The Ugly Underneath by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
First there's the handshake
It's so warm that you could bake by it
Designed to take attention from their
Ugly Underneath
Then there's the wedding
The co-ordinated bedding
And the fairy tale shredding
Boy it's Ugly Underneath
After the pretty
There's a gluttony of pity
On a cake called nitty gritty
And it's Ugly Underneath
Did you ever try to prise away the mask
Go ahead, take a spoon and try
I can tell you it's a herculean task
Go ahead, it's okay to cry
What you're chewing on's the truth
And that's the hardest thing
To wash down with a glass of lemonade
The Ugly Underneath
The thing with politicians is
I wouldn't have suspicions
If I saw their worst positions
And their Ugly Underneath
But after all the voting
Suck away the sugar coating
Now they've had you and they're gloating
Boy it's Ugly Underneath
Did you ever try to take away the wheel
Go ahead, take a fork and try
See the unattractive things that make us real
Go ahead, it's okay to cry
What you've trodden in's the truth
And that's the hardest thing
To wash down with a glass of lemonade

Designed to take attention from their
Ugly Underneath
Then there's the wedding

And the fairy tale shredding
Boy it's Ugly Underneath

There's a gluttony of pity
On a cake called nitty gritty

The Ugly Underneath (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Primero está el apretón de manos
Es tan cálido que podrías hornear con él
Diseñado para desviar la atención de su
Fealdad Subyacente
Luego está la boda
La ropa de cama coordinada
Y el cuento de hadas destrozado
Vaya, es Fealdad Subyacente
Después de lo bonito
Hay una glotonería de lástima
En un pastel llamado lo esencial
Y es Fealdad Subyacente
¿Alguna vez intentaste quitar la máscara?
Adelante, toma una cuchara e inténtalo
Puedo decirte que es una tarea hercúlea
Adelante, está bien llorar
Lo que estás masticando es la verdad
Y eso es lo más difícil
De tragar con un vaso de limonada
La Fealdad Subyacente
Lo que pasa con los políticos es
No tendría sospechas
Si viera sus peores posiciones
Y su Fealdad Subyacente
Pero después de toda la votación
Quita el recubrimiento de azúcar
Ahora te han tenido y están regodeándose
Vaya, es Fealdad Subyacente
¿Alguna vez intentaste quitar la rueda?
Adelante, toma un tenedor e inténtalo
Mira las cosas poco atractivas que nos hacen reales
Adelante, está bien llorar
Lo que has pisado es la verdad
Y eso es lo más difícil
De tragar con un vaso de limonada
