Momus – Hotpants

From the album ‘MomusMcClymont‘ (2013).

Lyrics

Don’t look so sly as you glide by
Don’t look so down, unfrown that frown
Don’t kill no Bill, no people who
Are probably only muddling through
A bad day just like you

Shrug off your pain, you’ll be right as rain
Don’t kick when you can’t win
Kick off your shoes and sing…

Uptown top rankin’
We have dem goin’ an’ ting
Nah pop no style, I strictly roots

Look at what you’ve got
In your hotpants you look hot
Like Mary Tyler Moore
With a smile you keep obscure

Unpop that pill, don’t crack that gun
You’re spoiling everybody’s fun
By shooting everyone…

See me in m’ Benz an’ ting, oh
Drivin’ tru Constant Spring
Dem check sey me come from Cosmo Spring
But a true dem no know an’ ting
Dem no know sey we top rankin’, oh
Uptown top rankin’

Don’t kill no Bill, no people who
Are probably only muddling through
A bad day just like you

And I’ve been down and I’ve been had
And it looks bad but it’s not so bad…

Shoulda see me and de rankin’ dread, oh
Check ‘ow we jammin’ an’ ting
Love is all I bring
Inna m’ khaki suit an’ ting

Don’t pop no pill, you’ll make it through
I know you will, I believe in you…

Inna m’ khaki suit an’ ting
Love is all I bring
Inna m’ khaki suit an’ ting
Love is all I bring

Love is all you need, you will succeed
Swagger when you walk, let the hotpants talk

Nah pop no style, I strictly roots
Nah pop no style, I strictly roots

See me in me ‘alter back
Sey me gi’ you ‘eart attack, oh
See me in me ‘alter back
Sey me gi’ you ‘eart attack, oh

Gimme little bass, make m’ wine up m’ waist
Uptown top rankin’

Love is all I bring
Love is all I bring

Unpop that pill, don’t crack that gun
You’re spoiling everybody’s fun
By shooting everyone…
