Impressed Lyrics
Sweet confetti out looking for a savour, Finding it hard to break the chain,
Nothing ventured nothing gained,
Ice cream beauty acting on her best behaviour,
Finding it hard to bite her tong,
Feeling so old as the night is young,
Six foot leaning on a lizard chest,
Two red dragons ironed on my vest,
All that money you deserve the best,
I'm impressed, I'm impressed, I'm impressed,
What you've got isn't all you've been given,
Changing your body like you change your jeans,
Nothing is ever as it seems,
Something tells me it's marriage made in heaven,
Stealing your look from a magazine,
Playinng the part from a movie scene,
Six foot leaning on a lizard chest,
Two red dragons ironed on my vest,
All that money you deserve the best,
I'm impressed, I'm impressed, I'm impressed,
Everyday is like your birthday, But the candles burning,
Don't you see, Don't you see,
( Chorus )

This is my favorite Natalie Imbruglia song, well maybe after "Left of the Middle" but I've never waken up at the middle of the night craving "Left of the Middle". The lyrics of this song is very graphic, and together it paints a really pretty picture of a gold digger who sold herself to the material goods of the world by marrying for money, and that Imbruglia herself is "impressed" by her.
I love the way the singer comments/describes the girl "Ice cream beauty acting on her best behaviour" "Feeling so old as the night is young" "Changing your body like you change your jeans" And the best part is when Imbruglia comments that "it's marriage made in heaven[...] (you)stealing your look from a magazine, playinng the part from a movie scene."
Instead of takign the perspective of judging condescentdingly the gold-digger the song was written with a certain tone of admiration and understanding. And at the end she (Imbruglia( reminds her (golddigger) that rich as she may be her time is running out and sooner or later true love/happiness will slip away from her forever. "Everyday is like your birthday, But the candles burning, Don't you see, Don't you see, "
This music is a combination of techno/pop with IDM(intelligence dance music) elements to it, it's a bit hard(and alotta fun) if u dance with this song unremixed
there are always those people that are so 'special', that we're just so 'impressed' with. these lyrics are awesomely vivid.
I'm surprised you say it's about a girl. I guess it's obvious, but I've always thought this song was about a guy. Some tall rich frat guy with a trophy wife who thinks he's all that, but she can see how superficial he really is. Hmmm, even though it's probably about a girl, I'm going to have a hard time picturing that.
id greatly liek to thank you chris3h... i always loved that song but was always trying to understand it well... guess uve helped me, thx!
could some1 explain some phrases for me??? -Finding it hard to bite her tong, -Six foot leaning on a lizard chest, -Two red dragons ironed on my vest,
I agree with kimberlyd86. I thought the song was about a rich guy.
"lizard chest": is it possible she's talking about Lacoste?
