  Lyrics  
 
A man with a tattoo
Made me a rendez-vous
He met Lolita in a bar in Soho
The glitter on her lips
The way she moved her hips
Dancing to the beat of the stereo

She's so disco

He said : "You're gonna be my queen
Come on, shake my tambourine
You'll be the superstar of my floor show"
They drank a lot and jived
Ran away from the lights
Rushing at the doors of the Glass Bowl

She's so disco
She's so disco
She's so disco
She's soooooo disco

He took her for a ride
Kiss me, hold me tight
Don't resist, pump up the volume of the radio
It was the dead of night
Not a single soul in sight
Lolita yields to the killer gigolo

She's so disco

A man with a tattoo
Made me a rendez-vous
He met Madonna in a bar in Soho
The glitter on her lips
The way she moved her hips
Dancing to the beat of the stereo

She's so disco
She's so disco
She's so disco
She's soooooo disco

  Notes  
 

She's so Disco is the first single from Welcome... and it had an heavy rotation on the European rock radio stations at the end of 1999/beginning of 2000.
Amongst those radio stations, Ouï FM from Paris strongly supported Venus and received them for a mini-concert during which they played a slower version of She's so Disco, the same one they would play at the end of their concerts during the tours. This is the version recorded on the Pop Song EP.
She's so Disco, and its catchy and frivolous melody, is somewhat different from the "average" Venus song (if such a thing exists in the first place). This is deliberate. Regarding the lyrics, here's what Marc Huyghens once said : "Thomas got the idea of a disco song. We've thought it was fun and we've explored the vocabulary of the genre : words like hot, stereo, radio, brothers and sisters... And there has to be a lot of sex. Eventually, the text is quite unhealthy : a serial killer who murders well-dancing girls. We kinda freaked out."

 
You won't tell me, I know it's hard
To keep your dream alive
Royalsucker
