There's entertainment news on the hotel tv
|
They run it for 24 hours
|
Where stars discuss celebrity
|
And celebrities talk about stars
|
And who's having who on so and so's set
|
The lifestyles of the rich and useless
|
From Queen Julia down to King Kong
|
They got everybody singing that song
|
But everybody's got it wrong
|
|
It makes me stutter, makes me stammer
|
So let's fly it high
|
The Star-Struck Banner
|
Here's how it works and here's a spanner
|
Stick It In!
|
|
I know that woman and she can't act
|
And I know who bought her breasts
|
Once she wanted to get to grips with me
|
Now she can't get me off her chest
|
I saw the photos of their wedding day
|
Now she's another gay divorcee
|
Well, they can blame it on the media but I'm not buying
|
All their crocodile tears or their wolf crying
|
If you get it and you don't want it
|
Then you're not trying
|
|
It makes me stutter, makes me stammer
|
So let's fly it high
|
The Star-Struck Banner
|
Here's how it works and here's a spanner
|
Stick It In!
|
|
I read the papers, looking for the news
|
All I see is excuses for irrelevance
|
If you thought no-one was dying then you'd be excused
|
It's an insult to the unintelligent
|
(I burned bright for ten minutes one night
|
With a girl who had a bit part in ... who cares?
|
But my hard work failed when she checked my sales
|
And threw me down the stairs)
|
|
Me, I'm just an armchair outlaw
|
Trying to make ends meet
|
But when I try a little psycho maths
|
Well it knocks me off my feet
|
I've heard there's no Gods left anymore
|
So what do we wanna make these new ones for?
|
We'll just say our prayers like we know we should
|
Get on our knees and pray to Holywood
|
But it ain't gonna do us no good
|
|
It makes me stutter, makes me stammer
|
So let's fly it high
|
The Star-Struck Banner
|
Here's how it works and here's a spanner
|
Stick It In!
