Joe Jackson Pretty Boys song lyrics

Pretty boys - on my TV screen

Teeth so white and hair so clean

Pretty boys - sing and play guitars

Pretty boys get to be big stars

How do you rate my sex appeal from one to ten

Is my image just a bit confusing

Maybe I should get a facelift, start again

Maybe I should trade my pointed shoes in

'Cause talent don't count

For Pretty Boys

Those promo people got a lot to answer for

You can take your face and see just where it fits

Be a pretty pawn in someone else's war

Your baby blue eyes - somebody else's wits

Equals success

For Pretty Boys

I wanna see a human being on my TV set

Want some action for the fat and thin man

They're getting closer but they ain't got robots yet

Just a hero with a smile like a tin man

No brains and no heart

Just Pretty Boys
