Here today |
|
Gone this afternoon |
|
Another tune |
|
We almost remember |
|
What's the story |
|
Sex and drugs again |
|
Business as usual |
|
The clock's already ticking |
|
La la la la |
|
When he was young |
|
Staring at the tv |
|
He watched the fun |
|
Happen to other people |
|
Now they scream |
|
As they run after him |
|
Like a dream |
|
Like elvis and the beatles |
|
A three minute song is all he wrote |
|
He only did it for a joke |
|
They played him on the radio |
|
From tokyo to timbuktu |
|
A three minute boy, ain't that somethin? |
|
They named their children after him |
|
The good times rolled beneath his feet |
|
He skipped along the one-way street |
|
She's a pretty girl |
|
She don't know how it started |
|
She made a movie |
|
He almost remembered |
|
She measured up |
|
They moved into a basement |
|
"we're so in love!" |
|
They giggled to the nation |
|
La la la la |
|
Three minute millionaire they said |
|
The numbers rattled round his head |
|
They spun him three times round the globe |
|
She waited patiently at home |
|
And all the pretty girls wanted him |
|
In places that he'd never been |
|
Too much love will do you in |
|
Forgive forgive forgive forgive |
|
Yeah yeah ooo |
|
Three minute kid is here again |
|
Surrounded by three minute friends |
|
He found someone to understand |
|
To shock the world and hold his hand |
|
No religion, no restraint |
|
No direction, no complaints |
|
No future and no way out |
|
No time now to think about it |
|
All the moneys gone |
|
He don't know what they spent it on |
|
Girlfriends gone off with the jag |
|
Gone back to her mum and dad |
|
He's curled up on the studio floor |
|
He just can't do it anymore |
|
The flashgun went off without warning |
|
He'll read about it tomorrow morning... |
|
(she's goin' out with someone "new" |
|
In this week at number two |
|
Three minute boy ain't that somethin.) |
