about

The final single to be released from Laura Imbruglia's fourth album "Scared Of You" is a feminist call to arms for the men of the world, and the people who raise them. Laura calmly implores the listener to do better, against a juxtaposition of a relentless bulldozer riff pummelling all in its wake.

"This song had some funny lyrics peppered throughout it originally, as I was self conscious about writing a feminist song. On the night before recording it, I completely rewrote the lyrics, resolving that feminism is not a laughing matter. For an extra little musical reference, I also play the whole song through a Big Muff pedal (a vintage Russian one, for all you guitar pedal nerds out there). Give girls green toys!" - Laura

lyrics

GIVE BOYS PINK TOYS

Hold a mirror up to your face
Should someone else be in your place?
When she's walking home at a quickened pace,
It’s not cos she’s participating in a race.

Give boys pink toys

It’s a character-building thing -
To stomp, not dance on the ceiling
To stare, not glance at our ugly things.
It starts when men are children so be better with them.

Give boys pink toys
