I Found That Essence Rare Lyrics - Entertainment! - 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 a Bikini 

She doesn't think so but she's dressed for the H-Bomb 

(For the H-Bomb) 

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 are monkeys 

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

(Hold themselves down) 

I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for 

I knew I'd get what I asked for 

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 Polaroid glasses 

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

(Working classes) 

I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for 

I knew I'd get what I asked for 

I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for 

I knew I'd get what I asked for
