iggy pop - shades

iggy pop - shades
blah blah blah - 1987 england

You gave me a present
The paper was blue and green
I unwrapped it with pleasure
These are the best shades I've ever seen
You can be my girlfriend
Forever and a day
I never thought I was worth much
Or that anyone would treat me this way

I'm not
The kind of guy
Who dresses like a king
And a really fine pair of shades
Means everything
And the light that blinds my eyes
Shines from you
It makes me come in the night
It makes me swim with delight

I like this pain
I like this mirror
I like these shades

I could have had a problem
I might have never followed through
The other guys are in trouble
They wouldn't listen to a girl like you
These shades say something
I'll bet they cost a lot
I hope I don't break 'em
I hope we don't break up

This has a different ending than the originally released 1986 version.

Saw the great one thrice live in the flesh. He is the all-time macho cool dude of master rock and roll. This is a song of eternal love sung in a self-assured baritone of suave.
