You see that girl over there -
With big sunglasses on?
She can't take her eyes offa you
She's up and down 'bout seven times to the john
She's about to turn around her baseball hat

Just fancy that

You see that girl over there -
With the predatory stare?
She's about to make her big gambit - watch it
She's got a dangerous air - don't watch her
You know she wants you to
Better turn around before she makes her play

Just fancy that

You see that girl over there -
With the high-heel sneakers on?
She's been looking at you side long for half an hour
If you ask me, you better call a taxi and get uptown
You don't wanna wake up with a fatal disease

Just fancy that

Better cool your jets 'fore you lose your cool
Better hedge your bets or you'll look like a fool
Don't get all wound up, you're too out of it
Better settle up before you lose your wits

You see that teenager with no inhibitions on?
She's about to come and test the strength -
Of your resolve and how
She's got an ugly friend for insurance in the crowd
It's a game, a tease, she'll only sneer
If you try a pass

Just fancy that

After considering the name Big Brother, the band named themselves after the Power Station recording studio where the band did all of their recording. It was originally envisioned as a band with various singers, but after Palmer recorded “Communication”, it was decided to stick with him for all of the songs.
