Info

It's funny the things that can inspire a song. I was once watching breakfast tv, very bleary eyed, and more interested in my toast than the television. There was some unimportant piece about summer etiquette following a recent heat wave. It was accompanied by images of people with their tops off who, in all fairness, might have been better advised to keep them on. One of the people joining in the discussion recalled a quote from one of the Waughs (can anyone tell me which one it was?) who said "Etiquette is for the ugly, the beautiful can do what the hell they like." How true!

Lyrics

Is it because you're beautiful
You can push into a queue
And noone raises an eyebrow let alone their voice at you
Is it because you're beautiful yeah yeah
Is it because you're beautiful yeah yeah yeah yeah
Is it why a guy like me has to wait in line
Has to bide his time

Is it because you're beautiful
People do the things you say
You always get just what you want at any time of day
Is it because you're beautiful yeah yeah
Is it because you're beautiful yeah yeah yeah yeah
Is it why a guy like me so quickly had to learn
How to wait his turn

You're almost too good looking to be here
But you're so beautiful, rules don't apply

Is it because you're beautiful
You can get in any bar
And everywhere's accessible no matter where you are
Is it because you're beautiful yeah yeah
Is it because you're beautiful yeah yeah yeah yeah
Is it why a guy like me can't look you in the eye
Has to walk on by
