Lyrics

Back... Further back....
Janine, just 19, joined a pyramid scheme, didn't think it mean
To inflate her estate, left it too late, broke her dreams
Broke her friends, who said, "Courtesy is dead"
And now a piece of Vambra is looking like Turana
She's banking on the fee, she'll get from ITV
Rethink, refrain, don't pull a Jill, Jane
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Kyle, frozen smile, got himself a mobile, got a house
One wrinkle, couldn't get a signal
Pretty fast put a mast on the neighboring flats
A little girl called Jill will become very ill
But that is years away, so who gives a hey
Rethink, refrain, don't pull a Jill, Jane
Amateur, amateur, amateur
Five-star review who bought a new LP
Had to agree with the critic really dug my lyric
Tolerate all the people you hate
When they walk all over you, ah, baby, what you gonna do
Get a Corinthian view wear the pink and blue, ooh
Rethink, refrain, don't pull a Jill, Jane
Amateur, amateur
Rethink, refrain, don't pull a Jill, Jane
Amateur, amateur
Rethink, refrain, don't pull a Jill, Jane
Amateur, amateur, amateur
