Star Struck Banner

Lyrics

[Intro] And this song is called "The Star-Struck Banner." You don't know it, you see, it's a new one.  [Verse 1] You know there's entertainment news on the hotel TV They run it for twenty-four hours Where stars discuss celebrity And celebrities talk about stars And who's having who on so and so's set The lifestyles of the rich and useless From Queen Julia down to King Kong They got everybody singing that song But everybody's got it wrong [Chorus] And it makes me stutter, makes me stammer So let's fly it high It's the star-struck banner Here's how it works and here's a spanner (That's a wrench) You can stick it in! [Verse 2] Well, I know that woman and she can't act And I know who bought her her breasts Once she wanted to get to grips with me Now she can't get me off her chest (Think about it) I've seen— I've seen the— (Yeah) I've seen the photos of their wedding day Now she's another gay divorcee Well, you can blame it on the media but I'm not buying All their crocodile tears and their wolf crying If you get it and you don't want it You're just not trying [Chorus] It makes me stutter, makes me stammer So just fly it high 'Cause it's the star-struck banner Here's how it works and here's a spanner You can stick it in! [Bridge] Well, now I read the papers, I'm looking for the news But all I see is irrelevance And if you thought no one was dying, well, you'd be excused 'Cause it's an insult to the unintelligent [Verse 3] You know that me, I'm just an armchair outlaw But I'm trying to make ends meet When I try a little psycho maths Well, it knocks me off my feet Well, I've heard there's no gods left anymore So what do we wanna make these new ones for? We'll just get on our knees like we know we should And we'll say our prayers to Holywood But it ain't gonna do us no good [Chorus] And it makes me stutter, makes me stammer So just fly it high 'Cause it's the star-struck banner Here's how it works and here's a spanner (Alright) Well, you can stick it in! Well, it makes me stutter, makes me stammer Fly it high (Yeah)
