Beautiful People
© Copyright 2006 Paul Brady

Verse 1
Where are all the beautiful people
The ones you see in the magazines
They're so cool and so appealing
They smile at you with perfect teeth

Chorus 1
They're up there looking down
From the billboards looking down
Why don't we see them
Why don't we see them on the street

Verse 2
Where are all the beautiful people
The ones you read about in books
They've got all the perfect answers
From cover to cover perfect looks

Chorus 2
They're down there in the pages
Talking back from the pages
Why don't we hear them
Why don't we hear them on the street

Bridge
You can see them any time you want
You can see them any time
You want...to stop and look

Verse 3
Where are all the beautiful people
They're not in the magazines
They're down here on the pavement
They're wearing frowns and wearing jeans

Coda
You can see them any time you want
You can see them any time
You want...to stop and look

Hi Pbee

You write yet another really nice song ( little envious here )

Like I have said a 1,000 times I don't think I have the right to critque anyones work . But something stands out for me in this

They're up there looking down
From the billboards looking down

Seems to me a little repeatative to me ( sorry)

They're up there looking around
From the billboards looking down

Maybe ?

Apart from that mate nice song

Hiclh

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

Nice song mate.

I agree with Hilch, its a little repetative, but I think that helps keep the focus of the song in this case.

one of those songs people will read, nod their heads, smile and think, "yeah, he's right there!"

Thanks for the comments. Yes I agree there is repetitive phrasing in there, but deliberately so. I'm quite interested to see how people react to that style.

Hi Pbee

I take back my first post , the word I mentioned previously does actually fit really well ...

Just an idea after listening to your MP3

You can see them any time you want
You can see them any time
You want...to stop and look

Then Music Music Music

Stop and Look < on look music ends abruptly ...

Just a thought ..

Really enjoyed the MP3 ,

Hilch :?:

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am

It may read repetitively to some, but it sounds great - love the riff you came up with!

Like the bridge/coda - that was the only part I was struggling with a little, like the way you kind of drew it out....

:D :D :D
