There's no point in asking, you'll get no reply.
I just steam in but
I don't decide.
I got no reason,
It's all too much.
You'll always find us,
Out to lunch!
Oh we're so pretty, Oh so pretty,
We're Vacant!
Oh we're so pretty, Oh so pretty,
We're Vacant
Don't ask us to attend 'cos we're not all there
Oh don't pretend 'cos I don't care,
I don't believe illusions 'cos too much is real,
So stop your cheap comment.
'cos we know what we feel!
Oh we're so pretty, Oh so pretty,
We're Vacant!
Oh we're so pretty, Oh so pretty,
We're Vacant!
Oh we're so pretty, Oh so pretty.
And Now..
And We Don't Care!
There's no point in asking you'll get no reply.

(We're Out of Luch)?
Oh we're so pretty, Oh so pretty,
We're Vacant!
Oh we're so pretty, Oh so pretty,
We're Vacant!
Oh we're so pretty, Oh so pretty.
And Now..
And We Don't Care!
We're Pretty, Pretty Vacant! (X4)
And We Don't Care

Lady Sovereign's 'Pretty Vacant' stands as a defining track of the mid-2000s hip-hop and electronic fusion scene. Released under her solo moniker, the song blends gritty, sample-based production with her distinctive vocal delivery, creating a sound that bridges the gap between underground rap and dance music. The track exemplifies her ability to craft atmospheric soundscapes that prioritize mood and rhythm over traditional lyrical structures, a hallmark of her discography.

As a staple of her catalog, the song remains a reference point for artists exploring the intersection of electronic beats and spoken-word performance.
