Lyrics

He was a light star Tripping on a high wire Bulldog stubborn Born uneven A classless creature A man for all seasons But don't bet them They can't take him to the very bottom Because they made him And they'll waste him And I don't believe That I wanna watch them 'Cause the 50s shifted out of gear He was an idol then Now now he's an idol here But his face has changed It's not the same no more And I have to say That I like the way his music sounded before He was tight-assed Walking on broken glass Highly prized in the wallet size Number one crush in a schoolgirl's eyes But don't pretend that it won't end In the depths of your despair You went from lamé suits Right down to tennis shoes To peanuts from the lion's share 'Cause the 50s shifted out of gear He was an idol then Now he's an idol here But his face is changed It's not the same no more more more And I have to say That I like the way his music sounded before
