You're So Vague Lyrics
In a crooked way
All the crooked walkin'
To avoid and evade
Skin like cream
Bet they say I love you
When you strip them thin
Baby, you're so vague
Baby, you're so vague
That you probably think this song ain't about you
Lick the razor blade
Girl I think I love you (girl I think I love you)
And the mess you made (and the mess you made)
It don't get you down
When you flash your fangs, fuck
You own this town
Baby, you're so vague
Baby, you're so vague
That you probably think this song ain't about you, uh
Baby, you're so vague
Baby, you're so vague
That you probably think this song ain't about you, uh
Baby, you're so vague (ah, ah)
Baby, you're so vague (ah, ah)
You're so vague (ah, ah)
Baby, you're so vague (ah, ah)
Baby, you're so vague (ah, ah)
Baby, you're so vague (ah, ah)
Baby, you're so vague (ah, ah)

Signed up just to comment on this song since it's so amazing.
Alright, the way I see it, he's talking about one of the hot popular girls. Yeah you know the ones, they're gorgeous, but they're complete bitches. I think that's where "Clear-eyed girl, In a crooked way" comes in. She's beautiful, but in a crooked way, which probably means she just has appearance going for her. And he pretty much goes on saying he loves her, but she doesn't know it because she's completely oblivious about this guy, "That you probably think this song ain't about you". That's my two cents.
Oh, and I think after the line "When you flash your fangs", he adds a "fuck" after.

Title and chorus are a spoof of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain"

Does anyone know where this song appears? I know it's not on any of their studio albums; was it on a single, an import, a soundtrack?

i think its off of one of their desert session albums...which isnt really QOTSA...but it might as well be..

nevermind, scratch that....its off an ep or some shit..

Its off a special bonus disc on Rated R that has Feel Good Hit of the Summer, Never Say Never, You're So Vague and Who'll be the Next in Line? I think it's only availible in the UK though

My version of rated r had this on it

Eh, good song. (: good, pumping beat like you expect from qotsa

i think this song is about fallin in love with a stripper or whore..lol

its a b-side from feel good hit of the summer, and thats whats the bonus disc is :)
