Lyrics Tragic Alter Ego -

Tragic Alter Ego

Just play the hits from 71 to 79
Learn all moves and get the solos down just fine
Come change your hair and don’t you dare, put down that cake
You gotta look the part and you’re getting overweight
You started out with posters on the wall
You wanna be so like him, he seemed to have it all
Now the repetition’s driving you insane
You’re just a tragic alter-ego, play the game
Got to be note perfect, you can’t improvise
Show they want to see pays for your car outside
You’re locked into the classics, there’s no album tracks
All the punters, they would never want you back
You play the greatest hits a million times (a million times)
Started each performance memorizing every line (memorizing every line)
But the repetition’s driving you insane (insane)
You’re just a tragic alter-ego, play the game (play the game)
Oh you’re even travelling in separate cars these days
That is the done thing, must copy all his ways
Fill in those wrinkles, we’ve got botox for the cracks
(Getting hard to turn the old clock back)
(Getting hard to turn the old clock back)
You started out with posters on the wall
You wanna be so like him, he seemed to have it all
Now this repetition’s driving me insane
I’m just a tragic alter-ego (tragic alter-ego)
Tragic alter-ego
I’ve gotta learn to play the game…
