Still Take You Home Lyrics
Oh, well it's ever so funny
Cos I don't think you're special, I don't think you're cool
You're just probably alright
But under these lights you look beautiful
And I'm struggling
I can't see through your fake tan
Oh ya know it for a fact
That everybody's eating out of your hand
But what do you know?
Oh, you know nothing!
But I'll still take you home
Yeah, I'll still take you home
So what do you know?
Said you don't know nothing!
Fancy seeing you in here
You're all tarted up, and you don't look the same
Well I ain't seen you since last year
And surprisingly you hadn't forgotten my name
But you know it
Yeah you knew it all along
Oh you say you have forgotten
But you're fibbing, go on tell me I'm wrong
So what do you know?
Oh you know nothing!
But I'll still take you home
Yeah, I'll still take you home
What do you know?
Oh you don't know nothing, no!
Whoa
Yeah, so what do you know?
Oh you know nothing, no!
But I'll still take you home
Yeah, I'll still take you home
Yes, so what do you know?
Oh you know nothing, no!
You sold your soul to the fashion
You're a Topshop princess, a rockstar too
Where's the love and the passion?
Oh I suppose that's nothing to do with you
But it's alright, put it all on one-side
And everybody's looking
You got control of everyone's eyes
Including mine
Cos I don't think you're special, I don't think you're cool
You're just probably alright
But under these lights you look beautiful
And I'm struggling
I can't see through your fake tan
Oh ya know it for a fact
That everybody's eating out of your hand
But what do you know?
Oh, you know nothing!
But I'll still take you home
Yeah, I'll still take you home
So what do you know?
Said you don't know nothing!
You're all tarted up, and you don't look the same
Well I ain't seen you since last year
And surprisingly you hadn't forgotten my name
But you know it
Yeah you knew it all along
Oh you say you have forgotten
But you're fibbing, go on tell me I'm wrong
Oh you know nothing!
But I'll still take you home
Yeah, I'll still take you home
What do you know?
Oh you don't know nothing, no!
Oh you know nothing, no!
But I'll still take you home
Yeah, I'll still take you home
Yes, so what do you know?
Oh you know nothing, no!
You're a Topshop princess, a rockstar too
Where's the love and the passion?
Oh I suppose that's nothing to do with you
But it's alright, put it all on one-side
And everybody's looking
You got control of everyone's eyes

These are the right lyrics for the demo, but the album version changed them.
The first bit is: 'Oh it's ever so funny, cos I don't think you're special I don't think you're cool'
and
'I'm fancying you with a passion You're a Topshop princess, a rockstar too 'You're a fad, you're a fashion And I'm having a job trying to talk to you'
...for the last verse.
haha i thought it was "Tuckshop princess" lol

I'm pretty sure it's not "You're a fad" but "You're a fag" as in the English fag meaning cigarette.

By this I get the impression he means that she's enticing but easily forgettable. Just something that you consume (have sex/make eyes with) and then throw away.

I think this song is mocking the hell out of a girl, who is fake, she 'tarts' herself up for obvious reasons, this guy is mocking her "you think its cool" basically saying she is a product..slave to fashion.
He says you;re probably "alright" but under these lights (shes so dolled up) "you look beautiful."
Hes saying how clueless and stupid the girl "what do you know? you know nothing!"
But he'll take her home because he wants sex. Hes a boy, he thinks shes ridiculous, but he knows hell get what he wants.
This song couldn't be anymore Saturday night on the town. Fucking quality man.
The first verse demo and album is fantastic and the "I fancy you with a passion!!" is a killer line.
Fan-bloody-tastic.
Ace song, love the solo in the middle followed by the "da da da da"-part and the last chorus-verse, just all quality.
One of the better songs
More of a friday night song though. That's when us youngster's go out :P
i like this one.
the songs about a guy that meets up with a girl thats changed so much since last year she's "all tarted up" which means shes pretty much a hoe but hew still wants to take her home.
thanks undeneeth. thats supposed to be sarcastic but theres no way. I dont like the begining of this song but I really like it after about the first 25 seconds.
SO! either this is about an ex, or it's about someone he USED to like, but now she's all gone slut, OOOOR it's about the quiet girl in the back that's finally got fed up with it and gone all gorgeous and air-head, and he's saying that boys will be boys.. "And everybody's looking You got control of everyone's eyes Including mine "
i just love this song from the first time i heard it not even knowing the monkeys!!! the vere where they sing about someone who knows your name but lies about knowing it is really a reflection of real life.
