Lyrics

I just think it's all like politics are so sodding naive
I stay clear of it whenever I can
Because I think people who
Politicians are as thick as pig shit anyway
And people in music who can't even write a good song
Not Elvis Costello, he's obviously talented and everything
But there are people in music who start commenting on politics
They don't even know the first thing about music never mind politics
It's better to just if you're going to do something
Just do it and do it anonymously
Don't pretend you know anything about things
I find all that, that thing in pop music
'Cause that's what it is, pop music
I think it just gets out of hand
It's like I don't want
When I was a kid buying pop records or rock records
I didn't want sodding Bowie to be spouting on about
You know, the GLC or whatever
I wanted him to be a hero
I think that's what pop music's all about
He can do whatever he wants anonymously
And he can put whatever money he makes into certain organizations
And charitable funds and everything
But I want him to be a hero more than anything
And I think with pop music
You're dealing with 13-year-olds
And 14-year-olds and 15-year-olds basically
That's when I was into the Velvets I was 13
And Bowie I was 13
And I didn't, I just wanted them to be gods
And I think that's what they should be
They shouldn't be trying to win affection through all
All that life I think
It's like trying to
They're not content with being number one
They wanna be sodding respected in some strange way
A political way
No, I thought it was all a bit dubious
I mean Frankie Goes to Hollywood
They were the biggest group at the time
Only in Britain yeah
But I mean they were the biggest sensation
And they never did it
I just think it was all a bit dubious
It was like people doing it for reasons that
When, yeah I said at least Freddie Mercury said
"We did it 'cause we'd been
We wanted to get out to over a billion people"
And I think that was why they did it
I'm sure Bowie thought that he was doing it for a good reason
But it was like an event that you'd have
We'd have because we're perverse anyway
We'd have missed out on it
Whether we'd have been a big group or not
It's I just think it's all misinformed and misguided
