She Is Beautiful (demo 1967… later ‘The Serpent’) Songtext
von Genesis

Cool as ice yet brittle as glass
A nervous wreck with a sweet facade
You′re breaking up
You're breaking up now,baby
You′re breaking up your life
Into little pieces
Baby

Vanity arrived with fame
How she loved to see her name
She is beautiful, very beautiful, look at her
And she's a model

Hey,girl I love you but you won't listen
To what I′m trying to say
Things won′t work out as you plan them now
Don't throw your love away
Give it up, baby
Honey, give it up and come back to me


You know you just enable some
To get more money
For them you′re just a product
For me you're the one I love
Baby

Vanity arrived with fame
How she loved to see her name
She is beautiful, very beautiful, look at her
And she′s a model

Hey,girl I love you but you won't listen
To what I′m trying to say
Things won't work out as you plan them now
Don't throw your love away
Give it up, baby
Honey, give it up and come back to me

Cool as ice yet brittle as glass
A nervous wreck with a sweet facade
You′re breaking up
You′re breaking up now,baby
You're breaking up your life
Into little pieces
Baby


Don′t take my love away from my arms, no,no
I need her near me every single day
Please,don't take her away
I need my love
