The 'In' Crowd
In with the Beat: Bryan Ferry's Stylish 'In' Crowd Revelry
Lyrics
I'm in with the "in" crowd
I am part of the popular or fashionable group.
I go where the "in" crowd goes.
I go to the places that the popular group frequents.
I'm in with the "in" crowd
Reiteration of being part of the popular group.
And I know what the "in" crowd knows.
I understand the secrets or trends known to the popular group.
Any time of the year
Indication that being part of the popular group is relevant at any time.
Don't you hear?
Questioning if the listener is aware of the significance.
Dressin' fine
Dressing well and presenting oneself in a stylish manner.
Makin' time
Making the most of one's time, possibly in social situations.
We breeze up and down the street.
Confidently moving around the town or area.
We get respect from the people we meet
Earning admiration and acknowledgment from people encountered.
They make way day or night.
Others make way for the popular group day or night.
They know the "in" crowd is out of sight.
Acknowledging that the "in" crowd is exceptional.
I'm in with the "in" crowd
Emphasizing continued membership in the popular group.
I know every latest dance.
Claiming knowledge of the latest dance trends.
When you're in with the "in" crowd
Highlighting the ease of finding romance when part of the popular group.
It's easy to find romance.
Emphasizing the importance of being where the music is lively.
At a spot where the beat's really hot.
Avoiding places that are not trendy or cool.
If it's square we ain't there.
Every moment is utilized efficiently.
We make every minute count.
Ensuring that the share or experience is always the best.
Our share is always the biggest amount.
Acknowledging imitation by others but asserting originality.
Other guys imitate us
Claiming superiority as the original members of the popular group.
But the original's still the greatest.
Reaffirming the greatness of the original members.
We got our own way of walkin'
Stating a unique and distinctive way of walking.
We got our own way of talkin'
Asserting a unique way of communicating.
Any time of the year
Reiteration of being part of the popular group at any time.
Don't you hear?
Questioning if the listener is aware of the significance (repeated).
Spendin' cash
Spending money confidently and speaking confidently.
Talkin' trash.
Engaging in lively and bold conversations.
Girl
Referring to a female and promising an enjoyable time.
I'll show you a real good time.
Inviting the female listener to have a good time.
Come on with me and leave your troubles behind
Encouraging the listener to leave behind any worries.
I don't care where you've been
Expressing indifference to the listener's past experiences.
You ain't been nowhere till you been in -
Asserting that true experiences only happen within the popular group.
With the "in" crowd.
Final confirmation of the significance of being in the "in" crowd.
