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
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
Said I would leave them wanting more
That could be crazy wishing
We could ever have it all
Have it all, have it all
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
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
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
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

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. :)
RóisÃn 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.
