"Trophy girlfriend"

ça c'est plus très jeune, ça date de 1995/1996 je crois, mes années étudiantes où beaucoup de choses passaient dans mes oreilles. Heavenly était un groupe de filles qui faisaient dans la poprock sucrée, "twee pop" ou "C86" comme on avait coutume d'appeler le genre... mais pour ce titre elles avaient monté les potards des amplis, et ça envoyait gentiment de la bûchette... même si on sent vraiment la veine "popinou" derrière la saturation.

"Granny dress, bleached hair

Always nicks her underwear

She's kissing boys and girls

Can't decide which she prefers

She pouts a lot

Tries to seem

Pensive and pretty

Just looks mean

Trying too hard to be what she wanted

Trying to look like she's a loser

Trying to act like all her dumb heroes

Trying to be a trophy girlfriend who

Could just win you

Eats a lot, then starves

Broke her birthday crisp in half

She often faints and while

She is out, you see her smile

She's holding back

So so proud

Sure to be noticed

In a crowd

Trying so hard to be what she wanted

Trying to look like she's a loser

Trying to act like all her dumb heroes

Trying to be a trophy girlfriend who

Could just win you

Holding back

So so proud

Sure to be noticed

In a crowd

Trying so hard to be what she wanted

Trying to look like she's a loser

Trying to act like all her dumb heroes

Trying to be a trophy girlfriend,

Trying so hard to be what she wanted

Trying to look like she's a loser

Trying to act like all her dumb heroes

Trying to be a trophy girlfriend,

Trying so hard to be what she wanted

Trying to look like she's a loser

Trying to act like all her dumb heroes

Trying to be a trophy girlfriend, ooh"
