No Good Advice Lyrics
Daddy told me look into the future
Sit at your computer, be a good girl
And Mama said remember your a lady,
Think before your play and straighten your curls,
Well everybodys talking like i'm crazy
Dangerous and lazy girl with no soul
But i've seen it all from where i'm hiding
Baby cause i'm sliding, out of control
[Bridge:]
Here I go, off the road crank the stereo
I flick my finger to the world below
Here I am, dirty hands, i don't give a damn
Shut your mouth because it might show
[Chorus:]
I don't need no good advice
I'm already wasted
I don't need some other life
Cold and complicated
I don't need no Sunday trips
Tea and sympathising
I don't need no special fix
To anaesthetise me
Daddy always told me to remember,
Leave the boys, till later, don't you drop down
Mama said I'd never get to heaven
Hanging till eleven, with the wrong crowd
Everybody's talking like I'm only
Just another phony girl who got played
But i dig the music that i'm making
Baby, and i'll break it into your brain
Here I go, off the road crank the stereo
I flick my finger to the world below
Here I am, dirty hands, i don't give a damn
Shut your mouth because it might show
I don't need no good advice
I'm already wasted
I don't need some other life
Cold and complicated
I don't need no Sunday trips
Tea and sympathising
I don't need no special fix
To anaesthetise me
Here I go, off the road crank the stereo
I flick my finger to the world below
Here I am, dirty hands, i don't give a damn
Shut your mouth because it might show
[Spoken]
I don't need no good advice
No well intentioned sacrifice
I don't need no Sunday trips
No chocolate box or speed for kicks
Hell I don't need no beauty sleep
No need to count those dirty sheep
And I don't need no bedtime prayer
Cos frankly I don't even care
Sit at your computer, be a good girl
And Mama said remember your a lady,
Think before your play and straighten your curls,
Dangerous and lazy girl with no soul
But i've seen it all from where i'm hiding
Baby cause i'm sliding, out of control
Here I go, off the road crank the stereo
I flick my finger to the world below
Here I am, dirty hands, i don't give a damn
Shut your mouth because it might show
I don't need no good advice
I'm already wasted
I don't need some other life
Cold and complicated
I don't need no Sunday trips
Tea and sympathising
I don't need no special fix
To anaesthetise me
Leave the boys, till later, don't you drop down
Mama said I'd never get to heaven
Hanging till eleven, with the wrong crowd
Just another phony girl who got played
But i dig the music that i'm making
Baby, and i'll break it into your brain
I flick my finger to the world below
Here I am, dirty hands, i don't give a damn
Shut your mouth because it might show
I'm already wasted
I don't need some other life
Cold and complicated
I don't need no Sunday trips
Tea and sympathising
I don't need no special fix
To anaesthetise me
I flick my finger to the world below
Here I am, dirty hands, i don't give a damn
Shut your mouth because it might show
I don't need no good advice
No well intentioned sacrifice
I don't need no Sunday trips
No chocolate box or speed for kicks
Hell I don't need no beauty sleep
No need to count those dirty sheep
And I don't need no bedtime prayer
Cos frankly I don't even care

Here's some good advice they should take: Quit.
You should quit. Yes...
Its about rebelling against your parents advice.
The line "Shut your mouth because it might show" was originally "Shut your mouth because your shit might show" It was changed to keep parents happy. The original version of this song can be found on the 2 disc UK special edition of their Greatest Hits CD.
From the singles boxset: 'No Good Advice was written by Brian Higgins and Miranda Cooper when they were known as Moonbaby and were signed to London Records in the late 1990s. The band didn't take off and No Good Advice was one of the tunes that summed up the relationship with London Records turning sour- it also took on a special significance years later with Girls Aloud thrown into the mix. The song's chorus began rather differently- with the phrase 'I don't like fried rice'. No Good Advice was sung over a rave backing track and it was only when different Xenomania musicians were asked to contribute new backing tracks to the song that the familiar No Good Advice sound took shape'.
