lyrics

I’m fatter than I’d like to be,
My teeth are not as pearly as I’d like to see.
Ears are jug on a moon-round mug -
Straight, dark rug, that’s me -
Individuality, individuality.

Body image, body image, go variety!
Body image, body image - seems okay to me.
Is it just that what we’re not we wanna be?
Present imperfect is not enough
When it comes to rivalry –
Ah, is it rivalry?
Why I was made like a Lucien Freud I’ll never know.
Too much acid or alkaloid? Metabolism too slow?
Genetic overgrow?

Ev’rybody’s got a good side people say.
Two sides to a question, give me the better way.
I may be round but, penny to a pound,
My man found in me –
Individuality, individuality.

I’m not so skinny that I dig other people with my bones.
Cheeks not shrunken enough so they look like an ancient crone’s.
Wrinkles are character lines – I’m not an elephant.
I really don’t want my skin stretched tight like a replicant,
Oh no, not a replicant.

Body image, body image, go variety!
Body image, body image - seems okay to me.
Is it just that what we’re not we wanna be?
Present imperfect is not enough
When it comes to rivalry –
Ah, is it rivalry?
Why I was made like a Lucien Freud I’ll never know.
Too many cakes and biscuits to avoid, comes as a bitter blow,
But at least I’m not a Picasso.

Body image, body image, go variety!
Body image, body image - seems okay to me.
Is it just that what we’re not we wanna be?
Present imperfect is not enough
When it comes to rivalry –
Ah, is it rivalry?

Oh, body image, body image, go variety!
Body image, body image - seems okay to me.
Body image, body image, go variety!
Body image, body image - seems okay to me.

But I’m fatter than I’d like to be.

about

Barbara Delarbre image

Barbara Delarbre Wales, UK

I am from the UK and (depending on mood) I'm a drawing, an animation or a puppet! I kid you not. I am the alter-ego of a DIY Indie Instrumental girl–do the whole bang shoot of writing, playing and production. So I've only got myself to blame! You might catch me on bright, moonlit nights, dancing over the mountains twirling my pink umbrella! ... more
