Lush - Ladykillers Lyrics
Here we go, I'm hanging out in Camden
Drinking with my girlfriends on a Saturday night
This guy says, "Come and meet my girlfriend"
She's sitting in the corner, looking rather uptight
But I see he's feeling itchy
Trying to play us off each other
"Girls, girls, please don't fight"
(You get the picture)
Hey you, the muscles and the long hair
Telling me that women are superior to men
Most guys just don't appreciate this
You just try convincing me you're better than them
And his favourite subject is sex
I don't even think he really wanted it
But, Christ, this guy's too much
(I wanna tell him)
I'm as human as the next girl
I like a bit of flattery
But I don't need your practised lines
Your school of charm mentality
So save your breath for someone else
And credit me with something more
When it comes to men like you
I know the score, I've heard it all before
(Here comes the next one)
Blondie was with me for a summer
He flirted like a maniac but I wouldn't bite
I'm weak and he was so persistent
He only had to have me 'cause I put up a fight
Oh God, the boy had such an ego
He liked to talk about himself all day and all night
You think you're such a ladykiller
But you were nothing special 'til you turned out the light
When he's nice to me, he's just nice to himself
And he's watching his reflection
I'm a five foot mirror for adoring himself
Here's seven years' bad luck
(I wanna tell him)
When you say you love me
You're just flattering your vanity
But I don't need your practised lines
Your school of charm mentality
So save your breath for someone else
And credit me with something more
When it comes to men like you
I know the score, I've heard it all before
Ooh, you're such a ladykiller
Always on a winner, thinking that you're in there
Oh boy, you're such a ladykiller
Super sexy mister, call it what you will, oh
You think you're such a ladykiller
I just bet you're still there, posing in the mirror
Hey girls, he's such a ladykiller
But we know where he's coming from and we know the score

Emma... Yeah.. You get the picture.. Love them.. Hear comes the next one.. As an older man myself.. I get the dirft of the message there saying..
🇧🇷🇧🇷😎🎸2020
Oh my Lord! I have been trying to remember who sang this song for years! Thrilled I finally figured out!
Great, great song!
Suena muy bien recién la escucho primera vez
God, I love this song!!!!
Can I get @ 1:28 looped in an animated gif for a rolleye emiticon replacement please?
Ayer la vi en el bazar de la esquina del centro , jajajaj

They jacked the riff from u-men song “gila” right??
I remember this being a lot faster with a different vocal take
This video reminds me of the Pat Benatar music video for "Love Is A Battlefield". This is truly a great video. Awesome!!
What is this? A bunch of disgruntled girls moaning about their inability to find decent blokes?
THat lyric line though, "Telling women are superior to men." Sounds like feminism 90s band!
Red handed
I completely understand differing opinions about ANY band/artist/song, etc., but in my opinion-and since everyone’s sharing... Lush was SO far ahead of their time; especially with this song. Whether it’s a revenge song aimed at someone/multiple people in particular or not.
So much of their music was & still is just fun & beautiful to listen to. Love songs about cars?! Lighthearted, & adorable. At least they were (& still are) authentic with their own style!
I know a lot of misogynistic men that feel threatened, haters or people who just don’t care for them won’t agree. That’s fine. Like Emma said, that’s music! We all have different tastes. And that’s okay!! Diversity is a GOOD thing.
For me, seeing this video again brought back so many great memories! Thank you! ❤️
Love the venom at 3:00. You tell em girls.
KADIKÖY TAYFASI BURDA MI
And all my love for Lush started surfing around youtube. <3
Great track. So tricky and true. A bit brilliant.
Emma is a goddess.
I miss her. I'd like so much of her to form a new band, why not with Bilinda from the Valentines ? (both live in London after all)
The long haired guy is a dig at Anthony Kiedis whom Miki had met.
The way Miki licks her lips is so sexy.
It's a bit sad that crappy English band with a slightly ugly singer had to stop this low and write a childish song about a much more famous artist. What's she trying to do because you aren't the Red Hot Chili peppers.
Wrong on all counts.
We cast this video! I remember bringing over lots of wardrobe to the set at The American Legion Hall. Such a great song, such a great era.
Bless you Director Marc Pellington!
All those 71 dislikes were from Anthony Kiedis
Was that really him?
Nope the song was written about him
J C can’t really tell from the video. 😕
And who's the blonde guy? Michael Bolton? 😆
@Room 101 matt sharp from weezer
Omg, I forgot about how much I loved this band! She's the reason I ever wanted cherry red hair!
This song's about Anthony Keidis.
And Matt Sharp from Weezer.
Since then music has pretty much died. Name me 30 good bands now. This country has had it.

How's that?
still here 2019.
Lush, Sleeper, Echobelly etc were the perfect antidote for a society obsessed with the likes of Blur, Oasis and Supertramp
Supertramp, really ? Who ever remembered them at the time ?
How have I missed this...
Still a banger in 2019.
これ見たかったの!うれしー( *´︶`*)
I just remember this being the song on after 'Tequila' on an old compilation cassette when I was a youth. Only just remembered it and remembered now why i loved it.
a wonderful band, hope more ppl can listen to them
NCAA 2006 brought me here, I looked for this song for years😂😂🤦🏽♂️
Forget Tony Hawk, best sports game soundtrack by a MILE.
Jimmy Saville getting a drink tipped over his mullet .. really though, she should have just glassed his face for a more dramatic effect !!
I feel so called out by this song lol.
I once heard this song was about Alex James of Blur. Don't know if that's true?
Yes, partly
RHCP were playing across town the night I saw Lush in 1996, so Miki dedicated the song to them
Great memories seeing Lush in mid 90s
whatever we do, we cant win :)
saw em play in plymouth..they were pissed..and shit..shame
meu deus q perfeição!!!!!
genius songwriting xxx
Had the pleasure of working electric & lighting on this all night, inside the Hollywood American Legion back in 1996. Love to work with these ladykillers again.
Enco we did the casting! That was such a cool shoot. Great work Enco!
Is there a way back to the 1990´s, please
Oh and now I believe the term is fuck boy
I always laugh w this one.
❤️ Lush Elastica Sleeper ❤️
elmarbeau yes yes nooooo
Lush + Elastica : it was 2016 Lush's reunion tour with Justin Welsh from Elastica, now he and Miki from Lush are into Piroshka. I saw them live in April, some of the songs they played weren't on the album (they'll be in a forthcoming one I guess) of which I have a copy and a postcard signed by the band members.
I was like 9 or 10 when this song was sang
This sounds like The Buzzcocks song "Sixteen Again".
This was my jam back in the day. I used to blast it on my cassette player and dance around the bathroom singing into my hairbrush.
This was my anthem in 1996
I was so lucky to be in my 20's during the 1990's.
fodsaks , me too. Kids don't know. I know and you know and you know what? That's okay.
it's always good to be in your 20's, no matter what era.
Story of my life
Muitas saudades de um época em que eu era um jovem cabeludo que ficava em frente a MTV o dia inteiro vendo essas obras primas!
This video kicks ass. 😊
"When he's nice to me, he's just nice to himself
And he's watching his reflection
I'm a five foot mirror for adoring himself
Here's seven years' bad luck"
Truer words never sung.
this is like finding gold
Lush > Elastica
Pearl Jasmine both great bands love them.
Ikr both are great :) I love how they are female fronted alt rock bands(going kinda vague on the genre there)
Now Piroshka features Miki, Justin from Elastica, Kevin from Moose and Michael Conroy from Modern English.
It seems she's always getting sucked in by these guys and doesn't realize it until too late...not too smart.
There are girl bands, and there are GIRL Bands...would love to see more bands like this in the current charts..rather than manufactured crap and auto tunes...bring it on
I remember this song from NCAA 06 and it always confused the hell out of me. I didn't realize that was a girl singing
Such a good good song, too bad the mv director shoots trash videos
What I find odd is that if one of the verses is based on Matt Sharp, then why did she do guest vocals on his album after this? Perhaps there were no hard feelings...?
take me back to the 90s
The best of alternative girl bands. These chics really rocked man, they are a lot better than some of the girl singers out there today. The 90's were my decade.
Cecilia Lozano what about the donnas
restless_dreams_horrifying_nights They try too hard to be alternative.
Cool chick rock....underrated.
You get the pictah
love this
sounds like Waking Up by Elastica
I love this song.
Miss u Chelsea, Prentice left an hour ago, and I'm thinking of u!/-Theo-
0:06 you're welcome
This song is too many levels of amazing, never mind being still 100% relevant now.
These lyrics...like wow! <3
NCAA Football 06
@Metrosexual Fruitcake Kylie Minogue 2077 Yeah, it pretty much shows how much I miss the PS2 days tbh
The Charismatic KiD NCAA football 2006 had to be the best video game soundtrack of all times
@M Dee Definitely, they had alot of classic songs on there.
Madden 06 had a damn good soundtrack as well....2006 was just a great year for soundtracks for ea games
ps2 bro i played it when i was like 6
Great track that takes me back to the Student Union Disco . . . M
Here we go, I'm hanging out in Camden
Drinking with my girlfriends on a Saturday night

She's sitting in the corner, looking rather uptight
So I say, "Hello," and I try to be nice

(You get the picture)
Hey you, the muscles and the long hair
Telling me that women are superior to men
Most guys just don't appreciate this
You just try convincing me you're better than them
So he talks for hours 'bout his sensitive soul
And his favourite subject is sex
I don't even think he really wanted it
But, Christ, this guy's too much
(I wanna tell him)
I'm as human as the next girl
I like a bit of flattery
But I don't need your practised lines
Your school of charm mentality
So save your breath for someone else
And credit me with something more
When it comes to men like you
I know the score, I've heard it all before
(Here comes the next one)

Ooh, you're such a ladykiller
Always on a winner, thinking that you're in there
Oh boy, you're such a ladykiller
Super sexy mister, call it what you will, oh
You think you're such a ladykiller
I just bet you're still there, posing in the mirror
Hey girls, he's such a ladykiller
But we know where he's coming from and we know the score
THANK YOU!!!! 😍😇😉🤗
I Wish I could teleport this version of myself back to the 90's. Only if. Just me saying.
yes memories ♡♡
Met them once after a show at a pissant amusement park in Rhode Island back in '94, stoned outta my mind. Couldn't believe they were having to play pissant Rhode Island amusement parks.
hey at least u saw them if u remember
One of my friends just showed me this band last week. I was like where the hell have I been. She's fine AF and talented AF
I love this song. I heard it on a New Orleans local alter-rock radio station...soon after got the cd for this song! Me and my friends would chill in the park in the summer time smoking and jamming to this song. Great memories!
Love the moment at 2:00 when Emma cracks up - she realizes she's not supposed to be singing.
it took me apparently 22 years to figure it out
I watch that part over and over.
Adorable
hahahah yess, its adorable ♡
Haha brilliant
Is there any way I can go back to 1996 and make out with Emma Anderson?
This song's about PUAs
Pick Up Artists
met my wife 20+ years ago at a Lush concert at First ave in Minneapolis.......THANKS LUSH
+Kurt Anderson Did you bang her that night?
Which approach did you use?
You're nothing special until you turn off the lights!! That's cold blooded right there
His penis glowed in the dark tho
@KEEP CALM and PLAY SOCCER IN YOUR PAJAMAS That's pretty impressive
ncaa 06 we here
Yes!! My fave video game lol
I SWEAR WE IN HERE CLASSIC SOUNDTRACK MADE ME A FAN OF ROCK MUSIC AND IM A BLACK KID FROM THE HOOD..
They had some awesome music on those older football games.
MrGosportsteam yeah all bangers through and through
Ma band
I know it is. :-) Still playing?
YESS THEYRE BACK ON TOUR !!!
Haha they even got a dude who looks like Anthony Kiedis.
it's not Anthony lol, that part of the song is about one time when Anthony trying to hit on her in a bar. That guy's too hairy to actually be Anthony.
I feel like it looks more like Shawn Michaels but they got the point across lol
Ha! That was fun casting that role!!!!
@Amy Sobo / Sobo Casting did you???
Bill Greene we sure did!
Poor Rivers Cuomo, this was Miki's rebuttal
Matt Sharp not Rivers and Pinkerton/El Scorcho came out after this
It was about Anthony from RHCP
Man, this song kicks bloody arse!!!
Love this rather feminist tune! Yay! I remember it well!
Nineties were great for women, now we have porn stars on stage.
Harry Manback @ 0:42 :D
