Stardom In Action Lyrics - Singles - Townshend Pete

Stardom in action that's all they got. 

Just like the grub that wriggles to the top of the mass 

I'm the first to get hooked 

Just like the stub of that long cigarette full of hash 

I'm the first to get booked. 

But I'm incapable 

My love's inescapable 

Conquering lethargy 

I've got energy 

Stardom - I want a hit 

Want my tan, want my cash, want my innocence. 

Stardom - I want a script 

Want my band, want my stash, want omnipotence. 

I'll go where the senescent soldier retires 

And shiver in south California, 

Watching the storms and the tangling wire 

And rivers that meet on the corner. 

Like some prostitute 

Handing round the loot, 

I am not ashamed 

I will stake a claim. 

Stardom - born in a trunk 

Got my home, got my car, got stability 

Stardom - I'm Hollywood's son 

All alone don't admire anonimity. 

I'm so angry that you turned me on, 

I didn't remain your friend for too long 

I'm so angry that you turned me on, 

I didn't stay your friend for too long. 

I'm so angry that you let me see 

My totally futile destiny. 

I'm so angry - you interrupted my dream, 

Now I know that the power rests in me. 

Stardom in action that's all they got.
