Karaoke Queen Lyrics - Catatonia

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
