The Auteurs was a British alternative rock band of the 1990s.
Unfairly dismissed as the egotrip of acclaimed songwriter Luke Haines, The Auteurs were one of the unsung bands of the mid-nineties Britpop movement. Releasing their first record, New Wave, in 1993, the Auteurs were compared to Suede, and the resurgent glam-rock movement, and began to amass a reasonable cult following. 1994's second album, and commercial highlight, Now I'm A Cowboy, saw the band embracing at times a more contemporary sound

SHOWGIRL
by Luke Haines (The Auteurs) >From the album New Wave
(Intro: Same chords as for the verse)
AAbmC#m I took a showgirl for my bride (Silent) AAbmF#mD Thought my life would be right AAbmC#m Took her bowling got her high F#mB Got myself a showgirl bride
Took a job on the side In a health shop keeps me well Got my mantra for life Got my karma And a showgirl bride
BmAE All my life DAE All her life BmAE All our life DD/C#E I married a showgirl that's for life DD/C#E I married a showgirl that's for life
She can't work in the wintertime I can't work anytime now Go to libraries all the while Looking for a notice Bide my time
All my life All her life All our life I married a showgirl that's for life I married a showgirl that's for life
I took a showgirl for my bride (Silence) Sprinkled stardust on my wife Took her bowling got her high Got myself a showgirl bride Got myself a showgirl bride (Just keep on playing F#m B...) Don't you recognize us? Don't you recognize us?
