She’s Electric Lyrics
She's electric
She's in a family full of eccentrics
She's done things I've never expected
And I need more time
She's got a sister
And God only knows how I've missed her
And on the palm of her hand is a blister
And I need more time
[Chorus]
And I want you to know
I've got my mind made up now (Mind made up now)
But I need more time
And I want you to say
"Do you know what I'm sayin'?" (What I'm sayin')
But I need more
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'll be you and you'll be me
There's lots and lots for us to see
Lots and lots for us to do
She is electric, can I be electric too?
[Guitar Solo]
She's got a brother (Got a brother)
We don't get on with one another
But I quite fancy her mother
And I think that she likes me
She's got a cousin (Got a cousin)
In fact she's got 'bout a dozen ('Bout a dozen)
She's got one in the oven (In the oven)
But it's nothing to do with me
[Chorus]
And I want you to know
I've got my mind made up now (Mind made up now)
But I need more time
And I want you to say
"Do you know what I'm sayin'?" (What I'm sayin')
But I need more
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'll be you and you'll be me
There's lots and lots for us to see
There's lots and lots for us to do
She is electric, can I be electric too?
[Outro]
Can I be electric too?
Can I be electric too?
Can I be electric too?
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
About
“She’s Electric” is a playful ditty, somewhat reminiscent of “Oh Yoko!” The story is based around an extraordinary girl Gallagher is torn about committing to. Much of the song consists of two line rhyming couplets about her family members, and at the end, it is revealed that the girl is pregnant by another man, suggesting that their relationship may be just as casual as the song itself.

It was the first song I wrote for [Morning Glory]. Someone asked me if it was about Blur but it’s not. It’s like a Small Faces song or something by The Kinks.
and (to Select Magazine):
It’s about a boy who’s got a girlfriend, and he used to go out with her sister, that he fancies her mother, doesn’t get on with her brother, and, as somebody gets her cousin, pregnant, and everybody thinks it was him, because he’s a bit of a f—in' run c—, but it wasn’t. It’s not a true story. Is it a true story? I’m saying f–k-all me.
