Iggy Pop - Shades Lyrics






You gave me a present
The paper was blue and green
I unwrapped it with pleasure
These are the best shades I've ever seen
You can be my girlfriend
Forever and a day
I never thought I was worth much
Or that anyone would treat me this way

[Chorus]
I'm not
The kind of guy
Who dresses like a king
And a really fine pair of shades
Means everything
And the light that blinds my eyes
Shines from you
It makes me come in the night
It makes me swim with delight
I like this pain
I like this mirror
I like these shades

I could have had a problem
I might have never followed through
The other guys are in trouble
They wouldn't listen to a girl like you
These shades say something
I'll bet they cost a lot
I hope I don't break 'em
I hope we don't break up

[Chorus]

    Iggy, David, Lou... a 15 anni ascoltavo le loro canzoni e dopo più di 30 ho la conferma di quanto siano ancora belle...

    The Best man ever!!David Bowie voice in the background...he was helping with the album and this song

    And when he says "I'm not the kind of guy who dresses like a king" he was referring to him, as they composed this album.
