Ian Hunter - Purgatory lyrics

(Ian Hunter) Beautiful people - got their beautiful lives - got their Beautiful husbands - got their beautiful wives - got their Beautiful bankers - got their beautiful lawyers All things bright and beautiful The beautiful people are sent to destroy us Beautiful people - got their beautiful kids - got their Beautiful schools where the beautiful other half live - got their Beautiful futures in their beautiful professions All things bright and beautiful The beautiful people got the money for the lessons I'm living in purgatory - I know what purgatory is This ain't no sanctuary - This ain't no way to live You gotta have a sense of humour - you gotta know how to laugh at it Cos, I'm living in Purgatory 'n anything's better than this Beautiful people got their beautiful clothes - got their Beautiful mansions - down their beautiful country roads - got their Beautiful Doctors - in their beautiful surgeries All things bright and beautiful The beautiful people like a little privacy I'm living in purgatory - I know what purgatory is This ain't no sanctuary - This ain't no way to live You gotta have a sense of humour - you gotta know how to laugh at it Cos, I'm living in Purgatory 'n anything's better than this Beautiful losers on their beautiful estates got their beautiful job centres on the beautiful welfare wait and wait Beautiful dreamers - out of their beautiful skulls All things are bright and beautiful As long as they're beautiful, people stay beautiful. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful I'm living in purgatory - I know what purgatory is This ain't no sanctuary - This ain't no way to live You gotta have a sense of humour - you gotta know how to laugh at it I'm living in Purgatory 'n anything's better than this
