If Looks Could Kill Lyrics
Pet Shop Boys
What d'you want?
You've got nothing to say
And you can't
Hide that look of dismay
Why pretend?
You only want revenge
It's been said
I'd be dead
If looks could kill
Where'd you go
With that threadbare crowd
Still in tow?
Do they appreciate your
Tales of woe?
Droning on and on
Lost your thread?
I'd be dead
If looks could kill
You think you're acting
In self-defence
But you're fooling no one
And you never will
The only crime is irrelevance
No wonder you're worried
I'd be dead and buried still
If looks could kill
Welcome to a unique event
Where we see what you represent
Flaunt that look
Of 'Let battle commence!'
It changes nothing
And it never will
And on that matter of self-defence
I'm not worried
I'd be dead and buried still
If looks could kill
If looks could kill
You've got nothing to say
And you can't
Hide that look of dismay
Why pretend?
You only want revenge
It's been said
I'd be dead
If looks could kill
Where'd you go
With that threadbare crowd
Still in tow?
Do they appreciate your
Tales of woe?
Droning on and on
Lost your thread?
I'd be dead
If looks could kill
You think you're acting
In self-defence
But you're fooling no one
And you never will
The only crime is irrelevance
No wonder you're worried
I'd be dead and buried still
If looks could kill
Welcome to a unique event
Where we see what you represent
Flaunt that look
Of 'Let battle commence!'
It changes nothing
And it never will
And on that matter of self-defence
I'm not worried
I'd be dead and buried still
If looks could kill
If looks could kill
