Lloyd Cole, 'Perfect Skin', 1987

[scotfoxx]

CAN ANYONE TELL ME BETTER LYRICS THAN THE BIT ABOUT COSMOPOLITAN ?.......SOOOOO 1980S

[ikedabarry]

@scotfoxx

Louise is the girl with the perfect skin

She says turn on the light, otherwise it can't be seen

She's got cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin

And she's sexually enlightened by cosmopolitan

Just saw Lloyd on Spicks and Specks in Aus in November 2011 so had to find out what he recorded - just great - and looks great too.

more ACROPOLIS memories!

[meccaturbo]

Guitars are not even plugged in!

[Mmmyess]

Jeezus, people, give the girl a break. The first time I watched this I didn't understand what he said, either.

[unibrook]

yep. that is funny that the clown chick at the end has never heard an expression like, "it's been a gas." she probably spent her whole life in front of a mirror......and shopping.

[sljf555]

Absolutely love this band - and Youtube for bringing back teenage memories

[kidyubyub]

Who on God's green earth was the ditz who didn't know the expression "it was a gas"??? Wow!

[BrainMetabolism]

cheekbones like geometry

and eyes like sin

[wulkyboy]

i had the pleasure with working with the drummer Stephen Irvine i played bass with him in a band in the 80s..he told me then he was leaving my band to work with a band who had a record contract.....what a great guy..haven't seen him for over 20 years

[DavidL3998]

Cool song, remember it well. Kind of a pity that it's lip synched on this performance (watch it again; Lloyd's guitar isn't plugged in), but TV was still learning how to get live performances right even then.

[hdg4805]

Great song!

[dreamytextiles]

"She's 'inappropriate' but then, she's much more fun"

[crystiju]

Beautiful...

[jjlinert]

This song is so beautiful! Love it - it brings me back to my high school days!!
