(ooh, la la la la, ooh, la la la la)
Why don't I look like Emmanuelle Béart?
I've bought high heels and an uplift bra
But I just don't look like a French movie star
Why don't I look like Emmanuelle Béart?
Why don't I look like Emmanuelle Béart?

I practise her pout in the mirror at night
I try, try, try but I can't get it right
And it's really a ridiculous sight
Why don't I look like Emmanuelle Béart?
Why don't I look like Emmanuelle Béart?

The glossy magazine said I could look like her too
I read it myself so it must be true
£47.50 for a pot of pink cream
Well, I'm sorry baby, not in your wildest dreams

(ooh, la la la la, ooh, la la la la)
Why don't I look like Emmanuelle Béart,
Instead of fish and chips she lives on salade nicoise,
I expect she breakfasts on a pack of Gauloise,
Why don't I look like Emmanuelle Béart?
Why don't I look like Emmanuelle Béart?

Walk on the beach like Emmanuelle Béart,
Play the violin like Emmanuelle Béart,
Look after goats like Emmanuelle Béart,
Pose in the nude like Emmanuelle Béart,
Be a superstar like Emmanuelle Béart
(etc, to fade)

Everybody Wants My Baby

See him in the photograph
Looking out to sea
Only fifteen inches tall
But that's enough for me
He would never mess around
He'd never let me down
And he'll go wherever I go
You know that everybody wants my baby

He's a man of simple taste
Nothing but the best will do
Champagne and Charvet shirts
A Havana cigar or two
They call it love but it's only lust
There ain't nobody you can trust
And in the end it turns to dust
You know that everybody wants my baby

Here am I on a tropical isle
Queen of all that I survey
They can take my girls and pearls
But they can't take him away
Why can't they all leave us be
Cause I love him, and he loves me
And when I die we'll be buried at sea
You know that everybody wants my baby

Words

I can't say what I want to say
Reach for the words but they slip away
Into the deep where you can't go
I can't explain so you'll never know,
You'll never know
And nothing's going to change
Nothing's going to change

I can tame words so they dance in line
They do what I want most of the time
But after a while they lose their shine
Then when I need them most I find
They're no longer mine
And nothing's going to change
Nothing's going to change

And a world full of words is just not enough
I had too many words and I used them all up

I can't say what I want to say
Reach for the words but they slip away
Into the deep where you can't go
I can't explain so you'll never know
You'll never know
And nothing's going to change
Nothing's going to change

And a world full of words is just not enough
I had too many words and I used them all up
