that's entertainment

Lyrics

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.
