Ed Harcourt - Black Beauty lyrics

[Verse 1] I paint my nails black I dye my hair a darker shade of brown ‘Cause you like your women Spanish, dark, strong and proud I paint the sky black You said if you could have your way You'd make it nighttime all today So it'd suit the mood with your soul Oh, what can I do? Nothing, my sparrow blue [Chorus] Oh, what can I do? Life is beautiful, but you don't have a clue Sun and ocean blue Their magnificence, it don't make sense to you [Post-Chorus] Black beauty, ooh Black beauty, ooh [Verse 2] I paint the house black My wedding dress black leather too You have no room for light, love is lost on you I keep my lips red To seem like cherries in the spring Darling, you can't let everything seem so dark blue But oh, what can I do? To turn you on or get through you? [Chorus] Oh, what can I do? Life is beautiful, but you don't have a clue Sun and ocean blue Their magnificence, it don't make sense to you [Post-Chorus] Black beauty, ooh Black beauty, ooh [Bridge] Black beauty, ooh Black beauty, ooh Black beauty, ooh Black beauty, baby Black beauty, baby [Chorus] Oh, what can I do? Life is beautiful, but you don't have a clue Sun and ocean blue Their magnificence, it don't make sense to you [Post-Chorus] Black beauty, ooh Black beauty, ooh Black beauty, ooh Black beauty, ooh
