Billy Bragg - That's Entertainment lyrics
Your rating:
A police car, a screaming siren Pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete A baby wailing, a stray dog howling The screech of brakes and lamplight blinking That's entertainment That's entertainment A smash of glass and the rumble of boots Electric train and a ripped up phone booth Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tom cat Lights going out and a kick in the balls I said, "That's entertainment That's entertainment" Days of speed and slow time Mondays Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday Watching the news and not eating your tea Freezing cold flat and death on the walls I said, "That's entertainment That's entertainment" Waking up at 6 A.M. on a cool morning Opening the windows and breathing in petrol Amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard Watching the telly and thinking 'bout your holidays That's entertainment That's entertainment Waking up from bad news and smoking cigarettes Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume Hot summers day and sticky black tarmac Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away That's entertainment That's entertainment Two lovers kissing at the scream of midnight Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude Getting a cab and traveling on buses Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs I said, "That's entertainment That's entertainment"
