She Looks Like Fun Lyrics

One, two, three, four

Smile like you've got a straw in something tropical
I've got the party plugged right into my skull
Wayne Manor, what a memorable N.Y.E

Good morning
(She looks like fun) Cheeseburger
(She looks like fun)...

   The songs on TBH&C all talk about humanity’s demise as caused by the digital age, and this song is no different.
   
   Smile like you've got a straw in something tropical
   I've got the party plugged right into my skull
   Wayne Manor, what a memorable N.Y.E
   
   The person in this stanza is pretending to be a celebrity by posting a fake picture of themselves drinking a tropical drink. They compare themselves to the people partying at Wayne Manor while watching the party from their phone.
   
   Good morning
   (She looks like fun) Cheeseburger
   (She looks like fun) Snowboarding
   (She looks like-)
   
   This part is seemingly random, but you would see photos of all these things on a social media page (a good morning post, a picture of a cheeseburger, snowboarding). This is in the perspective of somebody looking at the social media page and thinking the person posting is fun by their photos. In fact, the randomness makes this part even more influential! Alex is saying he doesn’t care about the lyrics of the song, hinting at the absurdity of social media usage and photos, which means that stopping the digital age (or changing it) is more important to him.
   
   Finally, I can share with you through cloudy skies
   Every whimsical thought that enters my mind
   There's no limit to the length of the dickheads we can be
   
   People can act however they want on social media and share 9278272837283 photos with what feels like no consequences.
   
   Bukowski
   (She looks like fun) Dogsitting
   (She looks like fun) Screwballing
   (She looks like-)
   
   Finally, there's a place where you can wag your tongue
   Baby, but why can't we all just get along?
   Dance as if somebody's watching, 'cause they are
   
   The last line is about how you can go to a party today and somebody will just be taking a video of you to post on their account, so you have to be conscious of what you do.
   
   No one's on the streets
   We moved it all online as of March
   I'm so full of shite
   I need to spend less time stood around in bars
   Waffling on to strangers all about martial arts
   And how much I respect them
   
   This part feels like a prediction of COVID-19
   Key changes
   (She looks like fun) Re-thinking
   (She looks like fun) New order
   (She looks like fun)
   
   Finally!!!!! The person who was posting the cheeseburgers and the Bukowski quotes on their Instagram is wondering whether what they’re doing is important to them!!!!!!
