Payolas Some Old Song
Ye came up from the underground
When the guitar heroes came through town
To rub some magic off on you
And the local boys of minor fame
Laughed to themselves 'cos they'd played your game
And all the stories they were true
Ye melted into him, he was your rocker's dream
Clung to him like some disease
Said "I won't tell anyone if it's not quite right
Put your ego on tilt for another night"
He said "I'm the spotlight, you're the crowd
I like to hear my name out loud"
But you slowly lost your love 'cos the money ran out
Ye didn't say "Goodbye"
Just took a one way train out of
Some old song a fool would sing
Some old song where the telephone rings
And a girl says "Johnny, I love you so
Gonna hold on tight and nevr let go"
So ye changed your personality
And and ye changed your old clothes
Took ye bag of nerves
Zipped ye mouth with a smile
Said "I'm going for the sky on these broken wings"
Pick a name from a hat
I wanna be like that
Now you're the prima donna of the champagne scene
And none of them rich boys know where you've been
And ye think it's all forgotten till that record comes on
Then ye memory snags ye, kicks and drags ye
Some old song...etc....
