Elliot Smith - Pretty (Ugly Before) W/ Lyrics

Sunshine, been keeping me up for days
There is no night time, it's only a passing phase
And I feel pretty, pretty enough for you
I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do

Sometimes is all I feel up to now
But it's not worth it to you
Cos you gotta get out somehow
It's the destruction that you require to feel
Like somebody wants you, someone that's more for real

Sunshine, been keeping me up for days
There is no night time, only a passing phase
And I'll feel pretty, another hour or two

I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do
I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do
I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do
Ugly before

I can't believe how much of himself he put into his songs. And i still ain't heard a bad song from him ---> a true inspiration for me as a songwriter.

[bradshawvincent]

a fabulous song and searingly honest i think elliott ( maybe like most of us ) felt ugly inside. so moving and tragic.

[discomagician]

Amazing song! However, I kinda feel like this is about heroin.

[raeraerocks7]

This is literally the most beautiful song I've ever heard.......

[WobotMonsta]

There are some mistakes in the the lyrics... ^^":

'sometimes is all I feel up to now

but it's not worth it to you

cos you gotta get high somehow

is it destruction that you require to feel?'

[maciesnipples]

He should of never felt ugly. Hes the most beautiful man in the world.

[addictioner]

@rubberting

I agree brother. He was such a tunefull guy, really made you listen to his lyrics. not many artists hve the power to make you cry at a song but he had it in spades. A true great and to me a very uplifting guy always a light at the end of the tunnel in my view.
