Comin' Up From Behind Lyrics
Ah, She's an eight ball,
She's a'rollin faster than a white wall,
She's got an avalanche packed into a snowball,
She's a losin all the links,
She's like a stonewall,
She's loaded up,
She's the underdog,
Gonna take a mighty swipe
At the high horse,
While'a sippin on her tricks
In a pitfall,
Makin eyes at the girls like bullfrogs,
I'm telling you, sir,
(Chorus)
She's comin up from,
comin up from, comin up,
comin up from behind,
Yeah,
She's comin up from,
comin up from, comin up,
comin up from behind,
You'd like her hanging
Like a sneaker on a live wire, dangling,
While your Wall Street pockets are jangling
With the hollow jackpot of your rich kid games,
It's a longshot,
She's got a troop and a tongue for a slingshot,
But she's takin' steady aim
At the bigshots,
It's hard to miss the rolling-polies
On the blacktop,
You better watch your turf,
(Chorus)
She's comin up from,
comin up from, comin up,
comin up from behind,
Yeah,
She's comin up from,
comin up from, comin up,
comin up from behind,
You had her hanging
Like a sneaker on a live wire, dangling,
While your golden-lined pockets were jangling
With the hollow jackpot of your wretched games,
She caught your sick lie,
It's creepin in the shadow of your white smile,
Lurking underneath the cover of your bedroom eyes,
Well, you're greasin' up the lance for your small-fry,
You wanna talk it up, do you?
Well you're floatin like a royal balloon - oh,
Your ego's swollen to the size of the moon, well,
I think you found somebody to cut you down to size.
Well well,
Yeah,
She's comin up from behind,
She's comin up from behind,
Yeah,
She's comin up from behind,
She's comin up from behind....
She's a'rollin faster than a white wall,
She's got an avalanche packed into a snowball,
She's a losin all the links,
She's like a stonewall,
She's loaded up,
Gonna take a mighty swipe
At the high horse,
While'a sippin on her tricks
In a pitfall,
Makin eyes at the girls like bullfrogs,
I'm telling you, sir,
She's comin up from,
comin up from, comin up,
comin up from behind,
She's comin up from,
comin up from, comin up,
comin up from behind,
Like a sneaker on a live wire, dangling,
While your Wall Street pockets are jangling
With the hollow jackpot of your rich kid games,
She's got a troop and a tongue for a slingshot,
But she's takin' steady aim
At the bigshots,
It's hard to miss the rolling-polies
On the blacktop,
You better watch your turf,
She's comin up from,
comin up from, comin up,
comin up from behind,
She's comin up from,
comin up from, comin up,
comin up from behind,
Like a sneaker on a live wire, dangling,
While your golden-lined pockets were jangling
With the hollow jackpot of your wretched games,
It's creepin in the shadow of your white smile,
Lurking underneath the cover of your bedroom eyes,
Well, you're greasin' up the lance for your small-fry,
Well you're floatin like a royal balloon - oh,
Your ego's swollen to the size of the moon, well,
I think you found somebody to cut you down to size.
Well well,
She's comin up from behind,
She's comin up from behind,
She's comin up from behind,
She's comin up from behind....

Songs about Kathryn from cruel intentions (well that's why they sung it anyhow) Technically your all correct. 8Ball , Snow ball , white wall - cocaine (Kathryn's a coke head) "Making eyes at the girls like bullfrogs" referring to how evil she is and the dirty looks she gives "Part of your rich kid games" referencing to the bet they made and the fact they're rich kids of-course "She caught your sick lie" - she found out he loved Annette and lied about it! "Your ego's swollen to the size of the moon" - at the end of the film she's in the bathroom with Annette after snorting looking all chuffed at the fact she ruined Sebastian's relationship , he's dead she'll inherit all the money & the fact she thinks nobody knows about it all. "I think you found somebody to cut you down to size" - About Cecilia and Annette publishing Sebastian's diary and revealing how evil Kathryn is!
sorry if theres any spelling mistakes its like 3am D:
this song is brilliant. the only choon by Marcy Playground i like.
i really like the lyric "You had her hanging Like a sneaker on a live wire, dangling..."
it's seems to be about a vindictive, but seemingly non-threatening girl who was cast to the wayside, but has revenge on the brain. and she plans to strike when you least expect her.
While this is a great song, it's not actually by Marcy Playground. I read it's a song by Sherry Frasier's band Two Ton Boa and was remade by Marcy Playground for the Cruel Intention Soundtrack.
It definantly seems to be about a vindictive girl Roger_wilco, that would make it's inclusion on the Cruel Intentions soundtrack make sense, since the character of Kathryn is the definintion of vindictive.
aww i love it! it reminds me of those people who dance with sticks all provocatively! nice song!! sexy.
"Success is the best revenge" That's what I think the song is about. She is being underestimated. Very catchy tune.
First verse: Ah, She's an eight ball, She's a'rollin faster than a white wall, She's got an avalanche packed into a snowball, She's a losin all the links, She's like a stonewall, She's loaded up.
Its clearly a reference to cocaine, and cocaine usage. Eight Ball: common cocaine purchase ammount, 3.5grams. Known on the streets as an eightball.
White Wall: white can be seen as a reference to coke.
Snow ball: Snow, a common nickname for coke.
"She's loaded up" .. dont need to explain that.
I have a feeling this song is about coke as well as a vindictive woman. Cocaine is commonly referred to as 8 Ball. But I happen to think this song has a double meaning.
