I Found That Essence Rare - Gang Of Four

Aim for the body rare, you’ll see it on TV

The worst thing in 1954 was the bikini

See the girl on the TV dressed in the bikini

She doesn’t think so but she’s dressed for the H-bomb

And I found that essence rare, it’s what I looked for

I knew I’d get what I asked for

Aim for the country fair you read it in the papers

The worst happens any week a scandal on the front page

See the happy pair smiling close like they’re monkeys

They wouldn’t think so but they’re holding themselves down

And I found that essence rare, it’s what I looked for

I knew I’d get what I asked for

Aim for politicians fair who’ll treat your vote hope well

The last thing they’ll ever do act in your interest

Look at the world through your polarised glasses

Things’ll look a whole lot better for the working classes
