Anorexic Beauty Lyrics

Artist: Pulp
Album: Freaks

Sitting alone on a cold bar stool,
your cold, hard eyes make me feel a fool.
Pastel-white features,
high cheek-bones,
scarlet-blooded lips and deathly tones.

The girl of my nightmares,
sultry and corpse-like.
The girl
of my
nightmares.

Brittle fingers,
and thin cigarettes,
so hard to tell apart,
she hasn't spoken yet.
You put your hand on mine,
death white on brown,
those whirlpool eyes;
well, I begin to drown.

The girl of my nightmares,
erotic and skull-faced.
The girl
of my
nightmares.

Anorexic beauty,
feather-weight perfection,
anorexic beauty,
underweight
goddess.

Sitting alone on
a cold bar stool, your
so hard to tell apart,
she hasn't spoken yet.
Pastel-white features,
high cheek-bones,
scarlet-blooded lips and deathly tones.

The girl of my nightmares,
sultry and corpse-like.
The girl
of my
nightmares.

Anorexic beauty,
feather-weight perfection,
anorexic beauty,
underweight
goddess.

I thought he wrote to express sth that men think when they see a skinny girl...

My god it's lovely written... The good sides and bad are splitted... But i love this song, found it on alot of pro ana sites. It kinda describes me, especially the chorus :)

people shouldnt argue over this...and i dont agree that if you share your disorder and try to help eachother reach what you want is being "wanarexic"..i mean, after i had been forced into recovery, i went through a time when i did that..because i wasnt over my obsession..still not completely over it now..but the point is, whether youre ana or "wanarexic", we all strive for perfection. so why put eachother down? seems silly to me..we all suffer from this stuff..why compete for who is the better sufferer??

i think the only reason anorexia is considered an illness is because it's harmful to your health. People will tell you you're nuts continuously until you believe it. But never give in to other people's scrutiny. A lot of times they're just jealous and insecure. Striving for anorexia should be regarded as an honourable pursuit because it means you don't just settle for mediocre and are willing to work hard for your own satisfaction and happiness.

I don't think Jarvis is saying any particular good sides about th woman he see's before him? I think he's describing a person that he thinks could be beautiful and amazing, but has pushed themself beyond that point, and it scares him slightly.

Are you all stupid? This song IS NOT pro ana AT ALL. It actually mocks the idea of wanting to be overweight just to be "beautiful" - when there is actually nothing beautiful in anorexia. It takes the piss out of it. Anorexia is terrible, and it only causes people to suffer. I love Pulp, I love Russell, I love this song. It's very smart, and it gets to the point perfectly.
