In conventional parlance, vanity is the excessive belief in one's own abilities or attractiveness to others (Stephen LaMarche). Prior to the 14th century it did not have such narcissistic undertones, and merely meant futility. The related term vainglory is now often seen as an archaic synonym for vanity, but originally meant boasting in vain, i.e. unjustified boasting; although glory is now seen as having an exclusively positive meaning, the Latin term gloria (from which it derives) roughly means boasting, and was often used as a negative criticism.
In many religions vanity, in its modern sense, is considered a form of self-idolatry, in which one rejects God for the sake of one's own image, and thereby becomes divorced from the graces of God. The stories of Lucifer, Narcissus (who gave us the term narcissism) and others attend to a pernicious aspect of vanity. Philosophically speaking, vanity may refer to a broader sense of egoism and pride. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote that "vanity is the fear of appearing original: it is thus a lack of pride, but not necessarily a lack of originality." One of Mason Cooley's aphorisms is "Vanity well fed is benevolent. Vanity hungry is spiteful."
Christina María Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) is an American recording artist and actress. Aguilera first appeared on national television in 1990 as a contestant on the Star Search program, and went on to star in Disney Channel's television series The Mickey Mouse Club from 1993 to 1994. Aguilera signed to RCA Records after recording "Reflection", the theme song for the animated film Mulan (1998).
In 1999, Aguilera came to prominence following her debut album Christina Aguilera, which was a commercial success spawning three number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100—"Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants", and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)." Her sophomore and her debut Latin-pop album, Mi Reflejo (2000), a Christmas third studio album, My Kind of Christmas (2000), and several collaborations followed which garnered Aguilera worldwide success, though she was displeased with her lack of input in her music and image. After parting from her management, Aguilera took creative control over her fourth studio album, Stripped (2002). The album's second single, "Beautiful", was a commercial success and helped the album's commercial performance amidst controversy over Aguilera's image. Aguilera followed up Stripped with the soul, jazz and blues inspired, Back to Basics (2006), released to positive critical acclaim. The album produced three singles "Ain't No Other Man", "Hurt" and "Candyman". Four years later Aguilera released her sixth studio album, Bionic (2010), which incorporated aspects of R&B, electropop, and synthpop and was met with mixed reviews and low sales. Aguilera's seventh studio album is set to be released in 2012.
Vanity 6 was a female vocal trio assembled by Prince in the early 1980s. They released one studio album, which blended the sounds of pop, New Wave, dance music, R&B, and funk.
In 1981, Prince, himself a rising musical star, suggested that his three female friends—his girlfriend Susan Moonsie, Boston native Brenda Bennett, and his personal assistant, Jamie Shoop form a girl group that would be called "The Hookers". Prince's vision was that the three women would perform in lingerie and sing sensual songs with lyrics about sex and fantasy. Prince had been wanting to mentor a girl singer or group since the late 70s when he saw the film A Star is Born with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.[citation needed]
The original trio recorded a few demos before Prince met Denise Matthews, a nude model and Canadian B movie actress, in January 1982. Prince was so taken by Matthews' charisma that he decided she would be the perfect frontwoman for his "Hookers" project. Around this time, Prince and Matthews began a romantic relationship that lasted months. With Matthews' arrival, Shoop was dropped from the group. Matthews was eventually re-christened Vanity. Prince had originally suggested that Matthews use the stage name "Vagina" (to be pronounced /vaginɑ/); she declined and renamed herself "Vanity" instead. Other versions of the story suggest that it was Prince himself who coined the name "Vanity", as he said that looking at Matthews was like looking in a mirror at the female version of himself.

Six college students from different universities around the country are selected to participate in Econo Air's annual, company program to compete for an internship. Each student has dire reasons why they need to land this position that comes long with pay and free tuition. For these reasons, and others- they cannot see the craziness that's going on all around them in the company.
Plot
When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world and into ours -- in fact, smack dab in the middle of Central Park. Just three apples high and stuck in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way to get back to their village before Gargamel tracks them down.

Stanley is a short order cook, infatuated with Margaret, the statuesque waitress who works at Wimpy Bar with him. Despondent, he prepares to end it all when he meets George Spiggott AKA the Devil. Selling his soul for 7 wishes, Stanley tries to make Margaret his own first as an intellectual, then as a rock star, then as a wealthy industrialist. As each fails, he becomes more aware of how empty his life had been and how much more he has to live for. He also meets the seven deadly sins who try and advise him.

To have and to hold, to satisfy your soul
An everlasting choice, a strong inner voice
Do you know that your dreams always come true?
Do you ever dream about me?
Dancer in the dark, made a last remark
Elegant and strong, I know where you belong
Do you know that you always shine a light?
Do you know that you're mine, all mine?
It's in the way that you move
You're my vanity
It's in the way that you smile
Sweet serenity
I didn't come here to beg
But I must surrender
I didn't come here to steal
But I'm your offender
To have and to hold, to satisfy your soul
An everlasting choice, a strong inner voice
Do you know that you always shine a light?
Do you know that you're mine, all mine?
It's in the way that you move
You're my vanity
It's in the way that you smile
Sweet serenity
I didn't come here to beg
But I must surrender
I didn't come here to steal
Oh, it's raining, it's pouring the old man is snoring
I'm inspired by the rain
It's raining, it's pouring the mirror man is snoring
I'm inspired by the rain again and again
I'm funny
Can't you see my knees are all diseased
So, I cover them
How I wish that I could look a lot like her
Can't you see that I can barely breath in this bubble of
Dreams that I could look a lot like her
Oh, it's raining it's pouring the lucky grave is snoring
I'm inspired by the rain
It's raining, it's pouring the millionaire is snoring
I'm inspired by the rain again and again
I'm ugly
Can't you see my hands are all diseased
So, I cover them
How I wish that I could be as rich as her
Can't you see I'm losing sleep over sobriety
Oh, how I wish that I could throw up my vanity
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me, is this fair at all!
Can't you see, I'm ugly
My knees are all diseased so, I cover them
How I wish that I could look a lot like you
Can't you see I'm losing sleep over sobriety
How I wish I could throw up my vanity
How I wish I could throw up my vanity
If yesterday was here I,
I could turn and face all my fears
When tomorrow calls my name I,
I won't be afraid
(Chorus:)
Change my name, I'm asking you
To take my fame, and wash it away
I'm all in my haze, waiting for you
To take my vanity, my vanity
As the joke goes on, oh
I realize that you, you see through me
And though I try to make believe,
I cannot hide, my identity
(Chorus)
Save you sorry shit for others
Shut your mouth and leave me be
You're standing lower on the ladder
A hundred steps behind of me
You're standing in the shallow water
When I've been washed out to sea
So don't you even bother
Speak that nonsense to my ear
[pre chorus]
Although you mourn today and shed a thousand tears
A smile will soon appear
Although you mourn today I know you'll laugh tomorrow
So let me drown in my sorrow
[chorus]
Wake up from you dream
Wake up and see reality
Wake up from your sleep
And see the martyrs bleed
Don't complain you've lost your fortune
To me who's never had a dime
And don't you brag about your actions
To me who's victim of you crime
Don't you cry about a blister
To me who's lost my entire life
Don't say: "I can not take it no longer"
When it's my wrist on the knife
[pre chorus]
[chorus]
Hysteria and dysphoria
Deep within my bleeding heart
Stranded by the hold of fear
Agony takes a final role
Sipping the dew of tears
Thorns and rites idols of false
Tearing apart the skin of lust
Forever still but never born
Broken by the final quest
Vanity, silent choir spreading lies
Vanity, fallen shrine of muted sighs
Surrender, dance and cry
Their Tormented eyes perceive
Grasps of fright, lusters crawl
Vanity vanity vanity yea yea yea
Vanity vanity vanity yea yea yea yea
In the winter, if you listen
You can hear my heart beating faster
It's another cold December
Feeling homesick, waiting for summer time
‘Cause you know I am lone haves
Vanity yea yea yea yea
Self destruction, self obsession
Vanity yea yea yea yea
Vanity vanity vanity yea yea yea
Vanity vanity vanity yea yea yea yea
After midnight, when I'm anxious
Close the room, is all closing in on me
You were always right beside me
Help in silence my insecurity
‘Cause you know I am lone haves
Vanity yea yea yea yea
Self destruction, self obsession
Vanity yea yea yea yea
Vanity vanity vanity yea yea yea
Vanity vanity vanity yea yea yea yea
‘Cause you know I am lone haves
Vanity yea yea yea yea
Self destruction, self obsession
Vanity yea yea yea yea
Vanity vanity vanity yea yea yea
Vanity vanity vanity yea yea yea yea
Vanity vanity vanity yea yea yea
I promise it comes with the guilt
How awesome is this narcissism?
You save your hard earnings to pay for these nigga's opinions
Now look at me, look at me
How much vanity do you see?
Now look at me, look at me
How much vanity do you see?
Now look at me, look at me
How much vanity do you see?
Now look at me, look at me
How much vanity do you see?
I said it ain't on me so I need more bottles
Okay these lames gon' see that I need more hotter
See I got it till 10 cause my T cost dollars
Swear my chain so big that it by my collar
Cold stunna,
Rose-gold for something
Concordes where the shit are these oceans 11's
Club jumping
And it's like I got a black heart
Ever since I swiped that black card
And I gave that shit with 10 deals
Let these niggas know we in the building
Because I spend these 7 bills
Tryna give me all their feelings
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
Now look at me, look at me
How much vanity do you see?
Now look at me, look at me
How much vanity do you see?
Now look at me, look at me
How much vanity do you see?
Now look at me, look at me
How much vanity do you see?
Now look at me, look at me,
How much vanity do you see?
Ya ain't pay up for no pussy but you pay for what she see
M.O.B., M.O.B.
Yes, as far as I can see
But these broads jocking me is validating my conceit
Obviously show you rare
Don't you wonder why she hit
Open bottles, open convos, open wallets, open legs
Open cleavage, open eyes, open wide, open thighs
Oh behave
My old school got more vroom than your new ride
Look at me, look at me
Now he creeping up the street
Got a thousand on that V, got you stunting on a G
Ran, damn, plan, scheme
Just to show you that he got it till they hot for that VI
Watch them plot it while they watching
Way before these bitches
Niggas dying over process,
Bitches dying for attention,
Niggas drop it just to plop em
Is it really that important, is it really that serious?
I'm curious, this really shit we livin for opinioners
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
Now look at me, look at me
How much vanity do you see?
Now look at me, look at me
How much vanity do you see?
Now look at me, look at me
How much vanity do you see?
Now look at me, look at me
How much vanity do you see?
We're fucking up the club now, club now
Don't stay on the Rose now, Rose now
They say how far we pulling in, pulling in
Watch me make me do me thing, do me thing
We're fucking up the club now, club now
Don't stay on the Rose now, Rose now
They say how far we pulling in, pulling in
Watch me make me do me thing, do me thing
Well we all need shelter somewhere inside
A little misdemeanour perhaps, well alright
Vanity, vanity, vanity
There's not a lot you can do, this is a small town UK
But a face in the mirror looks better that way
Vanity, vanity, vanity
Life can be so gray or do you like it that tame?
Magical, sinful, surgical oh! Happy days
Vanity, vanity, vanity
I heard it said conceit's a disease
Godstars, movie stars, it's all vanity
Vanity, vanity, vanity
Ah, ah! ah! I'm over the worst, I'm sure maybe!
Vanity, vanity, vanity
sometimes I wish it would never end
sometimes I wish I couldn't care
sometimes I feel like I'd never see you again
take a walk on an autumn night
inhale the stars and drown in their gleam
does it really take dying children
to see what makes the world go round?
sometimes I wish I could drown all them smiles and fears
...but as long as I can drown in my own
Vanity
feeling low again
insignificant
my thoughts and fears overcome my mind
I find that there's no easy way
to run from everything that's haunting me
I'm looking in the mirror for a smile
nothing is returned no matter how hard I try
could this be the last time I look in the mirror at all
will I say goodbye and throw it all away
or give it all to You
but I don't want to die
these tears that I cry
my pain is a child of my vanity
now it's sinking in
and I can't defend the broken man that I've become
I find there's nothing here that I made for myself and why
let it fall apart
again looking in the mirror for a smile
nothing is returned no matter how hard I try
could this be the last time I look for You at all
but what I can't see is what You see inside me

Verse 1
Now I hear they say its quiet before the storm
And it would be over, before you know it
There I can see a ray of light through the dark
So imma keep reaching and pushing no matter how far
If I had to choose one day to die, it would be never
Because I wanna live forever
A wise man once said everything is vanity
Said u can have everything, I just want immortality
We gotta get there (get there)
And I know that times are rough
We gotta get there (get there)
And I promise u I will never give up
We gotta get there (get there)
And there's nothing stronger than love
We gotta get there (get there)
If u fall I'll be there to pick u up
Chorus
Hold on and don't let go
Soon it will be over (soon it will be over)
Gotta be strong don't u fall
You can stand on my shoulders
You're my brother (and)
And we need each other (and I)
I just wanna live forever
And I know we can get there together
Verse 2
And now they say
The greatest man to ever walk the earth
Was barely accepted
Even by his own people rejected
So who are you and I
if we don't receive the same (can u tell me)
Tell me what's in a name (can u tell me)
What's in fortune and fame
I don't wanna go to heaven and I don't wanna die
I wanna live on earth forever
So I can tell my family I love them every night
See I can win a couple of grammy's and go platinum
But tell me when u gotta go does it really even matter
We gotta get there cause everything else is vanity
We gotta get there everything else is vanity
We gotta get there cause everything else is vanity
We gotta get there everything else is vanity
Chorus (2x)
Hold on and don't let go
Soon it will be over (soon it will be over)
Gotta be strong don't u fall
You can stand on my shoulders
You're my brother (and)
And we need each other (and I)
I just wanna live forever

I cannot speak of what I feel
And yet I feel so much
I know that woman's arms can heal me
Like an angel's touch
She says she likes the accent
She thinks it's so polite
I think she going to like it more
When we're alone tonight
She cannot speak of what she feels
And yet she feels so much
Except her lover's arms can heal her
Like an angel's touch
Money's money my little honey
A rich man's jokes are always funny
Build them walls but I'm coming through

Let me hear you scream
Whoa, oh
And the legacy lives on
Going strong
Let us not forget
Who owns the throne?
(Max)
Lying on my bed, thinking of my end...
Nothing, satisfies me, world's dead
I'll teach you everything that I know now, Eddie
If you really want to take the time
But don't expect to get answers to anything, Eddie
There is just one thing I've learned
Through everything that I've done and tried
Everything I have justified
It's all vanity, all vanity - we try to have control
It's all vanity, all vanity 'cause Chaos rules it all
I always drive like a madman, Eddie
But you'll soon get used to that
I believe if you're moving fast enough, Eddie
You don't ever have to watch your back
I choose solid ground to make my stands
I stay off the streets at closing time
It's all vanity, all vanity - we try to have control
It's all vanity, all vanity 'cause Chaos rules it all
Remember how it was out at Bunglass
We climbed up to the peak and stood against the rocks
The photographs came - you couldn't see us
We were lost against the mountains like specks of dust
And the mirror never lies, it's just these foolish eyes
And we all see what we want to see
What we need to see, what we have to see
And so will you do just the same one day, Eddie
I've been to that place a thousand times
Looked over the edge so many times
Wanted to jump a thousand times
Well we talk about saving the world now, Eddie
It's our vanity gone mad
She'll survive us all perfectly well
When we're all long buried and dead
Clever monkeys with technology
Barely out of the caves and the trees
It's all vanity, all vanity - we try to have control
It's all vanity, all vanity 'cause Chaos rules it all
Eddie now let it go . . .
I turn my head away from here
Down towards the rolling seas again
I kneel and worship where I can
I'll strike it if I don't like it
Gimme a club and I will have myself a riot
I'm a monkey with a brick on my shoulder
And I'm getting bolder
Let's deny and defame
Let's destroy and recreate in our glorious name
And when the joke of our centrality is upon us
Grovel and decry
Our vanity
Disgraced to face our own humanity
In a world that mocks our tragedy
Hyper-aware and impaired
Terrified by natures mocking stare
Yearning for significance beyond our animal ken
On which we do depend
Such vanity
Isolated with our own inanity
Entangled by our callow gravity
Midnight at the glamor show on a Sunday night
Everybody drink a lot of whiskey and wine
We dance like no tomorrow on we're on burlesque time
But everybody's gotta work tomorrow at nine
Touch me t-touch me baby
But don't mess up my hair
Love me l-love me crazy
But don't get too attached this is a brief affair
Vanity, pictures in magazines and movie screens
Vanity, labels and cameras, so many beauty queens
Vanity, it's so good to be
Fabulous and glamorous
We love ourselves and no one else
V-V-V-V-V-Vanity V-Vanity V-V-V-V-Vanity
Nothin's wrong with being just a little bit vain
We need a little pretty 'cause this country's insane
So go ahead and label me whatever you like
But nothin's quite as sexy as a woman is fine
Touch me t-touch me baby
But don't mess up my hair
Love me l-love me crazy
But don't get too attached this is a brief affair
Vanity, pictures in magazines and movie screens
Vanity, labels and cameras, so many beauty queens
Vanity, it's so good to be
Fabulous and glamorous
We love ourselves and no one else
Look at me
Whatcha lookin' at?
Look at me
Whatcha starin' at?
[X2]
I'm comin' around I'm sippin' on Andre, it's time
I heard the cuties in the back start in the p-party line
Let's dance, be proud, we're in the vanity house
We're covered in sequins, diamonds
We're happy 'cause we're shinin'
Touch me t-touch me baby
But don't mess up my hair
Love me l-love me crazy
But don't get too attached this is a brief affair
Vanity, pictures in magazines and movie screens
Vanity, labels and cameras, so many beauty queens
Vanity, it's so good to be
Fabulous and glamorous
We love ourselves and no one else
you can hear the baby bones
crack beneath her wheels
tears of avalon
streak silent down her shield
high crimes and misdemeanors
unfortunate attacks
will leave you standing nameless
while she's turning back
vanity stands naked at my door
vanity cries, why
Elenore you've lost me
in a haze of wine and cocaine
gone and cost me everything I blame
broadcast in tv detail
to call their own stories
as I try to recapture
our best in former glories
vanity stands naked at my door
vanity cries, why
vanity wants everything and more
vanity must die
she swears she'll turn around
turn around for good
she swears she'll turn around
turn around for sure
you'll know you'll run around
run around for her
you know you want it all so pure
he's on that dirt road
you've still got ways to go
soak in sights and city lights
while you still can borrow
curse fall will find you
and bring a memory
the ghost of her surrender
and a kiss of anarchy
she's naked at my door
vanity cries, why
vanity wants everything and more
vanity must die
die
die
You're fading from the naked eye
Summers leaving me cold
A failed attempt at nothing
Your silence as always poison
Forced in by your charms
Your breath laced with cyanide
Familiar slit wrist
Intimate with thoughts of loss
My head upon the table
You'll slice it open anyway
I feel so unsafe for now, for now
The yellow tinted suicide
A pointless problem unsolved
I'm falling into nothing
Sent into a spiral
This would seem so contrived
A feeling so inspired
A veil of guilt behind it
[Music: Mika, Rotten Sound]
[Lyrics: Keijo]
Can I be the most beautyfull?
Is there any room...
For a perfect person?
The loss of perfection!
Can we find the way...
To the completion?
The completion to fill up...
And enjoy!
The loss
Of perfection!
[lead: Juha]
Yeah!
I am the biggest one!
The best fucking...
Human being around!
The loss of perfection!
enter the scenery of love
lovers are in pain
they blame and pick on each other
you play melodies of love
forgotten phrases
tender and sweet
come a little bit closer
don't stay in the shadows my boy
(la la la la la la la)
the melody's fading.....
now or never, love will go
I'll be there by your side
share your fears in the silent redemption
touch my lips, hold me tight
live in vanity for a while
as winter melts in the sun
boys will be out running and reaching for the light
oh mother please find me in that place
before the memories tear us into pieces
clinging to affection, we somehow do learn to live
(la la la la la la la)
in endless motion
never coming back, love will go
you'll be there by my side
you may never know my devotion
feel my breath in the quiet night
live in vanity for ever
won't you feel my gentle emotion
let us live in peace with conviction
And I wonder?
Where do you get your inspiration?
Where do you find your motivation?
And what motivates me to hold your hand?
And I don't want you to see all these things I hide.
When you were holding my hand I didn't think I'd die.
And I wonder?
Why do you make that midnight drive-by?
When you left me out to hang dry?
Well this rope is tightening
and I don't want you to see all these things I hide.
When you were holding my hand I didn't think I'd die.
Yeah. Yeah.
You couldn't tell me that this was the best that you could do.
And now you've left me to hang here all alone.
And she waits for me.
In her Sunday dress laced with pink and white.
You shouldn't have shut me out.
When you're the one that changed your mind.
You could've change your mind.
While I was sitting here alone.
If you should die before you ask me. . . .how am I?
If you should die before you ask me. . . .for my life.
If you should die before you ask me. . . .if I'd die.
If I'd die with you.
She's innocent but she's got a gun yeah.
She'll hand it over and then she'll run yeah.
I'll pull the trigger. Yeah.
I'll pull the trigger. Yeah.
I'll shoot her up. Yeah.
I'll shoot her up bang.
I want you plastic perfection.
I want to see your vanity.
I want you sexy psychotic so I can see your lunacy.
And I wonder?
Where do you get your inspiration?
Where do you find your motivation?
And what motivates me to hold your hand?
Sweetness. . . This isn't working.
I thought the breath that you'd bring would give me life. Yeah.
And she's a mellow dramatic.
She that that I was romantic, but then the gun went off.
And now I've left you to bleed here all alone.
And I look so beautiful.
Wait, checking out the problem at hand
Is it time again?
Before the problem even began
And lend a helping hand
Against my intuition
And listen to me very carefully
It isn't a condition we learned
But we're given naturally
Defiant, don't buy it
A client of the system
And so they say, to get your way
Just stop and make em listen
Because
Destiny will be yours, and yours alone
I don't want to know the taste
When I throw a dog a bone
So, when I throw it up
I'll take it right back, and eat again
Posture mimics statuettes
Unfold for you
Choose my insecurities
When I show it all to
Posture mimics statuettes
Unfold for you
Choose my insecurities
When I show it all to you
Another sad sight
Walking the night
With a face like a gent
And the strut of a knife
Gimme life, is what he said
When the question was asked
In the past, he might have thought
The words he spoke were his last
So, when I throw it up
I'll take it right back, and eat again
Posture mimics statuettes
Unfold for you
Choose my insecurities
When I show it all to
Posture mimics statuettes
Unfold for you
Choose my insecurities
When I show it all to you
You've taught me vanity's appeal
I lied...
You've showed me exactly how to feel
It's all lies...
What your looking for is real
Posture mimics statuettes
Unfold for you
Choose my insecurities
When I show it all to
Posture mimics statuettes
Unfold for you
Choose my insecurities
Pictures of your vanity are thrown about
The house in which we live
And being part of growing older
Seems a good idea until we live
So wrapping in your winter time
You knew that you
Could never change your ways
So where do we go
And I say, baby
You might miss it when it goes
And baby
To me you're mighty like a rose
And I have seen this before
Crawling 'round your floor
Holding life in good intentions
We won't live the distance that we run
Watching everything you turn to
Love as it would burn into the sun
So where do we go
And I say, baby
You might miss it when it goes
And baby
To me you're mighty like a rose
And I have seen this before
Crawling 'round your floor
So where do we go
And I say, baby
You might miss it when it goes
And baby
When it's gone, oh, let it go
And baby
You won't need it anymore
? Cause baby
To me you're mighty like a rose
And I have seen this before
I cannot speak of what I feel
And yet I feel so much
I know that woman's arms can heal me
Like an angel's touch
She says she likes the accent
She thinks it's so polite
I think she going to like it more
When we're alone tonight
She cannot speak of what she feels
And yet she feels so much
Except her lover's arms can heal her
Like an angel's touch
Money's money, my little honey
A rich man's jokes are always funny
Build them walls but I'm coming through
Don't trouble, trouble till it troubles you
Money's money, my little honey
A rich man's jokes are always funny
Ring came off in heights of passion
Wear it now and that's not fashion
You open up your heart, heart behold
Another door slams shut
And tongues are not of steel
No more can I take this false pretense
You are everything but nothing to me
Holding the hand of a liar
This is a fucking disaster
Misrepresentation becomes an obsession
As your words are so far from the truth
All hell will reign down upon us
As you move mountains with your words
You looked at me with your withered eyes
That guides this empty being inside of you
Inside of you lies nothing but vanity
This obsession you have with yourself
I don't think you realize
It's only skin deep
How can you look down at me?
When you don't even know me?
How can you look down at me?
When you don't even know me?
Misrepresentation becomes an obsession
As your words are so far from the truth
All hell will reign down upon us
As you move mountains with your words
You looked at me with your withered eyes
That guides this empty being inside of you
It's nothing but vanity
How can you look down at me?
When you don't even know me?
How can you look down at me?
When you don't even know me?
I see nothing but a coward that has no ethics
You live in a world of your own make believe
You live in a world of your own make believe
In a world of your own make believe
Nothing but a coward
Maybelline Queens with plastic faces.
Modeling their hips and their lips.
Bleed yourselves again
'cause your beauty is only skin deep.
Following your cold surroundings.
It's all you have
Holding on
Holding on
To nothing.
A hole you have. In your heart
It needs heart, it needs something
Wrapped up in your vanity.
Put on your mask every morning
Scrape it off at the end of a long, long day
Maybelline Queens with plastic faces.
Modeling their hips and their lips.
It's all you have
Holding on
Holding on
To nothing.
A hole you have. In your heart
Vanity
[Verse 1]
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the prettiest of all
I'm feeling pure in my couture
Whatcha driving what's it cost?
When I'm strutting do they talk?
Mirror mirror on the wall
Oh Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent
Gucci, Prada, Pucci, Ford
So Marc Jacobs, so Dior
[Chorus]
Vanity my favorite sin
The glamorous the rich the thin
Fashionista flaunt your trend
Vanity get's you again
Vanity my favorite sin
The glamorous the rich the thin
Fashionista flaunt your trend
Vanity get's you again
[Verse 2]
Flick your hair from side to side
Spend a fortune on your pride
But when you dig down deep inside?
Make em jealous make em seeth
Tell yourself "they envy me"
When your all alone you'll see
If they really care
[Chorus]
Vanity my favorite sin
The glamorous the rich the thin
Fashionista flaunt your trend
Vanity get's you again
Vanity my favorite sin
The glamorous the rich the thin
Fashionista flaunt your trend
Vanity get's you again
[Bridge]
I don't care I don't care I don't care what they think
Cause in the end I just have me
And what really matters
Is that I'm avant-garde, spectacular, I'm grandiose and
fabulous
Oh Chanel, Louis Vitton, Givenchy, Yves San Laurent
Gucci, Prada, Pucci, Ford
So Marc Jacobs, so Dior
Oh Chanel, Louis Vitton, Givenchy, Yves San Laurent
Gucci, Prada, Pucci, Ford
So Marc Jacobs, so Dior
[Chorus]
Vanity my favorite sin
The glamorous the rich the thin
Fashionista flaunt your trend
Vanity get's you again
Vanity my favorite sin
The glamorous the rich the thin
Fashionista flaunt your trend
Vanity get's you again
[End]
Oh Chanel, Louis Vitton, Givenchy, Yves San Laurent

I'll teach you everything that I know now, Eddie
If you really want to take the time
But don't expect to get answers to anything, Eddie
There is just one thing I've learned
Through everything that I've done and tried
Everything I have justified
It's all vanity, all vanity, we try to have control
It's all vanity, all vanity, 'cause chaos rules it all
I always drive like a madman, Eddie
But you'll soon get used to that
I believe if you're moving fast enough, Eddie
You don't ever have to watch your back
I choose solid ground to make my stands
And stay off the streets at closing time
It's all vanity, all vanity, we try to have control
It's all vanity, 'cause chaos rules it all
Remember how it was out at [Incomprehensible]
We climbed up to the peak and stood against the rocks
The photographs came, you couldn't see us
We were lost against the mountains like specks of dust
And the mirror never lies, it's just these foolish eyes
And we all see what we want to see
What we need to see, what we have to see
And so will you do just the same thing one day, Eddie
I've been to that place a thousand times
Looked over the edge so many times
Wanted to jump a thousand times
Well, we talk about saving the world now, Eddie
It's our vanity gone mad
She'll survive us all perfectly well
When we're all long buried and dead
Clever monkeys with technology
Barely out of the caves and the trees
It's all vanity, all vanity, we try to have control
It's all vanity, vanity, 'cause chaos rules it all
(It's all vanity, all vanity)
Eddie, now let it go
It's all vanity, all vanity, all vanity
I turn my head away from here
Down towards the rolling seas again
I kneel and worship where I can
The ground comes swirling up and through these veins
(K. Green)
Oh, it's raining, it's pouring the old man is snoring
I'm inspired by the rain
It's raining, it's pouring the mirror man is snoring
I'm inspired by the rain again and again
I'm funny
Can't you see my knees are all diseased
So, I cover them
How I wish that I could look a lot like her
Can't you see that I can barely breath in this bubble of
dreams that I could look a lot like her
Oh, it's raining its pouring the lucky grave is snoring
I'm inspired by the rain
It's raining, its pouring the millionaire is snoring
I'm inspired by the rain again and again
I'm ugly
Can't you see my hands are all diseased
So, I cover them
How I wish that I could be as rich as her
Can't you see I'm losing sleep over sobriety
Oh, how I wish that I could throw up my vanity
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me, is this fair at all?!
Can't you see, I'm ugly
My knees are all diseased so, I cover them
How I wish that I could look a lot like you
Can't you see I'm losing sleep over sobriety
How I wish I could throw up my vanity
How I wish I could throw up my vanity
How I wish I could throw up my vanity

Vanity vanity…you’re stretching my insanity sanity
Ohh vanity vanity…you’re stretching my insanity sanity
Birds stand in line just a time I can suppose I’m close
The person that defines my allegiance to control the flow
Twisted stage lining
Searching never finding
But we try again…
Vanity vanity…you’re stretching my insanity sanity
Ohh vanity vanity…you’re stretching my insanity sanity
Arrive just in time but you always miss the show, let go
When winter makes you cry by the by you’re all alone, you know
Cringing chastising
Feel my love dying
Here we go again…
Vanity vanity…you’re stretching my insanity sanity
Ohh vanity vanity…you’re stretching my insanity sanity
If I changed at all, it’s not exactly what I meant
I’ve got pain to solve, and it’s taking over me
If I missed the call, I never knew what I could give
I’ve got pain to solve, and it’s taking all my years
Vanity vanity…you’re stretching my insanity sanity
