Forgive me if I'm out of order |
|
This new music has no soul |
|
It may be good for making money |
|
Sadly that is not my goal |
|
Integrity and honesty |
|
Are words that you don't understand |
|
But you're the best |
|
It says so in the Penny Dreadful in your hand |
|
I saw you in a magazine |
|
They're calling you Messiah |
|
They must be living in a dream |
|
They couldn't be more wrong |
|
"Oh, if we'd played this riff more punk |
|
Than may be we'd have had a million-seller" |
|
But this piper's tune is not for sale |
|
I'm glad to say I'm not that kind of fella |
|
DJ's, VJ's, pimps and trollops |
|
Never mind music, this is bollocks |
|
I saw you in a magazine |
|
They're calling you Messiah |
|
They must be living in a dream |
|
They couldn't be more wrong |
|
Turn on! Tune up! |
|
Cash in! Sell out! |
|
Stand your ground behind the times |
|
And refuse to follow fashion |
|
Write your poetry with anger |
|
And then sing it with a passion |
|
Painted faces in a circus |
|
Images that spring to mind, |
|
When I read my Penny Dreadful |
|
Filled with pictures of your kind |
|
I saw you in a magazine |
|
They're calling you Messiah |
|
They must be living in a dream |
|
They couldn't be more wrong |
|
Commercial suicide's appealing |
|
After 10 years on this losing streak |
|
'cause I'd rather be called sour and bitter |
|
Than be deemed the flavour of the week |
|
I saw you in a magazine |
|
They're calling you Messiah |
|
They must be living in a dream |
|
They couldn't be more wrong |
|
(Extra, extra, read all about it!) |
|
I saw you in a magazine |
|
They're calling you Messiah |
|
They must be living in a dream |
|
They couldn't be more wrong |
