lyrics

v1
It’s time to sign the dotted line - you’ve just enough street cred
You got songs for all occasions and you sing what’s needing said
Don’t worry about your earnings - they’re safe underneath the bed
In the mattress like you asked us (minus ninety-five percent)

v2
Mister Sullivan was wondering could you tone the language down?
Change the meaning of the lyrics - choose a more appealing sound
Jump through the hoops provided - balance biscuits on your nose
Maybe wear a shiny costume instead of normal clothes

v3
Yes sir, there’s fearsome competition, you best do as we say
Swallowing scare tactics - the order of the day
Have all the rivals fighting for their moment in the sun
Count the votes and send ‘em all into oblivion

v4
The wannabe celebrities are aching for a break
They’ll do anything to get there though their dignity’s at stake
There’s nothing I would buy from them or even take for free
They're just a bunch of puppets but that’s show business baby

v5
Mister One Hundred Million - I know you’re a busy man
But I booked the Albert Hall - can you help me with my plan?
Do you see that grand piano on the stage - as is the norm?
Well you’re so goddamn special – get out there and perform!
