DESCRIPTION:
The Beautiful People Are Ugly Too from The Clash´s Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg.
RPFFB (as I have decided it should be abbreviated as) was, or is, what was originally planned to be the album that evolved into Combat Rock, and features along the Combat Rock songs a number of unreleased ones, such as this one.
The Beautiful People Are Ugly Too is also commmonly known as The Fullham Connection, and according The Clash Wiki and some people I´ve spoken too (on the internet) Mick Jones has confirmed that to be its correct name, but I´ve yet to see the proof and the Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg 'release' titles it...well, The Beautiful People Are Ugly Too. So that´s what I call it.

Anyho. This is a pretty damn beautiful song if you ask me, with some pretty damn beautiful lyrics too, though to be perfectly honest I can understand why it didn´t make it to the final Combat Rock release.

Lyrics:

"I see the law caught your hands on the stuff
And if that wasn't enough
Means I totally fell for your bluff
Oh how you kicked off that stuff


Oh the beautiful people are ugly too!
There's gonna be a lot of washin' when the dance is through


Now you're face, without pretence
Is lit up on the fence


You, you, you, you!
You can buy another singer like you gotta lotta money!
You, you, you, you!
You can buy another singer like you gotta lotta money!


All those who feign indifference
Whether to be, or become past tense
The forgotten part of old acquaintance
Who stiffed out on the Itchykoo park bench


Admit it!
You thought you were the hero
Of the Fulham Connection 2
Yeah the flashing strip
You flashed your jewels
But now the credits
It must roll through


You, you, you, you!
You can buy another singer like you gotta lotta money!
You, you, you, you!
You can buy another singer like you gotta lotta money!


A fatal mistake - they lived a year in a week
And ready to be great if you gotta receipt


You, you, you, you!
You can buy another singer like you gotta lotta money!
You, you, you, you!
You can buy another singer like you gotta lotta money!


Can't get a lotta swing along a letter to jail
The beautiful people are ugly too!
There's gonna be a lot of washin' when the dance is through
Now the beautiful people are ugly too!"

RIP Joe
