Momus Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous
I'm sorry. I didn't seem important. I was wrong
Photographs by the paparazzi
Joy rides in his Maserati
Invites from every arty fashion victim
To every warehouse party
I'm not blind I've seen you shine
When he's around
And I've watched all your desire
With fascination
Watched its satisfaction
And lying alone in bed I've read the book he sent us
'The Rules of Attraction' by Bret Easton Ellis
Fame, power, the love of women
I'm wrong the world is right
Stock, Aitken and Waterman
Margaret Thatcher and Sigmund
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
When you're up everybody wants your babies
And where we lived could've been bigger
And what I earned a much higher figure
That didn't seem important - I'm a little disappointed
But I'm trying not to get bitter
I'm not blind, I've seen you shine
When he's around
And I've watched all your desire
With fascination
Watched its satisfaction
And lying alone I've read 'Success' by Martin Amis
And 'The Rules of Attraction' by Bret Easton Ellis
Fame, power, the love of women
I'm wrong the world is right
Stock, Aitken and Waterman
Margaret Thatcher and Sigmund
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
When you're up everybody wants your babies
Goodbye to the 1980s
