Pop, Iggy - Five Foot One Lyrics






Yeah, I like it
Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!

I'm only five foot one
I got a pain in my neck
I'm looking up in the city
What the hell what the heck

I stare at the concrete
The girders eye high
The steel's above me
There's love in my eyes

And I'm doing the things
A five foot one man can do

I'm only five foot one
I got a pain in my heart
All the night I'm working
In the amusement park

With a bottle of aspirin
A sack full of jokes
I wish I could go home
With all the big folks

And I wish life could be
Swedish magazines
I wish life could be
Swedish magazines
I wish life could be
Anything
Ugh! Aie! Aie! Aie!
Ugh!

I'm only five foot one
Unless the time has come
I won't grow anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore

'Till I'm losing my head
I'm checkin' it twice
I'm gonna find out who's naughty and nice

And I'm doing the things a five foot one man can do

I wish life could be Swedish magazines [3x]
I wish life could be
Yeah, I wish life could be
Oooooooooohhh
I wish life could be

I wish life could be Swedish magazines
I wish life could be Swedish magazines
I wish life could be

I won't grow anymore [3x]
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore

I'm only five foot one [3x]
I'm five foot one

    Mr. Pop would have been perfect for the role of a Dr.Jekyll/Mr. Hyde character if they ever made a gothic horror film during that period.

    Danny DeVito's theme song

  74. L.... G....

    <3 <3 <3

  75. J.... ....

    The decline of this artist started from Blah Blah Blah and so on

  76. G.... ....

    Saw Iggy back around early 2000's I think it was. Anyway, standing there bellied up against the front of the stage he comes romping out, arms flailing. Talk about energy, the place went nuts. As some others have pointed out, "peeled the paint off the walls". Awesome performer.

  77. O.... ....

    I think this and the I'm Bored video was shot in New Zealand.

  78. p.... &....

    stooges era and the idiot era is the best iggy.

  79. C.... l....

    Trop bon

  80. M.... F....

    Saw Iggy at Selina’s in Coogee (Sydney 1980s). He was very late and by the time he got on stage everyone was angry. There were scratches on his chest like he’d scrapped with a cat. I was near the front when there was a surge and I got wedged with feet off the ground and lost both my shoes and went home bare foot.

    M.... F....

    crazy night damn

  81. e.... ....

    fukyessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

  82. M.... L....

    te amo iggy volve a uruguayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy <3

  83. F.... X....

    The clothes never stay on for long do they

    F.... X....

    You don't reckon the teeth colour might be for effect do you...?!?

    F.... X....

    He's a performer... You want him to be NO FUN or BORED 🙄

    F.... X....

    @Kelly Gardner He's the Chairman.

    F.... X....

    Did you see his teeth, it looks like he ate a whole package of Oreos before the shoot.

    F.... X....

    He's doing the things a five foot one man can do....

  84. L.... S....

    Love my Iggy

  85. A.... S....

    New Values is a great album.

    A.... S....

    That it is. Five foot one, I'm Bored, Girls, Endless Sea so many great songs

    A.... S....

    I'm finding that out myself..totally missed it.

    A.... S....

    I put it in the same league as the first two.

    A.... S....

    @Gareth Gillatt Angel is an amazing song too

    A.... S....

    Don't look down....

  86. S.... ....

    Haha what a brilliant artist

  87. D.... ....

    Should've eaten more as a child. And brushed his teeth

    D.... ....

    DasSuper someone is fat and jealous, but yeah he needed a toothbrush for a while. I imagine he has dentures now

    D.... ....

    @Mark Rago He blackened his teeth for the video.

  88. L.... S....

    Love you Iggy!

  89. �.... ....

    Ummmm...... I've seen weirder things :)

  90. c.... ....

    Who'd have thought that the Ig would feel a need to remove his shirt? I, also, wish life could be Swedish magazines...
    This album was criminally ignored by the label at the time. It has several great songs, as well as a catchy pop sensibility, not to mention a twisted sense of humor...guess it was doomed to fail...

  91. D.... C....

    If Liam was more the goof ball and the gallahger bros didn't take themselves so seriously they could whip up something that kicks ass just as easily and care free as iggy when he lost the stooges. we all know who the king of pop really is don't we?

  92. S.... S....

    happened to his TEETH?

  93. H.... ....

    damn it iggy, i scroll down for ONE second and your shirt is off. AGAIN. lol

    H.... ....

    Lol I scrolled up just after reading your comment and he was shirtless already x)

    H.... ....

    Doomsdaycat its confirmed, he's allergic to shirts. not like his physique is THAT bad tbh ;)

    H.... ....

    a healthy iguana !

  94. M.... R....

    Iggy...seen him 10 times at least in the northeast. Dude should have been a bodybuilder....a little juice and weights and he would have been great

  95. p.... d....

    I love this song. It's a random pick.
