Story Behind The Song
Eric says: I almost immediately knew exactly what I wanted to do with Jaguar. Not much has changed from the way it sounded at our first show, really. Everybody likes it and it?s very accessible. In retrospect, though, we should?ve called it ?Jaguar Shark?
Song Description
Simon says: I set out to write a song that would show Americans how to pronounce the word Jaguar - as in the British car... I'm glad along the way I could shed light on the love/hate relationship we all have with those young, sexy, underdressed rich girls

Lyrics
Jaguar
You?re not the bad girl
That you think you are
You?re just a fucked-up girl
Who drives her daddy?s car
Who drives a Jaguar
You?re telling me love?s overrated
In a way you'd rather be hated
And you live your life sedated
To forget those jerks you dated
Oh-woah
You?re not the bad girl
That you think you are
You?re just a fucked-up girl
Who drives her daddy?s car
Who drives a Jaguar
You?re a working girl for a reason
You commit an act of treason
With your clothes guaranteed to please ?em
A label-whore designed to tease ?em
Woah-oh
You?re not the bad girl
That you think you are
You?re just a fucked-up girl
Who drives her daddy?s car
Who drives a Jaguar
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know,
That you feel in pain
That you feel insane
When you?re all alone
?Cos I do too, I do too, I do too, I do too
In a constant search for pleasure
You forgot where you buried your treasure
They say you?ll never crack under pressure
But your smile?s a sweet empty gesture
Woah-woah-oo-oh
You?re not the bad girl
That you think you are
You?re just a fucked-up girl
Who drives her daddy?s car
Who drives a Jaguar
My mind is suddenly reeling
?Cos you said you?re having this feeling
Like a wound that?s gradually healing
And now your heart is mine for the stealing
Woah-woah-oo-oh
You?re not the fucked-up girl
That I said you are
You?re just a sad girl
Who drives her daddy?s car
Who drives a Jaguar
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know,
That you feel in pain
That you feel insane
When you?re all alone
?Cos I do too, I do too, I do too, I do too
Oh, yeah
