lyrics

D-Lister (Fame)

Round and round the world they go
They’re looking for some boys and girls
They’re going to make you
House you, feed you, re-create you
Doesn’t matter if you can’t sing
You’re going to be the latest thing
Your dance routines
Get copied by the nation’s pre-teens
Don’t worry you’ve got nothing to say
Another cover version is on its way

You’re in the morning papers – what can you do?
You’re on the radio – what can you do?
You’re on the television – what can you do?
It’s a mystery to me

Another round of failed auditions
Desperate for recognition
You’re getting nowhere
The scrap-heap’s getting ever closer
Nothing reeks like failed ambition
Get to grips with your frustration
The London scene
A place where you can see and be seen
Hitch a ride with a rising star
It’s the only way that you’ll get far

There’s a fly upon your wall
Watching you to show us all
A life that’s real
What you think and how you feel
Enjoy it now it won’t last long
Your fifteen minutes have come and gone
The emptiness
Sit back – enjoy the loneliness
No one seems to care at all
Now you’re not famous anymore

You were in the morning papers – what could you do?
You were on the radio – what could you do?
You were on the television – what could you do?
It was a mystery to me

about

Slow Faction image

Slow Faction London, UK

“Slow Faction is a 1st generation-influenced punk band with a real London 77 sound. The aim of Slow Faction is simple – to make the music they want to hear; politically-charged songs with big hooks and choruses, reminiscent of the 1st wave of British punk. Slow Faction’s live sound has been described as a cross between The Clash and The Buzzcocks.” ... more
