Fifteen Minutes Lyrics - Singles - Maccoll Kirsty

(Kirsty MacColl) 

Seven times in seven days 

I've sat and wished my life away 

I know the greyness comes and goes 

But the sun don't shine 

And the snow don't snow 

There's Suzy-Ann with her tits and curls 

Where mediocrity excels 

For those vicious boys and their boring girls 

You know it makes me sick but it's a bozo's world 

Then there's always the cash 

Selling yourself for some trash 

Smiling at people that you cannot stand 

You're in demand 

Your fifteen minutes start now 

City banker looks are in 

The heartless heart, the chinless chin 

And you'd spill your beans for just a pint of gin 

How you got so holy 

And became so thin 

In Sunday papers every week 

The silly words you love to speak 

The tacky photos and the phoney smiles 

Well it's a bozo's world 

And you're a bozo's child 

Then there's always the cash 

Selling yourself for some trash 

Smiling at people that you cannot stand 

You're in demand 

Your fifteen minutes start now 

Then there's always the fame! 

Autographs now and again 

People who saw you on Blankety Blank 

Or in the bank 

Your fifteen minutes start now
