Top of the Pops (Live)
Ive just come in at number 25
Im oh so happy, so glad to be alive
And everybody says its going to get to the top
Life is so easy when your records hot
Go tell my mamma and my sister too
To press my trousers and polish my shoes
I might even end up a rock-and-roll god
It might turn into a steady job.
My agent said to me : 'Son, I always told you so.'
Now my records number 11 on the BBC
But number 7 on the N.M.E.
Now the Melody Maker want to interview me
And ask about my politics and theories on religion.
Now my records up to number 3
And a woman recognized me and started to scream
This all seems like a crazy dream
Ive been invited to a dinner with a prominent queen
Now Ive got friends that I never knew I had before
Its strange how people want you when you records high
When it drops down they just pass you by
Now my agent just called me on the telephone said, 'Son'
'your records just got to number one'
'And do you know what this means? This means you can earn some
real
money!'
