Amy Macdonald - Footballer's Wife Lyrics
Oh, Mr James Dean, he don't
belong to anything.
Oh he left before they could get him,
With their ways, their wicked ways.
Oh Marilyn Monroe, where did you go?
I didn't see all your glory.
But the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end who is she to pretend
That she's one of them
I don't think so.
And the girl from that show
yes the one we all know
she thinks she's some kinda star, yes you know who you are.
I don't think so. I don't think so.
Oh ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire
Won't you dance for me cos I just don't care
What's going on today, I think there's something more, something more.
And I'm gone with the wind like they were before.
But I'm believing myself I think there's something more
There must be something more, I think there's something more, something more.
[Chorus]
Oh I don't believe in the telling of your stories
throughout your life, there's just something unappealing it don't catch my eye
it don't catch my eye.
Oh I don't believe in the selling of your glories before you leave this life
there's so much more to see, I don't believe this is how the world should be.
[Chorus]

The best..no more
"Oh Mr James Dean, he don't belong to anything Oh he left before they could get him With their ways, their wicked ways" Very true, he died before he had the opportunity to become one of them and that's why he's still remembered. He died being himself, he was his own self made man who never stopped being a child at heart. He was the original millineal.
James Byron Dean. Icon.
did Amy try to tell that if you have lot of money you tought that yours proplems are bigger than the average person?i dount know,but great lyrics.
Very deep cutting fiction, the lyrics. On the other hand, i personally have known 2 footballer's wifes, guys more or less famous. I don't think Amy would have to be anybodys wife to became famous herself. It's a pity and shame to have to even try to be a wellknown person via somebody elses fame. I hear a little angry edge in her voice concerning the stuff the lyrics telling. I don't think so, not personal experience at all. Maybe has Amy seen a woman like that at a party or somewhere. She's trying to sound so, maybe otherwise would start laughing without being able to stop her laughing for 10 minutes or so.... i don't think so, a strange but a brilliant song.
Love the obscure lyrics.
2008. Before everyone who has a FB account think they are a reality TV star.
Only Amy Macdonald, Chrissie Hynde and Cher can sing in that voice that cuts right through my skin to my soul! My ears don't even come into it! I feell their voices rather than hear them.
Never a truer word was spoken
Amy I’m listening to you in 2018 I love you
it's also a dig at jade goody..... :)
this song is satanic, this song was reference to Vanity who married the football player, they plan her death right along with Prince, her ex husband did life in prison and she knew what happen but years later she died. Poison Prince was also reference ti Prince, the elites already planted his death abd wanted to kill him and they did. prince knew everything was a rituals, this artist amy is satanic and knows what going on
Yes it's amazing how deep the game is messages are embedded in the most unlikely things
Did you peep in the Poison video she had a purple t shirt on , maybe a coincidence???
Rubbish,this song is a criticism of the Ridiculous celebrity culture that swept Britain in the first Decade of the 21st century attacking people who want to be famous by association without having any discernible talent of Their own.
I think she wrote this before she was herself engaged to a footballer, so it isn't about herself...She can't be called a hypocrite though because she wasn't with him for superficial reasons; 'footballer's wife' basically stands for anyone who is a celebrity for reasons other than they earnt it.
did she really marry a footy player? fkin el that's funny that.
@Dictionary Pictionary
Yeah
@Dictionary Pictionary She did but it's not exactly like he's lightning the world on fire, he's had moderate success. I guarantee she's the breadwinner of the family.
@Christopher Greig I agree. these wags love a good cat fight anyway.
Love this song. It's essentially a criticism of the superficiality of the modern world. Shallow people complaining about shallow problems.
This girl is immensely talented. Love the hell outta her.
Love this song. From my point of view her best song.
Amy Macdonald , very great sarcastic song about the wiifes of footballers who are famous based on their relation with a famous footbal player....for me her best song! She thinks she is a star, I don't think so!
Thanks Margaux Genermont
Thanks Fabrizio Iotti
Absolutely right.
Not sarcastic in the slightest! She's saying it outright. In the West of Scotland, we say what we mean and we mean what we say and to hell with the consequences.
It is the best.. but she was a real Star
She (Amy) is one of them, currently one of the best songwriter and singer !!
Little Peter approves
amazing song!
football ..........i think immotrtal
hahaha bestes Beispiel Ann-Kathrin Brömmel :)) Freundin von Mario Götze :D Oder die anderen :))
listening in 2013! great song
RELOAD50 - THE BEST SINGER FOR A MILE IN SCOTLAND?
Amy knows what's she is on about in this song MAGIC thumbs up for Amy she's no gold digger!
love this song,lyrically its amazing...
I love this song! I really connect with it!
this song very deep...compels thoughtful!!! Thank you, Amy, such songs do the world better!)
@modarXmodar Exactly. It's pretty obvious :)
the lyrics are clear and she didn't refer to some particular person , it's just about our modern world that cares about the trash!! and forgets that there are much important things and ideas to talk about
it's totally one of the best songs , really catching and so much great music in it
anyone that doesn thinkt this is about cheryl cole is dumb as fuck
Isn't Amy herself engaged to a football star? Is this song about herself? I'm confused...
I just can't stop listening to it... goes over and over again. The words? Soooo true...
It has to be about Cheryl Cole - as a talentless whining tale telling self publicist who jumps on any band wagon passing Cheryl fits the bill. Love Amy and love the song - a real talent in a hyped up almost talentless world, Keep on writing and rockin Amy!!!
Maybe rooney
@meloveme94 Pretty sure it's about Jade Goody.
is very good and i lik really this song and sorry for my english
This song....hmmmmm
the song is good, but why would I favourite the video? It is just a cover with lyrics....
brilliant song! Says it how it is. Thanks for posting it up.
great track , it tells of the stupid w a g s and other c rated celebs( yes you know who you are) and really we dont give a toss about them ,
i know but meant is it about a special person/celebrity she is singing about.
@meloveme94 This video contains the lyrics... it's pretty clear :)
@meloveme94 about Britain's obsession with celebrity
i soooo agree with you !!
such a good song
what is this song about?
Mine too. Simply wonderful...divine...
