Scouting for Girls Everybody Wants to Be on Lyrics
1.This Ain't a Love Song

Every night I remember that evening
The way you looked when you said you were leaving
The way you cried when you turn and walk away

The cruel words and the false accusations
The mean looks and the same old frustrations
I never thought that we'd throw it all away
But we threw it all away
And I'm a little bit lost without you,
and I'm a bloody big mess inside.
And I'm a little bit lost without you.
This aint a love song, this is goodbye.
This aint a love song, this is goodbye.

I've been lost, 'Ive been out I've been losing
I've been tired, I'm all hurt and confusion.
I've been mad, I've been the kind of man that I'm not.

And though I'm down, I'll be coming back fighting
I may be scared and a little bit frightened
But I'll be back, Ill be coming back to life.
I'll be coming back to life.
And I'm a little bit lost without you,
and I'm a bloody big mess inside.
And I'm a little bit lost without you.
This aint a love song, this is goodbye.
This aint a love song, this is goodbye.

You can try, you can try
but you'll never keep me down.
You can try, you can try
but you'll never keep me down

I will be lost, I will be down.
And I'm a little bit lost without you,
and I'm a bloody big mess inside.
And I'm a little bit lost without you.
But this aint a love song, this is goodbye
It's alright , it's alright,
cos you can try but you'll never keep me down.
It's alright, it's alright,
I may be lost but you'll never keep me down
You can try, you can try
but you'll never keep me down.
You can try, you can try
I know I'm lost but I'm waiting to be found.

You can never keep me down

You can never keep me down

never keep me down.


2.Little Miss Naughty

Mirror Mirror on the wall,
How could I be such a fool?
Mirror Mirror I can't see myself no more.

Breathe, breathe in.
Welcome to a town called Original Sin.
Breathe, breathe out.
Easy getting in, it ain't easy getting out.
Cry, out loud.
If you're in for penny, you're in for a pound.
Don't, don't pause.
You're just another sad case, another lost cause.
Mirror Mirror on the wall,
How could I be such a fool?
Mirror Mirror I can't see myself no more.
A little mistake, and that's how you caught me,
Running around with little miss naughty.
A little mistake, Am I seeing double?
I see in your eyes you're gonna be trouble.
You're gonna be trouble.
You're gonna be trouble.

Breathe, breathe In
If only you could see all the trouble I'm in
Breathe, breathe Out
Another house of cards comes tumbling down
Mirror Mirror on the wall,
How could I be such a fool?
Mirror Mirror I can't see myself no more.
A little mistake, and that's how you caught me,
Running around with little miss naughty.
A little mistake, Am I seeing double?
I see in your eyes you're gonna be trouble.
You're gonna be trouble.
Mirror Mirror on the wall,
How could I be such a fool?
Mirror Mirror I can't see myself no more.
A little mistake, and that's how you caught me,
Running around with little miss naughty.
A little mistake, Am I seeing double?
I see in your eyes you're gonna be trouble.
You're gonna be trouble.
La la la la la la la la.


3.Goodtime Girl

No one knew your name or cared at school.
Everybody knows that kids are cruel.
You went from troubled teen and became a beauty queen.
I got mixed up somewhere in between.
Now I'm losing, I'm losing, my mind yeah I'm losing.
My mind is missing, presumed lost.
Now I'm losing, I'm losing, my mind yeah I'm losing.
Don't want you back no matter what.
Everybody wants to know your name now baby,
All I want to do is to forget.
Everybody wants to know your name now angel,
All I want to do is to forget.

You took me in and shook me up inside.
You got the stuff, the stuff that drives me wild.
You wanted headlines; you wanted bright lights;
I was just your cheap and easy ride.
Now I'm losing, I'm losing, my mind yeah I'm losing.
My mind is missing, presumed lost.
Now I'm losing, I'm losing, my mind yeah I'm losing.
Don't want you back no matter what.

All I got are reasons to forget.

She's cool, she's cruel, and that's how you fall

She's keen, she's mean, who knows where she's been?
Is this farewell to the goodtime girl?

4.Famous

Staying in again on a Saturday night,
I'm going to settle on the sofa
and turn down the lights.
I got 900 channels but there's nothing to see,
No wonder everybody thinks they should be on TV.

We all want to be famous.
Be a face on the screen.
Read our name in the papers.
Everybody wants to be on TV.

Everybody wants to be on TV.
Forget Audrey Hepburn, Forget Bette Davis.
I want to be known, just for being famous.
I can't act, I can't dance,
I can't sing, can't you see?
But I'm young and I'm pretty
and that's all that you need.

We all want to be famous.
Be a face on the screen.
Read our name in the papers.
Everybody wants to be on TV.

Everybody wants to be like James Dean.
I want to be the star tonight,
And complain about fame in a story I sell to the news.
I want to be the star tonight,
Want to make the front page
as I pose for the boys in the nude.
We all want to be famous.
Be a face on the screen.
Read our name in the papers.
Everybody wants to be like James Dean

We all want. We want to be famous.
We all want. to be like James Dean.
We all want. We want to be famous.
We all want. to be on TV.
We all want. We want to be famous.
We all want. to be like James Dean.
We all want. We want to be famous.
We all want. to be on TV.
We all want. We want to be famous.
We all want. to be like James Dean.


5.Silly Song

Here's a song. You can sing along too.
For when I've gone away.
It's a silly tune. I wrote for you.
You can sing it everyday.
I don't want to leave you.
I don't want to leave you tonight
I don't want to leave you.
I don't want to leave you behind.
I don't want to leave you tonight.

So if you're down and I'm not around.
And the days seem far too long.
Well I'll be there, if you're ever scared,
you can hear me sing along.

I don't want to leave you.
I don't want to leave you tonight.
I don't want to leave you.
I don't want to leave you behind.
I don't want to leave you tonight.

And I know it's hard.
But life's a bit like that.
When it pulls you down and stabs you in the back.
And I know it's hard.
But we'll get through this I know.
I didn't know you'd be gone for so long.
I didn't know you'd be gone for so long.
I didn't know you'd be gone for so long.
I didn't know you'd be gone for so long.

I don't want to leave you.
I don't want to leave you tonight.
I don't want to leave you.
I don't want to leave you tonight.
I don't want to leave you.
I don't want to leave you behind.
I don't want to leave you.
I don't want to leave you tonight.
I don't want to leave you.
I don't want to leave you behind.
I don't want to leave you tonight.


6.On the Radio

On the radio, on the radio,
on the radio, on the radio...

Radio station, that's where you came from.
It's the sound of the summer,
and everyone is singing along.
You danced to the beat of the drum.
Memories make music, music make memories.
The moon in the sky on the hot summer nights
That we partied, we stayed out all night long.

You haunt me in a pop song.
She haunts me in a pop song, on the radio.
Every night you've been gone
She haunts me in a pop song, on the radio.
Oh, No. They've been playing our song out, everywhere I go.
Oh, as it plays, it keeps me on hold, I'm radio controlled.
Oh. No. They've been playing your song out, everywhere I go.
Oh as it plays, I can see your smile like it was yesterday
On the radio, on the radio,
on the radio, on the radio...
You left in the autumn, without any warning,
But the music still played through the wind and the rain.
And the summer, the summer lived on in my walkman.
I wanted to hate you, but I can't escape you.
You're in every song, you're in every song from the past.
A ghost from the radio mast.

She haunts me in a pop song.
She haunts me in a pop song, on the radio.
Every night you've been gone
She haunts me in a pop song, on the radio.
Oh, No. They've been playing our song out, everywhere I go.
Oh, as it plays, it keeps me on hold, I'm radio controlled.
Oh. No. They've been playing your song out, everywhere I go.
Oh as it plays, I can see your smile like it was yesterday
I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone.
Wired to the radio.
I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone.
But you're everywhere I go.

Every night you've been gone
You haunt me in a pop song, on the radio.
Oh, No. They've been playing your song out, everywhere I go.
Oh, as it plays, it keeps me on hold, I'm radio controlled.
Oh. No. They've been playing our song out, everywhere I go.
Oh as it plays, I can see your smile like it was yesterday
On the radio, on the radio,
on the radio, on the radio...


7.Blue as Your Eyes

Am I falling apart? Is this falling in love?
Am I going insane?
You're scratched on my heart.
You're scratched on my heart;
you're etched on my brain.

And every word; every word that you said
goes round and round in my head.
Round like a cyclone in my mind.

I've been trying to, get a hold on you.
I've been trying to, get a hold on you.
I've been trying to, get a hold on you.
On this crazy world of mine
Everyday. Right from the start.
When I showed you my hand, I gave you my heart.
Falling in love, feeling alive,
Clear as the mud, I'm blue as your eyes.
Blue as your eyes.

Is it all in my head?
You turn me away - you beg me to stay.
Is it something I said?
You want it to change, you want it the same.

I've been trying to, get a hold on you.
I've been trying to, get a hold on you.
I've been trying to, get a hold on you.
On this crazy world of mine
Everyday. Right from the start.
When I showed you my hand, I gave you my heart.
Falling in love, feeling alive,
Clear as the mud, I'm blue as your eyes.
Blue as your eyes...
Everyday. Right from the start.
When I showed you my hand, I gave you my heart.
Falling in love, feeling alive,
Clear as the mud, I'm blue as your eyes.
Everyday. Right from the start.
When I showed you my hand, I gave you my heart.
Falling in love, feeling alive,
Clear as the mud, I'm blue as your eyes.

Everyday... blue as your eyes.


8.Posh Girls

She passed, she's class.
Candy for the eye and a twinkle in her smile,
And she looks like butter wouldn't melt.

He's bewitched, her daddy's rich.
You can see she comes from money,
but she's still a little honey.
And it looks like butter wouldn't melt.
He stuttered
'Oh I never thought I'd say this,
but I think your so -
Awfully nice. Is that alright?' she said 'fine'
He was a little bit scared, a little apprehensive
He was just a boy from a local comprehensive.
But he'd heard that.
Posh girls have good manners,
but they go like the clappers,
Because they never got to hang around with boys at school.
Posh girls have good manners,
but they go like the clappers,
Because they never got to hang around with boys at school.
She seems, pristine, but don't be deceived,
cause she's not that naive
Although it looks like butter wouldn't melt.
He had a fright, that night.
She'd opened his eyes to a world of surprise,
And the butter, oh the butter it had gone, it had gone.
She said 'oh'.
With a twinkle in her eye, she said oh my -
Take me home tonight'
He was a little bit scared, a little apprehensive
He was just a boy from a local comprehensive.
But he'd heard that.
Posh girls have good manners,
but they go like the clappers,
Because they never got to hang around with boys at school.
Posh girls have good manners,
but they go like the clappers,
Because they never got to hang around with boys at school.
There's nothing like a little bit of class.
Wrapped in a perfect arse.
There's nothing like a little bit of class.
The poor boy never stood a chance.

Is it true what they say about posh girls?
Is it true what they say about posh girls?
Is it true what they say?
Is it true what they say about posh girls?

Posh girls have good manners,
but they go like the clappers,
Because they never got to hang around with boys at school.
Posh girls have good manners,
but they go like the clappers,
Because they never got to hang around with boys at school.
There's nothing like a little bit of class.
Wrapped up in a perfect arse.
There's nothing like a little bit of class.
The poor boy never stood a chance.
There's nothing like a little bit of class.
They'll all said it's never gonna last.
There's nothing like a little bit of class.
Wrapped up in a perfect arse.


9.1+1

I never wanted to forget that night we had.
Dinner, dancing, drinks, and then back to my pad.
Bang, bang, bang who's the man?
You were a naughty girl, the best I've ever had.
'Take off your clothes, take off your clothes'
that's what she said.
'Take off your clothes, take off your clothes
and come to bed.
'I've got my needs, but I don't need sleep.'
'Take off your clothes, take off your clothes
and come to bed'
It used to be just me,
but that's how one and one makes three.

Three months later on the phone I've got your dad.
He's not a happy man, no he was flipping mad.
He's got the hump - you got the bump.
Now I got you and you got everything I had.
'Take off your clothes, take off your clothes'
that's what she said.
'Take off your clothes, take off your clothes
and come to bed.
'I've got my needs, but I don't need sleep.'

and come to bed'
It used to be just me,
but that's how one and one makes three.

10.Take a Chance

Take a chance before it's gone,
Throw me a rope or string me along.
I'm nothing without you.
This man is nothing without you.

I know it's been a difficult year,
It's been all I can do just to keep you near.
I want you to know,
You're the star of my show.

I'll sing these songs about you.
It wouldn't be the same without you.
I know you try to hide;
I know you try to act tough.
Take a chance on us
Take a chance on us, put your arm round love,
and let it pull you up, tonight.
Take a chance on us, I won't give us up,
take a chance on us tonight

I always thought that we could make it through,
If you gave me the chance I always knew.
I don't care what they say,
You were mine all the way.

And though it seems like it's pouring again,
You don't get flowers without no rain.
Look what we've done -
Look how far we have come.

I'll sing these songs about you.
It wouldn't be the same without you.
I know you try to hide;
I know you try to act tough.
But Take a chance on us
Take a chance on us.
Throw your arm round
and let it pull you up tonight.
Take a chance on us
But I won't give us up
Take a chance on us tonight

Take a chance on us.
Throw your arm round
and let it pull you up tonight.
I know that times are tough.
I know we ain't got much.
But I can't give us up, tonight.
Take a chance on us.
Throw your arm round
and let it pull you up tonight.
Take a chance on us.
I know we ain't got much.
But I won't give us up, tonight.
Take a chance on us.
Throw your arm round
and let it pull you up tonight.
