Idol |
He was a light star |
Tripping on a high wire |
Bulldog stubborn |
Born uneven |
A classless creature |
A man for all seasons |
But don’t bet them |
They can’t take him |
To the very bottom |
Because they made him |
And they’ll waste him |
And I don’t believe |
That I want to watch them |
'Cause the fifties shifted out of gear |
He was an idol then |
Now he’s an idol here |
But his face has changed |
Oh he’s not the same no more |
And I have to say |
That I like the way his music sounded before |
He was tight-assed |
Walking on broken glass |
Highly prized in the wallet size |
The number one crush |
In a schoolgirl’s eyes |
But don’t pretend |
That it won’t end |
In the depth of your despair |
You went from lame suits |
Right down to tennis shoes |
To peanuts |
From the lion’s share |
'Cause the fifties shifted out of gear |
He was an idol then |
Now he’s an idol here |
But his face has changed |
Oh he’s not the same no more |
And I have to say |
That I like the way his music sounded before |
