John Entwistle - Success Story lyrics
Your rating:
Friday night, I'm on my way home They oughtta make work a crime I'm home for the weekend Gonna make the most of my time There's a rock and roll singer On the television Givin' up his music, gonna take up religion Abandoned rock and roll to try to save his soul Saturday night, got a gig with the band Playin' the electric guitar Someday, I'm gonna make it Gonna be a super-duper star Buy a big flashy car And a house for my ma The big break better happen soon Cuz I'm pushin' twenty-one Just like Cinderella, when she couldn't go to the ball (a voice said), “I'm your fairy manager, you shall play Carnegie Hall.†Gotta give up your day job To become a heart throb I may go far If I smash my guitar Away for the weekend, I gotta play some one-night stands Six for the taxman and one for the band Back in the studio to make our latest number one Take 276, you know this used to be fun... Sunday mornin', I just got home Six and the birds are singin' I need a drink, and my clothes are wet Ooh and my ears are still ringin' There's a rock and roll singer Boppin' on the TV He used to be a preacher But now he sings in a major key Amended his decision to the new religion
