Catatonia - Karaoke Queen Lyrics

Ooh sha la la la
Ooh sha la la la

Tedium is overcome
From obscurity, through melody
And when I'm blind it helps me
See through your key
No one can touch, no need to rush
Presented by my alibi
When I'm down it brings me round
So easily

At eight o' clock I'll take my leave
And when I'm done and dusted
Tonight I'm gonna be

I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see
I'm gonna take you down to a place
I know you'd rather be
It's just a three minute song
It doesn't last very long
But it'll take you to a place
I know you'd rather be
Hey you can dance

Ooh sha la la la
Ooh sha la la la

Common sense has excuses
Recklessness, its uses
But don't go 'fusing silence with charisma

At nine o'clock you can count on me
And when I'm up I'm ready
Tonight I'm gonna be

I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see
I'm gonna take you down to a place
I know you'd rather be
It's just a three minute song
It doesn't last very long
But it'll take you to a place
I know you'd rather be
Where you can dance

Ooh sha la la la
Ooh sha la la la
Ooh sha la la la

I'm doomed to fail
The stage gives way
It's an apostrophe to my legacy
But thought I'm bruised
I'll happily do it all again

At ten o'clock don't wait up for me
'Cos when I'm up I'm ready
Tonight I'm gonna be Matthew

I'll be a karaoke queen, it's not me you see
I'm gonna take you down to a place
I know you'd rather be
It's just a three minute song
It doesn't last very long
But it'll take you to a place
I know you'd rather be

And you can dance if you want to
Show appreciation
But step up to the mic for the full sensation
And you can dance
And you can dance

And you can ooh la la la
Ooh sha la la la
Yea you can ooh la la la
Ooh sha la la la
Ooh sha la la la
Ooh sha la la la
