Five Colours In Her Hair
McFly! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do

She's got a lip ring and five colours in her hair
Not into fashion but I love the clothes she wears
Her tattoo's always hidden by her underwear
She don't care

Everybody wants to know her name
I threw a house party and she came
Everyone asked me
Who the hell is she?
That weirdo with five colours in her hair

She's just a loner with a sexy attitude
I'd like to bone her 'cause she puts me in the mood
The rumors spreading round that she cooks in the nude
But she don't care, she don't care

Everybody wants to know her name
How does she cope with her new found fame?
Everyone asks me
Who the hell is she?
That weirdo with five colours in her hair

She was all I thought about
The girl I couldn't live without
But then she went insane,
She couldn't take the fame
She said I was to blame
She'd had enough
And shaved five colours off
And now she's just a weirdo with no name

Everybody wants to know her name
How does she cope with her new found fame?
Everyone asks me
Who the hell is she
That weirdo with five colours in her hair

Do do do do do do




Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do

Listening to this song again in 2023! 14 years ago I was just 14 years old and inlove with Mcfly. Now I’m 28 and my love for them hasn’t faded one bit. This brings back so many precious memories. ❤

@Stupidestvideos

This song is from 2004 by the way so it’s 20 years old now

@ProjectsOfPugh

I can't believe that this was number 1 in the UK charts 9 years ago today! 9 years! It's still a classic, and I am so glad that McFly are still performing together :)
