SO SWELL

First released 2001

So Swell is a  track, previewed at the band's shows in May 2000 in London and Portugal and recorded during the sessions for the band's album Pleased To Meet You. So Swell is a rant at an unnamed female celebrity who is "face of the year" and the associated lifestyle but whose popularity will be short-lived, with Tim waiting for "the hell of a drop". It was neglected on the Theatre Tour and has been chosen as a b-side to the Getting Away With It (All Messed Up) single.

LYRICS

Waiting for the limo to arrive

Moments to compose yourself

Thank your mother, the producer

And don't forget the rest of the help

You're the face of the year

Cover smile on every shelf

So swell

So swell

You've been hurting yourself

Trackmarks are just for show

On the inside, you're a ghost town

Tumbleweed and Bates Motel

I'm as stupid as you're pretty

Expecting love will be in kind

And I hope you love the party

I hope you love being queen of the ball

Yes I hope you love the party

I hope you weren't expecting the fall

And I hoped you loved the party

I hope you loved being queen of the ball

You look radiant tonight

Cameras just suck you in

Play the fame game

Line of cocaine

OK said you look too thin

You're on top of the pile

On top of the dogs

It's a hell of a drop

And I hope you love the party

I hope you love being queen of the ball

Yes I hope you love the party

I hope you weren't expecting the fall

Last I heard you were in Vegas

I heard that it was treating you well

Yes I hope you loved the party

I hope you loved feeling so swell.
