Chilly Gonzales, Jarvis Cocker - Howard Hughes Under the Microscope lyrics

[Chilly Gonzales, Jarvis Cocker - Howard Hughes Under the Microscope lyrics]

Oh well, where do we begin?
Um, well Hughes is, he is an example
Of the rich kid who says I'd
Like to get into movies, i'd
Like to be a movie star, I'd
Like to screw movie stars, i'd like
To own movie stars, I'd like to
Make movies i'm so rich, why not?

Hughes was crazy about flying
Flying and female breasts
And the, the iconography of his work
His career as a movie producer is there

He's a, he's a very, very American character
And it all comes from a
A drilling head for oil that
His father really perfected

The people who knew Hughes in
Those years liked him, which
Isn't quite the image you
Get now because you, we get this
Man who walks around with long hair
Long fingernails and stores his
Own urine and all that kind
Of thing you know
Stuff that we wouldn't like to
Be seen doing but
As a young man he was quite something

He's the kid who becomes so
Wealthy you can't measure it
He can do anything he likes and he dies alone

He is a mythic figure
