The original Supergroove lineup reformed to support Crowded House at three New Zealand shows in October 2007. They have subsequently continued to tour, playing gigs and festivals in New Zealand and overseas.
Scorpio Girls
Supergroove Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She seems a nice girl but she is one too
What's going on? I can't understand it
Something went wrong, I'm a starsign magnet
I try to hide it but they just keep coming
Bad bitching babes get my guitar strumming
Every single time I get sucked these Scorpio Girls always seem to win
Scorpi-orpi-orpios rocking my world
Scorpi-orpi-orpios every time
Those Scorpio Girls I'm a hungry enzyme
Thrice bitten, thrice shy but every time I'm a sucker
See a Scorpio
She'd seductive 'cause she's cool like a dipper
You get hot like a roskie and you're acting like a gripper
Better chill out like a monkey in a tree
Because she'll take your fins and throw you back in the sea
Ain't a love song but I just gotta sing it
Scorpio Girls sting it baby, sting it
Scorpi-orpi-orpio Scorpio girls
Scorpi-orpi-orpios rocking my world
Scorpi-orpi-orpios every time
Those Scorpio Girls I'm a hungry enzyme
They're bad, they're glad they're bad
Those girls I had, they made me sad, so mad
Acting like a fool, crazy about them 'cause they're cool, cool, cool
Spunky like a spunka she's got a lot of spunk
Think you want some of that Scorpio funk?
I do too, what am I supposed to do?
She seems a nice girl but she is one too
