Stella Donnelly - Tricks Lyrics






You had dinner at Jude's and you broke all the plates
Telling your favourite joke where you break all the plates
You threw all of your clothes off the back of the boat
You said that you're gonna quit but we know that you won't
You won't you won't

You only like me when I do my tricks for you
And you wear me out like you wear that southern cross tattoo
You said I'd look much better if I dropped the attitude
Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone

You've got all of your ducks lined up in a row
Driving back from the job with Kyle and Jackie-O
You want all of us to pull you out of the muck
You're always wanting a kiss but then you want to get laid
Get laid, get laid

You only like me when I do my tricks for you
And you wear me out like you wear that southern cross tattoo
You said I'd look much better if I dropped the attitude
Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone

You only like me when I do my tricks for you
And you wear me out like you wear that southern cross tattoo
You said I'd look much better if I dropped the attitude
Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone

    LYRICS

    [Verse 1]
    You had dinner at Jude's and you broke all the plates
    Telling your favourite joke where you break all the plates
    You threw all of your clothes off the back of the boat
    You said that you’re gonna quit but we know that you won't
    You won't, you won’t

    [Chorus]
    You only like me when I do my tricks for you
    You wear me out like you wear that southern cross tattoo
    You said I'd look much better if I dropped the attitude
    Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone

    [Verse 2]
    You've got all of your ducks lined up in a row
    Driving back from the job with Kyle and Jackie-O
    You want all of us to pull you out of the muck
    You're always wanting a kiss and then you want to get laid
    Get laid, get laid

    [Chorus]
    You only like me when I do my tricks for you
    And you wear me out like you wear that southern cross tattoo
    You said I'd look much better if I dropped the attitude
    Leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone

    Probably my favourite track so far this year.

  27. g.... 4....

    This different hearing English from New Zealand or Australia. Once my ex almost started a fight on a flight overseas with a N.Z. womens Soccer team. She said because the flight was so long she said " i'm tired of being on the airplane with all these Australians". They got up out of their seats to kick her arse but i stood up and explained she is just one stupid American woman and don't know the difference. They then realized what we all were dealing with. They Still wanted to kock her azz. Finally we got to Hawaii where i suffered 3 years of her lyong and creeping. Thank god i never will she her dumb azz again. Maybe i should have let the New Zealand team have a GO AT HER ANYWAY??? HUH?

  28. B.... S....

    Australian female singers take note: this is how to sing with an aussie accent and not sound like garbage

  29. l.... ....

    Maaan that revel guitar :) awesome song Stella

  30. r.... ....

    oh geez who is this chick just heard hear in background thats pretty bangin. australian?

    r.... ....

    ropeadopaderp yeah she’s Australian.

    r.... ....

    @Gene Wilson That's a catchy as hell chorus. and her little dancing jigs are fun as hell. Leave it aloneeeee leavee it aloneeeee. I could have used a 3rd chorus at the end.



    I looked at her wiki and some critic called it like an album ode to shitty men which I don't think I want to sit through but ill have try a few other songs. Hopefully poppy like this. Good recommendation by youtube algorithm

  31. b.... b....

    Wonderful. Really getting into the album and 'Tricks' one of the best. Song of the year.

  32. P.... L....

    Definitely a groovy tune, really dig the live version from kexp, very ecstatic. Good stuff

    Me gusta tu música, Stella. Sigue componiendo así de lindo y cantando también lindo, seguramente los éxitos vendrán, pero, por favor, sigue siendo diferente del resto. Un abrazo y buenos deseos desde Lima, Perú.

  39. �.... ....

    JOURNAL STANDARDとコラボしたTシャツかっこよすぎて衝動買いしました。それで曲を聞きに来ました。素敵です!

  40. A.... C....

    Love Stella's face expressions through the whole video. Cracks me up!

  41. i.... ....

    Whats the story with the boyfriend? He looks so sad at the end.

  42. C.... R....

    *It's so 90s, I'm gonna pimp my sneakers.*

  43. s.... ....

    haha this is so great ! it would be amazing to get her to perform for 'smallsongs' !

    s.... ....

    definitely!

  44. S.... O....

    If you like this artist, you may admire the work of Laura Mulcahy. Her music is incredible.

  45. S.... H....

    Is that outfit ironic? Great song though although I have no idea what "wear me like you wear that southern cross tattoo' is supposed to mean.

    S.... H....

    Stuart Hickson it refers to tattoos of the australian flag

  46. O.... T....

    great set Stella at the Opera house live your solo performance :)

  47. J.... R....

    Fantastic tune! It sorta has that mid 70s soft rock/Hotel California vibe to it

  48. X.... ....

    My Favorite part of the song was From 0:00 to 4:07

  49. S.... L....

    Hola Maria José! 🤣

  50. S.... S....

    NPR "the current" brought me here

  51. B.... Y....

    I work at H&M and your fucking song is always fucking on and it fucking pisses me off and so does your fucking accent in the fucking song. So fuck that!

  52. r.... t....

    this is really good stuff, stella's voice is so charming and upbeat. Besides, the instrumental on their own are perfectly crafted indie-pop tunes, oozing with personality... Oh and amazing chorus on top of that.
    She seems to me like a less artsy version of U.S. Girls (which is really saying something)

  53. D.... A....

    Great personality Love it!

  54. L.... L....

    goddamnit i was so sure she was gonna say fuck

  55. A.... H....

    You said id look much better if i dropped my underpants

  56. C.... ....

    Getting some strong Elaine Benes / Pippi Longstocking vibes from the outfit

  57. A.... M....

    For anyone else working in retail, this song is fucking hell to listen to. jesus christ.

  58. s.... e....

    that guy did more spins in this video than zhenya medvedeva in her entire career, must feel dizzy..

  59. R.... H....

    Loving this, becoming a fan for sure. But she needs to buy some more clothes.

  60. A.... C....

    what the hell is this??

    A.... C....

    The world of music beyond baseball caps and autotuned schlongs.

  61. c.... ....

    Sorry - I'm gonna take you advice, Stella, and leave it alone.

  62. M.... G....

    I’m honestly so sick of hearing this stupid fucking song playing at work. Most idiotic lyrics ever. Just stop.

  63. G.... s....

    she kinda like a female mac demarco

    G.... s....

    Dont push it

    G.... s....

    @souza you dont see it? her little guitar rifts, lyrical tonality even that little cackle in there all really remind me of papa mac

  64. s.... ....

    amazing song

  65. C.... ....

    Bloody beautiful, and SO relevant for our times. Thanks for telling it like it is, Stella <3

  66. A.... ....

    Absolute tune

  67. T.... j....

    Love all the lyrics! Classic, lmao 😁 bit of a lefty/feminist anthem i reckon

  68. s.... ....

    Saw a Fjallraven Kanken and switched off

  69. A.... R....

    Your album is magnificent, please please please come to Israel

  70. D.... R....

    Am I the only one strongly reminded of Frente by this?

  71. A.... ....

    When I first heard this song, I was like, "I'm all for Triple J getting behind Australian song writers, but this song is shit!" But after I heard it a few times, I freakin love it now! I think it was the lyrics that got to me first, then the melody and then the simple yet catchy chorus.

  72. K.... ....

    Just heard this on triple J.. logged into youtube and came to this page just to downvote it.. That's how absolutely awful it is.

  73. T.... B....

    glad i heard this song in a store its a bop

  74. g.... 4....

    Whoa! Do us Men really Act that Rude???

    g.... 4....

    Oops! Guess we need to learn manners. :\

  75. G.... W....

    Ever playing in Brisbane?

  76. n.... ....

    how did she get Ian Thorpe to dance in this vid?

  77. G.... W....

    Love this, keep it up

  78. g.... 4....

  83. E.... M....

  84. M.... ....

    I think that "...laid..." line is a bit clunky, but isn't it supposed to be? Who really knows, I'm just here to see if my house made the cut. Didn't. Locals want to redevelop that concrete drain, but I think it's in so many fashion & artie shots it's almost a local feature. Cool place to do skids with my bike.

  85. J.... A....
