No Good Advice

About No Good Advice

"No Good Advice" is a song by British girl group Girls Aloud, taken from their debut album Sound of the Underground (2003). The song was written by Aqua's Lene Nystrøm Rasted, Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins and his production team Xenomania, and produced by Higgins and Xenomania. It has themes of rebellion, reflecting Higgins' general mood of failure after a business partnership fell through. Following the overwhelming success of Girls Aloud's debut single "Sound of the Underground", the group waited five months until May 2003 before releasing the follow-up. The song cemented their success when it peaked at number two in Ireland, Scotland and on the UK Singles Chart. "No Good Advice" performed moderately elsewhere, reaching the top forty in the Netherlands, the top fifty in Belgium and peaking at number 88 in Australia. The music video features Girls Aloud dressed in futuristic silver outfits and hologram effects. "No Good Advice" was promoted through various live performances and has since been performed on Girls Aloud's first three concert tours. Described as "a disco track with guitar", the song has heavy 1980s influences. The track was lauded by many contemporary music critics, who deemed it a worthy sequel to its predecessor and praised Higgins' production. more »

Daddy told me look into the future 
Sit at your computer, be a good girl 
And Mama said remember your a lady,
Think before your play and straighten your curls,

Well everybody's talking like I'm crazy 
Dangerous and lazy girl with no soul 
But I've seen it all from where I'm hiding 
Baby cause I'm sliding, out of control 

[Bridge]
Here I go, off the road crank the stereo
I flick my finger to the world below 
Here I am, dirty hands, I don't give a damn 
Shut your mouth because it might show

[Chorus]
I don't need no good advice 
I'm already wasted 
I don't need some other life 
Cold and complicated 
I don't need no Sunday trips
Tea and sympathizing
I don't need no special fix 
To anaesthetise me

Daddy always told me to remember, 
Leave the boys, till later, don't you drop down 
Mama said I'd never get to heaven 
Hanging till eleven, with the wrong crowd 

Everybody's talking like I'm only
Just another phony girl who got played 
But I dig the music that I'm making 
Baby, and I'll break it into your brain 

Here I go, off the road crank the stereo
I flick my finger to the world below 
Here I am, dirty hands, I don't give a damn 
Shut your mouth because it might show

[Chorus]

Here I go, off the road crank the stereo
I flick my finger to the world below 
Here I am, dirty hands, I don't give a damn 
Shut your mouth because it might show

[Spoken]
I don't need no good advice
No well intentioned sacrifice
I don't need no Sunday trips
No chocolate box or speed for kicks
Hell I don't need no beauty sleep
No need to count those dirty sheep
And I don't need no bedtime prayer
Cause frankly I don't even care
