Shiny Magazine Lyrics
I saw your face
In a pretty magazine
You don't even know
What you are and what you've seen
Why do you lie?
Do you need to fill us fear?
What's it to you?
Oh we used to look up to you
Oh my god I know too well
Being sweet just doesn't sell
And I've got better things to do
I try to run but my legs ache
The photographs that I refuse to take
Oh will it never end
We are alone
From the city to our bones /departed from our bones/
What's that worth to you?
Oh we used to look up to you
Oh my god I know too well
Being sweet just doesn't sell
And I've got better things to do
Am I hiding again?
Am I hiding again?
Tell me how to live my life
Ooh ooh ooh
Well the sun is shining down
[Solo]
Oh my god I know too well
Being sweet just doesn't sell
And I've got better things to do
Am I hiding again?
Am I hiding again?
Tell me how to live my life
Ooh ooh ooh
Well the sun is shining down
The sun it's shining down
In a pretty magazine
You don't even know
What you are and what you've seen
Why do you lie?
Do you need to fill us fear?
What's it to you?
Oh we used to look up to you
Being sweet just doesn't sell
And I've got better things to do
I try to run but my legs ache
The photographs that I refuse to take
Oh will it never end
From the city to our bones /departed from our bones/
What's that worth to you?
Oh we used to look up to you
Being sweet just doesn't sell
And I've got better things to do
Am I hiding again?
Tell me how to live my life
Ooh ooh ooh
Well the sun is shining down
Being sweet just doesn't sell
And I've got better things to do
Am I hiding again?
Tell me how to live my life
Ooh ooh ooh
Well the sun is shining down
The sun it's shining down

the lyrics are wrong.
it is "if you've got better things to do"
Definitely one of my favorites on the new CD. This song is amazing.
I really have no clue what it is about. Maybe about just not being good enough?
A song that could easily fit on A Hard Days Night or Help! by The Beatles.
This song is amazing!
Ooh, Beatles-esque for sure. Um, this is a guess on my part, but could this song be about some girl whose life went down a destructive path? She's in a pretty magazine (shiny even) but she was so sweet that he can't stand it. Maybe?
I love this song. Jet's new CD is sooo good...I have no idea what this is about, though. LOL. Jet seems to try to make many songs about like society. I think this is about something similar to Skin and Bones...they don't like values these days.
definatly anout a girl who he obviously likes but she was maybe too good for him or something...overall a good song..very beatles-ish!
Well I think that it could be about a girl of celebrity status that people look up to, this person being in a magazine doesnt sell when you make stupid ideas. And "my legs ache", I think means that they don't like the press coverage and pictures being taken when it puts them under bad light, but they are always somewhere that they can capture an image of them.
Chris sings this song and i heard he wrote it about nic. is this true?
