Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm home, lost my job and incurably ill

You think this is easy, realism

I've got a girl out there, I suppose

I think she's dancin'

Feel like Dan Dare lies down

I think she's dancin', what do I know?

[Verse 2]

I am a DJ, I am what I play

Can't turn around, no, can't turn around, no, oh, ooh, ooh

I am a DJ, I am what I play

Can't turn around, no, can't turn around, no, oh no

I am a DJ, I am what I play

I've got believers, believing me, oh

[Verse 3]

One more weekend of lights and evening faces

Fast food, living nostalgia

Humble pie or bitter fruit

[Verse 4]

I am a DJ, I am what I play

Can't turn around, no, can't turn around, no, ooh

I am a DJ, I am what I say

Can't turn around, no, can't turn around, ooh

I am a DJ, I am what I play

I've got believers, believing me

[Verse 5]

I am a DJ, I am what I play

Can't turn around, no, can't turn around

I am a DJ, I am what I play

Can't turn around, no, can't turn around

I am a DJ, I am what I play

Can't turn around, no

[Verse 6]

Time flies when you're having fun

Break his heart, break her heart

He used to be my boss and now he is a puppet dancer

I am a DJ, and I've got believers

I got believers

I got believers

I got believers in me

I got believers

I am a DJ, I am what I play

I am a DJ
