Tennis Court by Lorde

July 11, 2014


'Let's get down to the tennis court and talk it up like yeah!' I fell in love with this song once I heard it! This is one of Lorde's song in her debut album 'Pure Heroine (2013)'. From what I found out, this lyrics of this song actually addressed Lorde's new found fame and criticising the 'high-life'. In my opinion the music video of this song is quite sedentary as I was waiting for some climax scene other than her face. (actually it shows only Lorde's face for the entire music video). Oh well. Hope you enjoy the music video. Till then, au revoir!


Tennis Court lyrics

Don't you think that it's boring how people talk?
Making smart with their words again, well I'm bored
Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killin' it
Never not chasing a million things I want
Cause I am only as young as the minute is full of it
Getting pumped up from the little bright things I bought
But I know they'll never own me
(Yeah)

Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah

Pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane
I'll see the veins of my city like they do in space
But my head's filling up fast with the wicked games, up in flames
How can I fuck with the fun again, when I'm known?
And my boys trip me up with their heads again, loving them
Everything's cool when we're all in line, for the throne
But I know it's not forever
(Yeah)

Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah

It looked alright in the pictures
Getting caught's half of the trip though, isn't it?
I fall apart, with all my heart
And you can watch from your window
And you can watch from your window

Baby be the class clown
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah

And talk it up like yeah
And talk it up like yeah
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah
And talk it up like yeah
And talk it up like yeah
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah
(Yeah)
