In recent year there's been a lot of pop acts singing
about being beautiful or someone or something being
beautiful. Now, i know this ain't a new thing but it
just feels as if these people dont really know what
beauty is and by bandying it around so often it starts
to lose all meaning and worth.
you see "beauty" and "beautiful" are powerful words.
It's more than just a physical thing.
It's more than just a nice pair of tits.
Bring the beat in and let me tell them what I think
beauty is....
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
I was lucky enough to be near her so i told her.
Funnily enough I missed the freckles on her shoulder,
and that even on the hottest of nights her skin was
colder.
Now for me to get my defintion of beauty across to ya
i must request your attention for the immediate future
It won't take so long as to put you in a catatonic
stupor
As i present my case study example: Tommy Cooper.
If you haven't heard of Tommy I'll do my best to
explain.
Tommy Cooper was in the entertainment game
Every granddad in Britain can do a Tommy Cooper
impression
With a selection of gags, hand movements and facial
expressions
His uniform was a suit and a red fez hat
He would combine jokes and magic tricks "just like
that"
He'd drift between the two with the most cack handed
transition
He was two part comedian and one part magician
Mistakes and mess-ups were a bit part of his show
Which were real and which were planned only he would
know
If he messed up ot a certain joke bombed
He would start laughing at himself and soon the laughs
would catch on
See Tommy gave no regad to class or grace
His only goal was to put a smile on every single face
All his life Tommy lived to just make people laugh
Whether onstage or at home he would just be acting daft
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
I was lucky enough to be near her so i told her.
Funnily enough I missed the freckles on her shoulder,
and that even on the hottest of nights her skin was
colder. [x2]
Whether it appropriate or not become somehow
unconnected
Because making people laugh was his only objective
But there's one thing in life that no man can avoid
An this thing will leave the hears of loved ones empty
and void.
Death will ALWAYS cause hurt and pain
it can take weeks before a smile is on your face again
sure where reminiscing there can be great happiness
But at the immediate time theres just searing pain and
nothing less.
On April 5th, 1984
The London Pallaium was the scene of Tommy's show once
more
It was a full house and he had the crowd eating out of
his hand once more
Everything, as usual, seemed completely unplanned
And in what seemed like a finale Tommy dropped to the
floor
Causing the room to erupt into laughter and rapturous
applause
the curtain closed, lights went up and there was no
encore
Everybody left there seats and headed for the door
Unbeknownst to them they had witness Tommy Cooper's
death
He had given his all until he had nothing left
Now please note that at th moment that this entertainer
died
Even with a room full of people not one tear was cried
Much less, they rose to their feet as they lauged and
clapped
Now tell me one fucking thing that's more beautiful
than that...
Cos' im sure i cant think of one.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
I was lucky enough to be near her so i told her.
Funnily enough I missed the freckles on her shoulder,
and that even on the hottest of nights her skin was
colder.
