Movie Star Lyrics

I'm a trusting soul, I’m ashamed of living dangerously
I'm a headstrong girl, I’m afraid I won't be told
I feel my destiny is only 'round the corner
Sugar daddy promised me I’ll be sitting on top of the world

He saw my naked ambitions
Said I would leave them wanting more
That could be crazy wishing
We could ever have it all
Have it all, have it all

We'll make a movie, we'll break into cinema
You'll be director, and I’ll be your movie star
We'll make a movie, the darlings of cinema
You'll be director, and I’ll be your movie star

So he's a headstrong guy and perhaps I shouldn't listen
There's a million girls wanna be in my position
If he tells me lies I’ll suspend my disbelieving
I leave it all behind, I ain't asking for permission

Feels like a new beginning
And there's so much to explore
It's not so crazy thinking
We could really have it all
Have it all, have it all

We'll make a movie, we'll break into cinema
You'll be director, and I’ll be your movie star
We'll make a movie, the darlings of cinema
You'll be director, and I’ll be your movie star

Movie star
Movie star

The naked ambitions line is a clever entendre. I believe that this song speaks to the naivete about what it takes to make it in the movie-making industry and the creeps who prey on young women by convincing them that shooting porn is necessary in order to have a silver-screen career.

They may be stupid songs really-but they sooo catchy. :)

Róisín said in an interview that the song is about someone who wants to be famous and he/her discovers that he/her may have to do anything to be famous. It's not about someone in particular, just about the world we living in.

"I don't even care. It's just a stupid song, anyway" She said.
