Karaoke Queen by Catatonia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
And when I'm down it brings me round so easily
At eight o'clock, I take my leave and when I'm done and dusted
Tonight I'm gonna be
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Hey you can dance
Oooh sha la la la la la la
[Verse 2]
Common sense has excuses recklessness, its uses
But don't go fusing silence with charisma
At nine o'clock you can count on me but when I'm up I'm ready
Tonight I'm gonna be
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus 2]
Where you can dance
Oooh sha la la la la la la
[Bridge]
I'm doomed to fail the stage gives way
It's an apostrophe to my legacy but though I'm bruised
I'll happily do it all again
[Pre-Chorus]
At 10 o'clock don't wait up for me
Coz when I'm up I'm ready
Tonight I'm gonna be
Matthew!
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus 3]
And you can dance if you want to show appreciation
But step up to the mic for the full sensation
[Outro]
And you can dance
And you can dance
And you can dance
And you can ooh la la la ooh sha la la la
Yeah you can ooh 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
And when I'm down it brings me round so easily
At eight o'clock, I take my leave and when I'm done and dusted
Tonight I'm gonna be
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Hey you can dance
Oooh sha la la la la la la
[Verse 2]
Common sense has excuses recklessness, its uses
But don't go fusing silence with charisma
At nine o'clock you can count on me but when I'm up I'm ready
Tonight I'm gonna be
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus 2]
Where you can dance
Oooh sha la la la la la la
