Soft Rock Star Lyrics

Cover art for Soft Rock Star lyrics by Metric

Sorry Pirate, but I think "Depanneur" is correct. "Depanneur" is a french word for a convenience store or corner store and is a common term in Quebec... remember Emily is from Canada.

I think she's comparing a fancy martini to a cheap bottle of wine bought at a corner store (Bubble ball martini glasses are popular among the Nouveau riche. I thought the lyric was "bubble gumball martini" just a playful way of saying bubble ball martini by inserting the "bubble gum" phrase. Or, there is also a bubblegum martini... just s froofy twist on a regular martini).

She's just trying to set up a contrast between what the sell-out artist is going to be able to afford to drink (the martini) vs. what the artist who doesn't sell out is going to be drinking (cheap wine).
