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
