Hannigan, Lisa - Oh! You Pretty Things Lyrics






Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Look out at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
They're the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
We've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

    [Verse 1]
    Wake up you sleepy head
    Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
    Put another log on the fire for me
    I've made some breakfast and coffee
    Look out my window and what do I see
    A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
    All the nightmares came today
    And it looks as though they're here to stay

    [Chorus]
    Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
    Don't you know you're driving your
    Mamas and Papas insane
    Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
    Don't you know you're driving your
    Mamas and Papas insane
    Let me make it plain
    You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

    [Verse 2]
    Look out at your children
    See their faces in golden rays
    Don't kid yourself they belong to you
    They're the start of a coming race
    The earth is a b****
    We've finished our news
    Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
    All the strangers came today
    And it looks as though they're here to stay

    [Chorus]
    Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
    Don't you know you're driving your
    Mamas and Papas insane
    Oh you pretty things (oh you pretty things)
    Don't you know you're driving your
    Mamas and Papas insane
    Let me make it plain
    You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

  7. h.... ....

    I've never heard a version of this song that didn't just make Bowie's original sound that much better, but this is actually a pretty interesting interpretation.

  8. A.... D....

    Anyone else here NOT because of Legion? I found this trawling Spotify for melancholic melodies.

    A.... D....

    Lisa Hannigan fans, maybe.

    A.... D....

    I'm here because I love Blue diamond and David Bowie XD

  9. A.... F....

    Wake up you sleepy head
    Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
    Put another log on the fire for me
    I've made some breakfast and coffee
    Look out my window and what do I see
    A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
    All the nightmares came today
    And it looks as though they're here to stay

    What are we coming to
    No room for me, no fun for you
    I think about a world to come
    Where the books were found by the Golden ones
    Written in pain, written in awe
    By a puzzled man who questioned
    What we were here for
    All the strangers came today
    And it looks as though they're here to stay

    Oh you Pretty Things
    Don't you know you're driving your
    Mamas and Papas insane
    Oh you Pretty Things
    Don't you know you're driving your
    Mamas and Papas insane
    Let me make it plain
    You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

    Look out at your children
    See their faces in golden rays
    Don't kid yourself they belong to you
    They're the start of a coming race
    The earth is a bitch
    We've finished our news
    Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
    All the strangers came today
    And it looks as though they're here to stay

    Oh you Pretty Things
    Don't you know you're driving your
    Mamas and Papas insane
    Oh you Pretty Things
    Don't you know you're driving your
    Mamas and Papas insane
    Let me make it plain
    You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

    legion s1e6 <3

  25. b.... ....

    one of those that is better than the original...

    b.... ....

    Its different which is good but better no chance mate! Listen to whole Hunky Dorey album it was a gift to the world. Loved this in legion though.

  26. s.... ....

    100% POWER HEART MELTER !

  27. A.... ....

    Legion brought me here :)

  28. a.... ....

    This is my absolute all-time favorite song and I might even say that this cover is even better than the original!!! Fantastic voice and a wonderful Sigur Ros tune =)

  29. s.... ....

    This woman's voice, transports me to a hypnotic plane of bliss. It would be hard to find a more beautiful voice on planet Earth. She is truly gifted !!

  30. R.... A....

    Sydney Barrett(Rachel Keller) brought me here.

  31. n.... �....

    Legion brought me here

  32. S.... D....

    beautiful. amazing cover of an amazing song on an amazing show. it fits well, the timing is perfect.

  33. D.... ....

    Legion. Love this version.

  34. T.... M....

    Can't believe this song wasn't made specifically with mutants/Legion in mind. It fits so perfectly.

    T.... M....

    makes me wonder if chris claremont was listening to this when he came up with "homo-superior"

    T.... M....

    just aliens and the occult.

    T.... M....

    The Bowie version always made me think of the X-Men, for obvious reasons.

  35. R.... T....

    I'd love to see her and Radiohead?

    R.... T....

    I'm not sure how to answer this question.

  36. M.... J....

    I'm glad I wasn't the only one who came here after watching Legion epi6

    M.... J....

    I think everyone is here by Legion and no by Lisa. Sad, haha.

    M.... J....

    Even sadder, they're not here because of the David Bowie classic that Lisa is covering. Look it up, take a listen.

    M.... J....

    The Greatest Bird I just got here from youtube suggestion from Undertow :d Loving this

    M.... J....

    i'm here because i recognized it as a Bowie cover.

  37. N.... L....

    This doesn't have nearly enough views. It has been stuck in my head since I heard it on Legion. Brilliant cover!

  38. Z.... ....

    I never knew Blue Diamond was such a fan of Earth music.

    Z.... ....

    Lisa Hannigan, please. She's not a caricature.

    Z.... ....

    It was a joke. Sheesh.

  39. R.... T....

    with absurdtube with this - I didn't know it was a Bowie song (shame on me!), and heard this on Legion. This is brilliantly atmospheric and was perfect on Legion too.

  40. c.... ....

    i'm here because of lisa hannigan. anything this lady does is absolutely amazing😭😍💖

  41. W.... H....

    Legion brought me here! :)

  42. s.... ....

    Fucking Lisa Hannigan seriously made a cover! Like WOW!!

    s.... ....

    ''Fucking' not in a bad way just to express even more her musical talent *_*

  43. B.... ....

    Amahl Farouk sent me

    B.... ....

    Come at me, bro!

  44. B.... a....

    thanks legion

  45. C.... C....

    I'm here because Legion too.... great cover... :)

  46. Y.... ....

    Finally the full version!

  47. K.... ....

    Blue Diamond from SU

  48. s.... ....

    it would be great if that instrument (Didgeridoo?) wasn't playing so loud.. just my opinion

    s.... ....

    I'm not sure, but I actually think it's a harmonium. Lisa has never included anything like a didgeridoo. :) Cheers!

    s.... ....

    It’s a cello guys! 😊

  49. O.... ....

    Dave would be proud!

  50. K.... ....

    Magneto approves of this song

    K.... ....

    Kerokero - Well, you gotta make room for the Homo Superior.

  51. C.... B....

    Legion, thanks.

  52. B.... H....

    Legion <3

  53. l.... ....

    it's so terrible that I can't even believe this

    l.... ....

    Like Morrissey says "If you don't like me then dont look at me". Cheers!

    l.... ....

    linkerf then why are you here?

  54. B.... J....

    BJB GAMER.2 IS THE BEST YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT HIS CHANNEL

  55. R.... S....

    I'm pretty sure i'll be the reason this will get 1 Million Views

  56. S.... P....

    Legion <3

  57. R.... S....

    OMG I heard this on Legion S1E6

  58. H.... U....

    You could wait a long time to hear a version of a song that ranks as an interpretation, and not just another cover. Well sometimes it is worth the wait. WOW!

    H.... U....

    Bowie would have loved this interpretation. Just like Nina Simone, Lisa gives an original and transformative rendition of a song by a classic songwriter.

  59. D.... J....

    OST from Legion series

    D.... J....

    link pls, i couldn't find it

  60. A.... ....

    Heard this on the end credits for Legion and I was absolutely floored. Absolutely brilliant cover.

    A.... ....

    absurdtube same, I had to find it immediately.

    A.... ....

    Me too!

    A.... ....
