We Love You
Helen Love Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bubblegum, punk pop, disco, don't stop,
Make a record in your home,
You don't need a studio,
Bubblegum, punk pop, disco, don't stop,
Drum machine, Casio,
Get it on the radio

Can't stop Julie and her synthesizer,
She's got more fizz than a bottle of Tizer,
Can't stop Sheena and her Super Kay,
With the fuzzbox on she'll play all day

Pop boy, pop girl, we love you,
Pop boy, pop girl, we love you,
Pop boy, pop girl, we love you,
We love you

Bubblegum, punk pop, disco, don't stop,
Make a record in your home,
You don't need a studio,
Bubblegum, punk pop, disco, don't stop,
Get some pictures, cut them out,
Paste them up and put it out

Can't stop Julie having disco fun,
She's got more records than Radio 1,
Can't stop Judy with her drum machine,
She's got more patterns than the Human League

Pop boy, pop girl, we love you,
Pop boy, pop girl, we love you,
Pop boy, pop girl, we love you

I bought these jeans to make you love me,
I cut a hole so your hand would fit,
Now I don't care about you,
I'm gonna sew up all the rips

I got these boots to make you happy,
I scuffed them up to turn you on,
Now I don't care about you,
I've got my Helen Love t-shirt on

Can't stop Julie and her super Moog,
You'll be amazed at the things she'll do,
Can't stop Sheena and her Super Kay,
With the fuzzbox on she'll play all day

We love you,
We love you,
We love you,
We love you

We love, we love you,
We love, we love you,
We love, we love you,
We love, we love you,
We love, we love you,
We love, we love you,




We love, we love you,
We love, we love you

Helen Love, I love you back ^_^. 'It's My Club And I'll Play What I Want Too' is one of the finest albums I've ever had the pleasure to purchase. I even transcribed 'Helen Loves Joey', because I love the way the chorus goes  'And he said they'd live in New York, And the Stars would be their own' with a One to Five Chord Change, - It's fucking awesome. I hope you get to see this and my (Messed up by HTML) transcription. :D
