GIRLS ALOUD | We Wanna Party

LYRICS:

My dedication is to my art
No education will buy my car
Too much temptation, and help too far away
We dress in black, we won't be light
We're so depressed
We wear our shades at night
Without the stress, we just might fade away

We wanna party but we got no soul
We wanna start it
Blow our senses out of control
We wanna make it but we got no way
We're gonna hate it
But we might just fake it today

We wanna party but we got no love
We wanna party but we got no love
We wanna party but we got no love
We wanna party but we got no love

Disillusioned with my dreams
Got life confused with my designer jeans
Hey what's the use, with help too far away
We're on the list, in every line
We're anarchists if we can get the time
Without the shit, we might just fade away

We wanna party but we got no soul
We wanna start it
Blow our senses out of control
We wanna make it but we got no way
We're gonna hate it
But we might just fake it today

We wanna party but we got no love
We wanna party but we got no love
We wanna party but we got no love
We wanna party but we got no love

Notes:
"We Wanna Party" was originally recorded by Lene (lead singer of Aqua) for her 2003 debut solo album Play With Me. Lene is credited as a co-writer on her version, but not on the Girls Aloud version.

The two versions are virtually identical. Girls Aloud's version is however slightly "rockier". They also have different endings: Lene's version ends with a fade-out of the chorus, while Girls Aloud's has extra guitar chords.


REVIEWS:

x Hipster-dissing album closer 'We Wanna Party' is interesting. It's a Xenomania song originally sung by Aqua's Lene Nystrom Rasted on her debut solo album. Coming from people as earnestly and passionately in love with pop music as Xenomania, it feels like a genuine, and angry, protest against the accelerated 'nothing-really-means-anything' hyper-irony currently poisoning a lot of youth popular culture. The lyrics of 'We Wanna Party' aren't exactly poetic, but they do paint a sad picture of what it's like the relinquish all hope or belief in anything apart from shallow posturing. 'We wanna party, but we got no love,' the chorus mourns, and all that's left is to 'fake it'. As the closing track of Out Of Control, it seems like a warning of exactly how not to take Girls Aloud. Shallow? Superficial? Anything that's this much fun, that makes you feel this alive, is surely anything but. No Good Advice

x It's a lot like Lene from Aqua's 'We Wanna Party', mainly because it's a rocked-up cover of that very song. We're not exactly sure why this is on the album but nobody's getting hurt, it's only a bonus track and it sounds great in a 'What Will The Neighbours Say?' kind of way. Popjustice
