I Found That Essence Rare

Gang of Four · Entertainment! [1979]

Aim for the body rare, you'll see it on TV

The worst thing in 1954 was the bikini

See the girl on the TV dressed in the Bikini

She doesn't think so but she's dressed for the H-bomb (for the H-bomb)



I found that essence rare, it's what i looked for

I knew I'd get what I asked for



Aim for country fair, you read it in the papers

The worst in any week a scandal on the front page

See the happy pair smiling close like they're monkeys

They wouldn't think so but they're holding themselves down (hold themselves down)



I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for

I knew I'd get what I asked for



I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for

I knew I'd get what I asked for



Aim for politicians fair who'll treat your vote hope well

The last thing you'll ever do act in your interest

Look at the world through your polarised glasses

Things'll look a whole lot better for the working classes (working classes)

I knew I'd get what what I asked for



I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
