Metric - Soft Rock Star

Soft Rock Star
Artist: Metric
Album: Grow Up And Blow Away

Lyrics

Climb the wall to make the sun rise in time
But the night, it had already begun
Climb the wall to make the sun rise in time
But the night it, had already begun
Now here I am, I am the one
So hang high soft star
Don't shine for swine

Not a lot of room to move but where's my guy?
I tried looking up to you girls
Please correct me, but didn't you let the work slide?
Capitalize on a novelty, cheap pink spotlight
Is it all right?

Choose the highest bidder, was my answer
When they told me I was up for sale
Schoolyard, junior high-style
Bullies have always tried to buy the better girls
But failed now, the cheque is in the mail

Bubble gumbo Martini
Is nothing like dépanneur red wine
Travel through time
Who were you after you were mine?

Choose the highest bidder, was my answer
When they told me I was up for sale
Schoolyard, junior high-style
Bullies have always tried to buy the better girls
Havent they?

Choose the brightest future
Mind the death and
Try to buy the better girls
But failed, til now
Cheque is in the mail

So hang high, soft rock star
Hang high, soft rock star
Don't shine before swine

Choose the highest bidder, was my answer
When they told me I was up for sale
Schoolyard, junior high-style
Bullies have always tried to buy the better girls
Havent they?
Choose the highest bidder, was my answer
When they told me I was up for sale
Schoolyard, junior high-style
Bullies have always tried to buy the better girls
But failed now

The check is in the mail

Has the most amazing chorus of any song ever made, just like every other Metric song.

@nyxarama this is actually a pretty old song it was recorded in about 97 i think, but wasn't released till much later.

@iFamot222 I didn't know that! Cool. You know, I thought so, but I trusted wikipeida. That's what I get!

@TheDemeest Grow Up and Blow Away was recorded before both of those but wasn't released until much later.
