Q&A
you're so vain Lyrics
You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
Clouds in my coffee, and
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Fucking amazing cover
Oh man I know right.
Oh man I know right.
Just a thought, but I think this cover is directed at Trent Reznor. Think of it, Manson kept the song about a man, instead of doing what some male artists that cover it do, changing it slightly. Instead, he sings about a man who knew him when he was naive, who he was extremely close to, and who tossed him to the side. Pretty much only one man fits the bill. Trent Reznor.
I agree with the song being about Reznor. It also adds to it when you remember that Trent Reznor referenced You're So Vain on his own song Starfuckers Inc. Perhaps an extra little jab at Trent on Marilyn's part?
