Hello Silverado,
The song you are most likely referring to is called Youre Gorgeous
by UK group Blue Bird. It was released on their album Ugly
Beautiful in October, 1996.
In fact, Blue Bird started off as one person: Steven Jones. With the
snowballing of their success, Jones eventually took on other band
members: guitarist Luke Scott, bassist John Pedder, keyboardist Hugh
Chadbourne, and drummer Rob Gregory. Ugly Beautiful was this
bands first album, basically rerecordings of Jones original songs.

CDNow.com only has the vinyl LP, and is priced at $9.99. To quote
their review: To have been in the U.K. during the past few months
and not have heard Baby Birds decadent, crooning You're Gorgeous,
you'd have had to be living under a sizable rock.

There is a Google groups thread concerning this song and also a
variety of webpages that provide the lyrics:
Babybird - YOU'RE GORGEOUS
(Y. O. U. R. E. G. O. R. G. E. O. U. S.)
Remember that tanktop you bought me
You wrote "you're gorgeous" on it
You took me to your rented motor car
And filmed me on the bonnet
You got me to hitch my knees up
And pulled my legs apart
You took an instamatic camera
And pulled my sleeves around my heart
(CHORUS:)
Because you're gorgeous
I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous
I know you'll get me through
You said my clothes were sexy
You tore away my shirt
You rubbed an icecube on my chest
Snapped me till it hurt
(CHORUS)
You said I wasn't cheap
You paid me 20 pounds
You promised to put me in a magazine
On every table in every lounge
(CHORUS)
Because you're gorgeous
I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous
I know you'll get me, know you'll get me through
Know you'll get me through
Know you'll get me through
Know you'll get me, know you'll get me through
I know you'll get me, know you'll get me
Know you'll get me through
(CHORUS)
Because you're gorgeous
I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous
I know you'll get me, know you'll get me through
Know you'll get me through

This should be the song youre looking for (based on the lines you
remember, and the somewhat similar phonetics of conscious and
gorgeous). If not, please post any additional details you can
remember and Ill be happy to clarify my answer.
