Very cool, it was written by Abdullah Shoaib.

The general topic reminds me of a song that I am sure reads only one way. I love the music but the lyrics are so depressing if not frightening. Perhaps needless to say this was only issued as a single B-side.

UGLY

Don't look in the mirror
I don't like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer
I'll never see what you see
It's not me
So beautiful and free
I'll never be what you need
I can't help it at all
I was born so beautiful
But now I'm ugly
And I rot in my skin
As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I'm nothing
I know there's nothing I can say
To change
The judgment in their ways
I'll never be what you need
I can't help it at all
My love was so beautiful
But now I'm ugly
Yeah
I'm good enough, but I don't care
I'm good enough, but I'm not there
I'm good enough, but I don't care
The sun is out, but I'm not there
I don't look in the mirror
I don't like what I see staring back at me
Everything is clearer
I'll never see what you see
And I rot in my skin
As a piece of me dies everyday
I know I'm nothing
Because I'm ugly

A wordsmith, yes--genius, no. As an old English and Literature teacher , I’ve seen lots of these kinds of things. It is interesting.

All I know is pretty ugly is a great oxymoron along with jumbo shrimp.
