about
Many a star has fallen
lyrics
It’s all about the singer not about the song
But it doesn’t really matter cos they won’t be round for long
Making music to create an atmosphere
Pre-Programmed sample loops made by clever engineers
It's all about the image not the tune,
You get to wear designer clothes and lounge about, all afternoon
While the cameras capture all of your delights,
And blemishes are photoshopped to make you look just right
Forgotten by tomorrow, so enjoy your month of fame,
Disposable celebrity, society takes the blame,
They love you and adore you, you're this seasons greatest draw
Downloaded and revered online, then discarded as you fall
Play me a melody, oh play a good song
Where the words are the remedy and the chords move my soul
It's all about the singer not the song,
A taste of good life, thats when it all goes wrong
While the next celebrity is being made,
The last trend is discarded and celebrity will fade
Forgotten by tomorrow, so enjoy your month of fame,
Disposable celebrity, society takes the blame,
They love you and adore you, you're this seasons greatest draw
Downloaded and revered online, then discarded as you fall
They can make you sound great, with awesome pitch control
But your lyrics, suck my friend coz they got no fuckin' soul
So dance around you moron, and pretend it's rock 'n' roll
But it ain't
So share it with your family and your friends, how you became a star and how the story ends
You thought you had the whole world at your feet, but no-one recognises you as you walk along the street,
Forgotten by tomorrow, so enjoy your month of fame,
Disposable celebrity, society takes the blame,
They love you and adore you, you're this seasons greatest draw
Downloaded and revered online, then discarded as you fall
Play me a melody, oh play a good song
Where the words are the remedy and the chords move my soul
Reprise
Play me a melody, oh play a good song
Where the words are the remedy and the chords move my soul
But it doesn’t really matter cos they won’t be round for long
Making music to create an atmosphere
Pre-Programmed sample loops made by clever engineers
It's all about the image not the tune,
You get to wear designer clothes and lounge about, all afternoon
While the cameras capture all of your delights,
And blemishes are photoshopped to make you look just right
Forgotten by tomorrow, so enjoy your month of fame,
Disposable celebrity, society takes the blame,
They love you and adore you, you're this seasons greatest draw
Downloaded and revered online, then discarded as you fall
Play me a melody, oh play a good song
Where the words are the remedy and the chords move my soul
It's all about the singer not the song,
A taste of good life, thats when it all goes wrong

Play me a melody, oh play a good song
Where the words are the remedy and the chords move my soul
