Lush - Ladykiller

video @ youtube

Here we go, I'm hanging out in Camden
Drink with my girlfriends on a Saturday night

This guy says,
"come and meet my girlfriend"
She's sitting in the corner,
looking rather uptight.

So I say "hello" and I try to be nice
But I see he's feeling itchy
Trying to play us off each other,
"Girls, girls, please don't fight"
(you get the picture)

Hey you, the muscles and the long hair
Telling me that women are superior to men
Most guys just don't appreciate this
You just try convincing me you're better than them

So he talks for hours 'bout his sensitive soul
And his favorite subject is sex
I don't even think he really wanted it
But, Christ this guy's too much
(I wanna tell him)

I'm as human as the next girl,
I like a bit of flattery
But I don't need your practised lines,
your school of charm mentality, so
Save your breath for someone else
and credit me with something more.
When it comes to men like you,
I know the score,
I've heard it all before.

(Here comes the next one)
Blondie was with me for a summer
He flirted like a maniac but I wouldn't bite
I'm weak and he was so persistent
He only had to have me 'cause I put up a fight

Oh God, the boy had such an ego
He liked to talk about himself
all day and all night
You think you're such a ladykiller
But you were nothing special
'til you turned out the light

When he's nice to me,
he's just nice to himself,
And he's watching his reflection.
I'm a five foot mirror
for adoring himself
Here's seven years bad luck!
(I wanna tell him)

When you say you love me,
you're just flattering your vanity.
But I don't need your practised lines,
your school of charm mentality, so
Save your breath for someone else
and credit me with something more.
When it comes to men like you,
I know the score,
I've heard it all before.

Ooh, you're such a ladykiller,
always on a winner,
thinking that you're in there
Oh boy, you're such a ladykiller,
super sexy mister,
call it what you will, oh
You think you're such a lady killer,
I just bet you're still there,
posing in the mirror
Hey girls, he's such a ladykiller,
but we know where he's coming from

and we know the score.

You are LOVELY. This song is awesome, and also, I will admit it – I saw you had public files on Mediafire (or if that's not you, someone did!) and what was on there but "Dog Days Are Over," which I have been trying to find a copy of for A MONTH. Downloaded both!

It is, in fact, me. <3
