Better Dead Than Simple

Lipstick
A touch of mascara
Hair gel
Like a Hollywood actress
Go to the stylist
A bit of moisturising cream
And some instant beauty make-up
Open the door, we’re gonna hit the street
And who cares what they say about us out there

I’d rather be dead than plain, than plain, oh so plain
I’d rather be dead than plain, than plain, oh so plain

And it’s true, that’s what we’re like
We love dressing up, we’re into showing out
We don’t care what they say about us
In London, Milan, San Francisco or Paris

And we’ve come to dance
To laugh and have some fun
After so, so much hard work
You know sometimes women need
A little, just a little, just a little bit of freedom

Plaster on the make-up, like we always used to
It helps to give me rhythm, I’m a real little mover
And if one of my boyfriends tries to stand in my way
I dance with him a while
With some drops of Chanel nº 4
Which always works out cheaper
Who cares what they say about us out there

I’d rather be dead than plain, than plain, oh so plain
I’d rather be dead than plain, than plain, oh so plain

And it’s true, that's what we’re like
We like dressing up, like showing out
We don’t care what they say about us
In London, Milan, San Francisco or Paris

And we’ve come to dance
To laugh and have fun
After so, so much hard work
You know sometimes women need
A little, just a little, just a little bit of freedom

And we’ve come to dance
To laugh and have fun
After so, so much hard work
You know sometimes women need
A little, just a little, just a little bit of freedom

I’d rather be dead than plain, than plain, oh so plain
I’d rather be dead than plain, than plain, oh so plain
