Lyrics

[Verse 1]

A police car and a screaming siren

Pneumatic drill and ripped-up concrete

A baby wailing, a stray dog howling

The screech of brakes and lamplight blinking

[Verse 2]

That's entertainment

That's entertainment

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

I say that's entertainment

That's entertainment

[Verse 5]

Days of speed and slow-time Mondays

Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday

Watching the news and not eating your tea

A freezing cold flat with damp on the walls

[Verse 6]

I say that's entertainment

That's entertainment

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

That's entertainment

That's entertainment

[Verse 9]

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

[Verse 10]

That's entertainment

That's entertainment

[Verse 11]

Two lovers kissing masks a scream of midnight

Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude

Getting a cab and travelling on buses

Reading the grafitti about slashed-seat affairs

[Verse 12]

I say that's entertainment

That's entertainment
