rock n' roll never looked so beautiful


Thanks, Dru!

Via Rolling Stone: "There’s 10 songs on our record and nine of them are about how fantastic I am," Tranter says. "In different settings, different time periods, different hats, things like that." I just... thought that was kind of funny. Still, it suggests there's a little gender-bending going down here.
