Hard To Beat Lyrics

This song is great! There's a summer-type feel to the song which makes it great for those long summer parties!

As for the "Read all about it verse.....", upon first reading the lyrics, I took this part of the song to be a dig at Chris Martin from Coldplay dating and marrying Gwyneth Paltrow. I hear the words as thus:

"Read all about it Have you heard the latest Boy in a band Dates Hollywood actress....."

What I think is being said in this part of the song is a drawing of comparisons between Chris and Gwyneth and the guy and the girl in the song. Chris and Gwyneth have been elevated to an almost royalty-like couple and their relationship is almost fairy-tale like when you read the tabloids, hence "Read all about it.....". The budding relationship in the song is more down-to-earth and based in reality and therefore more beautiful because it's the basic 'boy-meets-girl' story, and is not some full-blown fairy-tale.
