Palmer, Robert - Pride Lyrics
You want her attention
Well you'll have to wait
She's in the gymnasium
Reducing weight
Despite her age
The girl's gonna exercise
Your life away
Sister don't you jog it all away
Sister don't you run it all off
Sister don't you jog it all away
Sister don't you rough it all up
What an idea of fun
I don't know why you do
What has come over you?
The style in the discotheque
Is cheap and nice
Please tell Ms Fonda
To reduce her price
Anorexia nervosa mannequin
All this physicality
Will wear you thin
Hey Olivia Newton-John
What you say?
Hey Olivia Newton-John
What you say?
She used to yield like flesh
Now it's all muscle
She used to yield like flesh
Now it's all muscle
I don't know why you do
What has come over you
What an idea of fun
To get it on the run
Rollerskates and vitamins and diet plans
Academic discipline will ruin your hands
We used to ride tandem and have lots of fun
But bicycles for exercise are made for one

Palmer, Robert Pride Comments
Every time he laughs in this video, I just melt!
Naff video!
I think technically this was his finest work (IMHO)...so many style incorporated into this. Incredibly clever songwriting.
Interesting subject matter ;)
R.P. was a great artist & video maker but this song is about his sister who had an eating disorder but then he turns around & makes videos like "Simply Irresistible". No wonder girls has body image issues!
First, evidence is required to support your claim about his sister. Second, body image problems are quite complex and are far more likely to result from peer pressure and life issues than videos. Robert's amusing videos were minnows in the ocean of fashion industry propaganda, largely perpetuated by women and gay men.
"Hey Olivia Newton-John what you say'?
Insightful early criticism of the neoliberal body cult...and great song, too

Saunas and writing ✍️ aren’t excercise? You have got to be kidding. Hmmm. 😘
I'll take the bodybuilding chick and the one at 2:18.
The thumbs down came from someone with no soul.
1.21 I nearly passed out!
One of the most underrated artists of the 70s/80s.
That's a truly unoriginal thing to say about anyone....everyone says an artist is SO underrated.... LMAO! Robert Palmer is not underrated...he's a true legend and always will be even though he's no longer with us.
Genius.

@Nicolas Martin comeback of the year!
@Lena Wagenfuehr Can't go wrong with a quote from Sam Clemens.
Yes!! Although I prefer the version produced for the addictions album.
Oh yeah - that is a better version.
Agreed. That is a good remix.
