Description
Willywagga posted a really funny little track, Ruari Egans Car, a while back (you can listen to this on Willie's bio page). I really liked this, and thought the guitar was a bit like the Velvet Underground, and asked willie if i could do a Velvet-type version of his song ... and here it is.
This is the first track I've done post surgery, so the vocals are probably a bit nasal, and i've messed around with the mix but probably not done as good as i could've 'cause i wanted to get something posted.
Anyway, it's nice to do something fun as most of my stuff is kinda serious.
The lyric was inspired by a conversation I had with my nephew's 15 year-old girlfriend - we asked what sort of job she wants to get when she leaves school, and she said she wanted to sing and that 'i just want to be beautiful'.
The original lyric was a bit of a piss-take, but i left it in hospital (!) - this is more from her point of view, and I like it better.
Thanks to Willie for letting me play with this, and for the suggestions on improving the track.

Lyrics
Sweet Jesus make me beautiful
I hope you'll help me though i know your hands are kinda full.
I Know I can make it 'cause Alex Heaven said
Celebrity's currency and we wanna get paid
All the stiffs wanna work 'til they drop dead but
He believes in me.
Sweet Jesus make me beautiful
The world's my lobster and I've had my fill of school.
I know I'm worth it like Scarlett Johanssen said
You wear your make-up to church and pray to wed
But I'm gonna get out and sing me a life instead
He believes in me.
Sweet Jesus make me beautiful
between the city and the star, i'm gonna show them all.
etc....

I like the message of hope contained in this, I'd like to hear the sequel when the person hits 30 years of age, but seriosly really nice melody and as always great singing and production, I guess someone like Scarlett Johanssen is living the good life going from pre-teen actress to an adult star, good person to pick as far as being a young girls role model.
a well rounded rock tune, good job :)
