Momus - Girlie Action lyrics

Look at Dawn, she's strapped on
A pair of inflatable David Cassidy knees

And another hundred bands just got
Off of the plane
Seeking attention, hungry for fame

My brother Benjamin he's a physician
But, I was the conventional
One i'm a musician

I could have been the model I saw in the lift
If I hadn't been born with this terrible gift

Here in New York I'm just a drop in the ocean
What I need now is
Some incredible press promotion

Girlie Action satisfaction

Well Heidi does national
She crosses the zones
Felice is always wearing earphones

Vicky's got an office above Lafayette
And on a clear day you can see Tibet

Here's a cassette you'll love our sound
We're playing tonight at the Mercury
Lounge in the round

Look at Dawn, she's strapped on
An extra-long Stephin Merrit nose
(see how it glows)

Girlie Action satisfaction

And the man from the Voice
Doesn't want to know
Doesn't he dig thrash zydeco?

And another hundred bands just got
Off of the plane
Seeking attention, hungry for fame

Girlie Action, Girlie Action
