a police car and a screamin' siren
pneumatic drill and ripped-up concrete
a baby wailing
a stray dog howling
the screech of brakes and lamplight blinking
that's entertainment
that's entertainment
a smash of glass and the rumble of boots
an electric train and a ripped-up phone booth
paint-splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
lights going out and a kick in the balls
i say that's entertainment
that's entertainment
la la la. days of speed and slow-time mondays
pissing down with rain on a boring wednesday
watching the news and not eating your tea
freezing cold flat with damp on the walls
i say that's entertainment
that's entertainment
waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning
opening the windows and breathing in petrol
an amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard
watching the telly and thinking 'bout your holidays
that's entertainment
that's entertainment
waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes
cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume
a hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac
feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away
that's entertainment
that's entertainment
two lovers kissing masks a scream of midnight
two lovers missing the tranquillity of solitude
getting a cab and travelling on buses
reading the graffiti about slashed-seat affairs
i say that's entertainment
that's entertainment
la la la.
