Gang of Four - I Found That Essence Rare lyrics

Aim for the body rareyou'll see it on tv

The worst thing in 1954 was the bikini

See the girl on the tv dressed in a bikini

She doesn't think so but she's dressed for the h-bomb

(for the h-bomb)

I found that essence rareit's what I looked for

I knew I'd get what I asked for

Aim for the country fair you read it in the papers

The worst happens any week a scandal on the front page

See the happy pair smiling close like they are monkeys

They wouldn't think so but they're holding themselves down

(hold themselves down)

I found that essence rareit's what I looked for

I knew I'd get what I asked for

I found that essence rareit's what I looked for

I knew I'd get what I asked for

Aim for politicians fair who'll treat your vote hope well

The last thing they'll ever do act in your interest

Look at the world through your polaroid glasses

Things'll look a whole lot better for the working classes

(working classes)

I found that essence rareit's what I looked for

I knew I'd get what I asked for

I found that essence rareit's what I looked for

I knew I'd get what I asked for
