In their eyes is the place that you finally discovered
That you love it here, you've got to stay
On the bottom of the rock, an island
On which you find you love it when you twitch
You feel that itch in you pettycoat
Your pretty pretty pettycoat
Then you smiled, he got wild
You didn't understand that there's money to be made
Beauty is a card that must get played
By organisation
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
The world can be a very big place
So be yourself don't get out of place
Love your man and love him twice
Go to Hollywood and pay the price
Oh go to Hollywood
And don't be a star, it's such a drag
Take care of yourself, don't begin to lag
It's a hard life to live, so live it well
I'll be your friend and not in pretend
I know you girl
In all situations
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pettycoat
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pettycoat
In all situations
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
That you love it here, you've got to stay

Probably I;m wrong but...
About a girl who wanted fame and didn't get it? Think the American Dream... going to Hollywood to become an actress, failing?
Just an idea...
yeeeeeeah man
yeeeeeeah man
I don't know what the significance of this is, or if the Joyce reference is referring to an old song of Irish background, but in Ulysses I regarded the following passage as being referenced in this song:
THE MOTH:
(HE RUSHES AGAINST THE MAUVE SHADE, FLAPPING NOISILY) Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty petticoats.
Interesting? Eh?
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pettycoat Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty prettypettycoat You do know kooks means cocks in Dutch, i bet you think thats really cool aswell........
ive known these guys for a little while and i was like wow they're awesome and then i was watching the OC this week and they played this song at the end. if these guys get overplayed like youth group did i'll get majorly cut.
i think its about a girl hes in love with and shes in love with him but she wants to be famous and he doesnt want to be a part of it and so she makes it famous and people take advantage of her and its not as amazing as she thought it would be.
awwwwwwwwwwwsome!
Full Stop.
This song is so good! The beginning is just wow...and his voice and how it just runs so smoothy across the sentences..I love it. So catchy
this is definatly (one of) my favourite kooks song...
i agree that its avbout fame. its about someone he loved who was an amazing person seeking fame, and then getting it, but 'the world chewed her up and spat her out'as the press do to many of the famous people.
