| Trax: | Ahead Of The Race, Diet Coke Girl, Rollercoasting (CD only) |
|---|---|
| Label: | Damaged Goods, DAMGOOD 80 |
| Released: | 1995?, 2-track 7", 3-track CD. First 500 7"s on white vinyl |
| More info: | The Damaged Goods catalogue calls this a 'mellower' release. That's maybe true musically, especially the title song, but take a look at some of those lyrics. Diet Coke Girl is a really vicious song with great potential for a gang sing-along over the last few lines. I wonder if it's aimed at anyone in particular. Rollercoasting brings the pace back down a little - it's faster than the same-named track on the Summer Pop Punk Pop EP but not by much. And no, it's not the same song. |
Wants to ride on a rollercoaster,
Wants her face on a billboard poster,
Want to go a little bit further than most,
With you next time
She's looking great,
Got electric pace,
Miles ahead of the race,
You're miles and miles behind the chase
Wants to fly across the sea to the USA,
Don't care what her parents say,
And she wants to go a little bit harder than most,
With you next time
She's looking great,
Got electric pace,
Miles ahead of the race,
You're miles and miles behind the chase,
She's looking great
Wants her own radio show,
Never heard of Status Quo,
Says rock'n'roll is dead,
And I think she knows
She's looking great,
Got electric pace,
Miles ahead of the race,
You're miles and miles behind the chase
Got electric pace,
(bang-shang-alang)
(bang-shang-alang)
(bang-shang-alang)
(shang-alang)
She's looking great (bang-shang-alang),
Got electric pace (bang-shang-alang),
Miles ahead of the race (bang-shang-alang),
You're miles and miles behind the chase

Her name is Claire, she's an office executive,
She wears white linen dresses with flair,
She lives with a policeman,
Plays squash on Thursday evenings,
She's in love with Billy Joel,
That's enough to kick her head in
The low-fat, high-fibre girl,
Suns herself by the lake,
She'll be late back to work,
But her boss says it's OK,
You know he really loves her
The diet-cola girl, the sugar-free boy,
The diet-cola girl, the sugar-free boy,
The diet-cola girl,
We all want to destroy
It's really hot, there's a breeze from America,
But she's so cool driving around,
Got the stereo up loud,
Loves her Michael Bolton,
You can spot her in a crowd,
She's the one to hang your coat on
The low-fat, high-fibre girl,
Suns herself by the lake,
She'll be late back to work,
But her boss says it's OK,
You know he really loves her
The diet-cola girl, the sugar-free boy,
The diet-cola girl, the sugar-free boy,
The diet-cola girl,
We all want to destroy
Diet Coca-cola girl,
Diet Coca-cola girl,
Diet Coca-cola girl,
Diet Coca-cola girl
She's not the real thing,
She's not the real thing,
She's not the real thing,
She's not the real thing,
She's not the real thing,
She's not the real thing,
Real thing
On a hot day, we'll go roller,
Rollercoasting, just you and me,
On a hot day, we'll be coasting,
Coasting away down by the sea
Roller, roller, roller,
Roller, roller, roller,
Roller, rollercoasting by the sea,
Roller, roller, roller,
Roller, roller, roller,
Roller, rollercoasting by the sea,
By the sea,

By the sea
On a hot day, we'll be coasting,
Coasting away, just you and me,
On a hot day, we'll be roller,
Coasting away down by the sea
Roller, roller, roller,
Roller, roller, roller,
Roller, rollercoasting by the sea,
Roller, roller, roller,
Roller, roller, roller,
Roller, rollercoasting by the sea
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Summer's here and it's time to go,
Got a speed king boy and the radio,
We're roller, rollercoasting,
Taking a trip down by the sea,
With the blue, blue sky for company,
We're roller, rollercoasting
Roller, roller, roller,
Roller, roller, roller,
Roller, rollercoasting by the sea,
Roller, roller, roller,
Roller, roller, roller,
Roller, rollercoasting by the sea
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Rollercoasting,
