Horrorshow - Nice Guys Finish Last Lyrics






[Solo & Joyride:]
"I was gonna talk about it. It's like a bit happier and brighter than I thought it would be."
"Well, this isn't gonna be anywhere near the-what the finished beat will be, I don't reckon."

[Solo:]
On the footpath out the front of Oxford Arts
Stinging for a stiff drink in a short glass
Junkies and cop cars rushing past
And I'm thinking there could be a bit of mischief on the cards
It was a Friday night and the treble was clanging
And the hipsters was hanging, and the ladies was banging
So uh... me and the fellas are looking for companions
In the corner chatting to these chicks, tryna make it happen
And as far as I can tell, it's all going swell
Vibing out, just hanging with my mademoiselle
But I wasn't planning on that everyman for himself
When my boy's step in and start chatting as well
I figure it's game over, that's stiff competition
See my man's got a way with women
Self fashioned Casanov, the other has a lady at home, but
He's still on a mission to fill his quota
And sure enough, next thing you know they're both pairing up
And I'm back to square one thinking, 'Fuck it, I'm done'
So I catch a cab home down Parramatta Road
Listen to the cabby chatter on his phone
Breath fogging up the glass, city lights rushing past
Damn, I shoulda seen it coming from the start

[Joyride & Solo:]
Nice guys finish last
Good girls move too fast
Now you're sitting in the back of your car
Thinking that you've gone too far
But you'll never know
No, you'll never know
'Cause nice guys finish last

[Joyride:]
(Ring ring) Ayo, whatup, ma?
Wanna talk about how your man is acting subpar?
You under stress, under-appreciated?
Wishing I was the man that you were dating?
Mm-hmm okay, well I'm laughing and I'm smiling
All the while I got the West Wing on silent
Dividing my attention until I hear you mention
When yours truly was the object of your affection
But you chatting 'bout this wally, how he can't stay put
Reminiscing 'bout that Molly down at Halfway Crooks
Well, I don't remember much beyond your touch
A little hazy on the ooh baby's, you were hasty, in a rush
To get out that door, see that much I can recall
Now you've got my phone on blast?

[Joyride & Solo:]
Nice guys finish last
Good girls move too fast
Now you're sitting in the back of your car
Thinking that you've gone too far
But you'll never know
No, you'll never know
'Cause nice guys finish last

[Joyride:]
And I should know
'Cause I'm sitting at the back of the pack
Man, I should have seen this coming from the start
Nice guys finish last

[Solo:]
So if you ain't no slick talker, looking for some sorta fling
Just hoping that some pretty young thing
In the city might catch you in the corner of her eye
And take pity on you, make you her king, spare a thought for the
Nice guys of the world we applaud
Raise up the hand that you use to open her door
And just give yourselves a pat on the back
Signing out from the back of the pack, it's like that

[Joyride:]
Now you're sitting in the back of your car
Thinking that you've gone too far
Chasing popped collars at the bar
The type who be paying on card
You ain't gotta look so hard
But you'll never know
No, you'll never know
Nice guys finish last

    "So if you ain't no slick talker looking for some sort of fling
    Just hope that some pretty young thing
    In the city might catch you in the corner of her eye
    And take pity on you, make you a king

    And just give yourselves a pat on the back
    Signing out from the back of the pack, it's like that"

  39. T.... B....

    Elefant Traks...never disappoint

  40. R.... T....

    anybody know what type of music is this (ex jazz pop rock...)

    this tone is good for sleeping

    R.... T....

    Australian hip-hop

  46. m.... ....

    is is so true!

  47. D.... S....

    This song is so classic - so much style and fully sick

  48. J.... W....

    This song made me smile. It also made me sad. 

    The people nerdy internet/videogame type people get along with are probably at home watching Netflix instead of out at bars. It makes it nearly impossible to meet them.

    J.... W....

    @Jamie Danton hi jamie, the song is all a bit of fun i wouldn't let it make you too sad! PS shouts to netflix

    J.... W....

    Jamie Danton you won't meet the right type of girl out at some ranny bar/club

    S.... B....

    @Sean Busby big ups sean thanks for listening!

    S.... B....

    +Elefant Traks Fuck your gay

    S.... B....

    +Jakob Christensen it's the 21st century, so please stop with gay slurs and say something original.

    S.... B....

    +Jakob Christensen Fuck, you're gay* Goes to show which type of person would make that comment.

  50. T.... t....

    I love this song so much.
    Chills me while no song can do.

  51. L.... O....

    so much respect for this track, being a nice guy i totally understand how hard it can be to catch a break with all these lovely women going for such dickheads! i wish they could just see that its all about whats in the heart that matters :(

    L.... O....

    @KeymashProductions My god.. you're to srs, but okay. Whatever man, you can tip whatever hat you have. You're getting so mad about the truth because ugly guys like me and others can't keep/get in a relationship.

    L.... O....

    @KeymashProductions Fact if you're defending something nonexistent. You're trying to regurgitate Buckley, and failing.
    I don't expect girls to date me, but when give others respect, you expect respect in return. I know females/hoes/wtf ever who hate on people who are ugly because their ugly.

    L.... O....

    @Kit Lick I have no clue who this Buckley is. But you seem to think that the way they should show respect back is by dating you. That's entitlement. Remember, just because you respect them, they do not have to respect you. But then again, you don't have to be friends with them either so tell people who don't respect you to fuck off. 

    L.... O....

    @KeymashProductions yeah that's all I'm saying :p
    Then again I tend to shove my respect into people's asses until they respect me (works most of the time). Like what I'm trying to say, I'm not trying for a date, I want to be able to chat, not be shuned or shit talked on at the sight of my face. Like I said life is hell for ugly people. :p

    L.... O....

    @Kit Lick As I said, if people give you shit TO YOUR FACE they aren't worth your fucking time. Find someone who appreciates you because they are fucking out there. But if you spend your time complaining that girls don't like you "even though I'm soooooooo nice!!!11!!!" then maybe you should spend that time actually making friends. Also, people giving you shit for your looks isn't really a gendered issue. So why are you talking specifically about girls? That kinda hints at the fact that you do feel entitled to a relationship for common fucking courtesy. 

  52. S.... ....

    Nice Man! much respect

  53. J.... t....

    I sympathise with this songs message, even if it's a different situation but the point is similar.

  54. L.... ....

    Fucking lol at the part when the guy is fighting the kangaroo xD

  55. M.... A....

    I love this song!!(:

  56. P.... H....

    This is a dope song and the music video is dope to. I wish a nice guy like me would get appreciated more.

    P.... H....

    I'd appreciate you

    P.... H....

    maybe if you were actually a decent person you would get girls?

  57. f.... K....

    These characters just have to much personality to appear in just one video. seriously someone consider making a fan animation. 

  58. J.... D....

    Best aus rap song I've lisented to in a while

  59. M.... ....

    Darude- sandstorm

  60. N.... G....

    Lucidzdzn sent me here!

  61. A.... S....

    For years upon years ive been somewhat disgusted by aussie hiphop, but as soon as I heard this hook all of my shit went out the window. Horrorshow are taking such a decent path and im keen to hear what the next album will be like.

  62. R.... R....

    omg.... a new favourite band right here :D!!

  63. R.... ....

    Can't believe I haven't listened to Horrorshow before this... Singlehandedly restored my faith in Aus Hiphop. Keep being awesome everyone involved!

    R.... ....

    Robolenin go check out bliss n eso. That’s some good shit as well. Not a huge fan of their newest album but still some of my favorite artists

  64. A.... V....

    well animated

  65. L.... H....

    Great clip! Would have been perfect if at the end they had three lonely chicks on the floor above playing video games as well haha!

    L.... H....

    Right, just like in the real world. *rolls eyes*

    L.... H....

    I live in the real world...

    L.... H....

    I'd live in a better world if my playstation was still alive!

  66. D.... ....

    That's why there are so many bad guys out there cause they are sick and tired of being a nice guy

    D.... ....

    whatever you say, loser chad

  67. M.... E....

    Standard night out in oz. 

    M.... E....

    Probably

  68. Q.... ....

    Darude and Nick Skitz? It's like I've gone back to the early 2000's. So awesome.

  69. N.... M....

    this video is full of bullshit 

  70. a.... ....

    night Sydney is a f@cking zooooooo

  71. Z.... W....

    Damn, that's some great Aussie hip hop

  72. N.... C....

    kings cross ay

  73. M.... ....

    straya kunts

  74. T.... ....

    That's not Australia... the cabby would be Indian.

  75. J.... O....

    Is this seriously the title of this song?

  76. b.... a....

    Been stuck in my head for over a week now and I don't even listen to hip-hop! This song is catchy as, well done.

  77. A.... ....

    The hook's funny the animation's top notch and it put a smile on my face. You my friend have defenitley earned a subscriber, a like, and a fan ♡

  78. H.... ....

    Such a great and relevant video hahaha good job lads 

  79. J.... L....

    I was thinking Thundamentals- Paint the Town Red style vid with a bigger budget.

  80. J.... L....

    I'm so disappointed with this video. I was all gee'd up to see Sydney nightlife in all it's glory and got a very cheap imitation instead. Come on, it would have been SUCH a great posse video if you got all the One Dayers involved. :(

    J.... L....

    jen, i understand the fact that you have an opinion and you wanna share it but to call this video a 'very cheap imitation' of anything is ludicrous and an insult to all the time, hard work (and money of course) that went into it. big ups to Oh Yeah Wow for a killer clip that brought our song to life

  81. G.... ....

    Well that escalated.

  82. D.... Z....

    Funny video, Love the kangaroo kick!!, don't mess with animals!

  83. J.... H....

    This is dope as f*ck!
    That junkie walking at the start got me hahah.
    Shout to the animator and to horrorshow!
    Keep on killing it fella's

  84. J.... D....

    Holy fuck, that guy at 1:28 was the funniest thing I've ever seen in a music film clip, best Aussie Hip-Hop film clip ever.

  85. C.... G....

    Hahahahaha that's awesome. Legit lolling

  86. b.... h....

    Welcome to the S.Y.D

  87. B.... I....

    Great job on this guys this was just excellent! :D

  88. K.... ....

    That is actually the funniest video I've seen in a long time 

  89. b.... ....

    Shit yer story of my live awesome tune

  90. S.... S....

    Could seriously make a decent TV show out of this. It'd be better than The Cleveland Show anyway.

  91. C.... ....

    Love it!

  92. W.... ....

    i haven't laughed so hard all year, you guys are the best!

  93. S.... ....

    Freaking awesome!

  94. K.... c....

    I'm sure the girls appreciate guys finishing last ;)

    K.... c....

    hahah good one bro :) x

    K.... c....

    They don't. That's what the song's about. Girls don't seem to care about nice guys but they appreciate bad-behaved guys who treat them like shit.

    K.... c....

    DJ Spuddzz do you get the joke, bro?

    K.... c....

    DJ Spuddzz I get you but the guy just made a joke, man

    K.... c....

    That profile picture is so perfect with this comment.

  95. S.... B....

    hahah love the snake chomping down

  96. C.... N....

    haha classic and original
