I'm the singer, I'm the singer in the band
You're the loser, I won't dismiss you out of hand
Cos you've got a beautiful face
It will take you places

You kept running
You've got money, you've got fame
Every morning I see your picture from the train
Now you're an actress!
So says your resume
You're made of card
You couldn't act your way out of a paper bag

You got lucky, you ain't talking to me now
Little Miss Plucky
Pluck your eyebrows for the crowd
Get on the airplane
You give me stomach pain
I wish that you were here
We would have had a lot to talk about

We had a deal there
We nearly signed it with our blood?
An understanding
I thought that you would keep your word
I'm disappointed
I'm aggravated
It's a fault I have, I know
When things don't go my way I have to

Blow up in the face of my rivals
I swear and I rant, I make quite an arrival
The men are surprised by the language
They act so discreet, they are hypocrites so fuck them too!

I always loved you
You always had a lot of style
I'd hate to see you on the pile
Of ?nearly-made-it' s
You've got the essence, dear
If I could have a second skin
I'd probably dress up in you

You're a star now, I am fixing people's nails
I'm knitting jumpers, I'm working after hours
I've got a boyfriend, I've got a feeling that he's seeing someone else
He always had thing for you as well

Blow in the face of my rivals
I swear and I rant, I make quite an arrival
The men are surprised by the language
They act so discreet, they are hypocrites forget them
So fuck them too!

    this song is sung from the perspective of a girl to another girl, an old friend.

    the old friend "hit it big" (you're a star now) (you've got money, you've got fame)

    as a model (i see your picture from the train)

    like all celebrities, she's trying to translate that sucess into something else. (now you're an actress... you couldn't act your way out of a paper bag)

    the singer wasn't as sucessful, seems to be crashing personally (you give me stomach pains) (blow up in the face of my rivals i swear and i rant, i mkae quite an arrival.)

    her boyfriends probably cheating on her (I’ve got a boyfriend, I’ve got a feeling that he’s seeing someone else He always had thing for you as well)
