Pretty Faces

All those pretty faces in the "Under Her Hypnosis" video got me thinking...

https://youtu.be/7FeEHdUZV0Y?si=oJqhZqQWTLUx8nWP

In the rear-view mirror

saw a face getting nearer 

Up in the sky I see one there too

Around the world in famous places               

I’m falling in love with pretty faces


There on the TV up on the screen

On all the pages of hot magazines

There in the movies everyman’s dream         

Perfect skin on crazy headcases

I’m falling in love with pretty faces


Up and down these glamorous streets            

They look so sweet when they don’t think

My heads spinning at the beautiful scene

They all got picture perfect graces 

I’m falling in love with the pretty faces


Coming up quick in my rear view mirror

Painting her lips smoothing her hair

She’s don’t care bout keepin safe spaces

She’s crazier than the other head cases

Chasing em down those pretty faces


If I was a blind man I’d probably be

Lovin a fine thing I can’t even see

Don’t need lipstick or long fake lashes

got a voice so sweet and a touch that it replaces

The lies I can’t see on the pretty faces


I use to check em out

Try to catch their eye

Now I Leave em alone 

they ain’t worth the chasing

            

I’m all done lovin pretty faces

All done lovin pretty faces

  • What a great song man. It's got such a good narrative to it and as usual you nailed it. Nice work on the guitar, very smooth throughout and its such a fast tempo you kept. Great vid too!

  • Love the lyric.

    I don't think the melody has that ear-worm factor to really stick in people's minds, other than your title line "falling in love with pretty faces" which is solid

    But could be one to try out on people first. Do you have any Open Mic venues nearby where you could gauge peoples reaction?

    I hate to have to say it, but I totally agree with RDM.

    The lyrics are superb, they really are. The guitar brilliant, the voice and presentation excellent.

    The melody not so. The song is too good to leave it at that and your skill is such that you can flip this to something that deserves the words. I'd love for you to have another go and resubmit it, it's got so much potential!
