“All Loved Up” – Lyric

8 April 2013

Another new lyric, this time a bit off tongue and cheek at myself and a dig at the X Factor generation .We played this at Leamington Spa on the Saturday night and it rocked the house. As a song it’s slightly out of kilter with the rest of the album but a bit of comedy is necessary in the mix to balance against the “darkness”! I think the cynical undertone carries it. In demo form there’s an “Ian Dury” version and Steve and I think we may do an alternative mix for the bonus DVD! 🙂

All Loved Up

I come to life on a monitor screen, a click away I can post status updates, share my profile,

Check out my photos they’re not really me, they’re of some actor I have to be someone different just so you’ll like me, because I’m not special, but I know that I could be

I’m at auditions, the end of the queue, don’t need to tell me I know what to do to impress them, I’ll wear my best smile. blue house etc 095 fish-zurich-avrils wedding-mum and dad- arrow rock-yes-laura 256

Humiliation, I don’t really care, I’ll be outrageous, I’ll be the king of the freak show, to get the exposure; I’ll do whatever it takes to sign the contract.

To join the world of wall to wall celebrities I get the feeling I already know,

One day I’m sure they’re going to be my real friends

And I’ll be rubbing shoulders with the in crowd because that’s where I belongMidge, Paul , Fish Cyprus 05

 

With the beautiful people, the dazzling people, well-heeled people, well dressed people, all loved up, all loved up.

 

Don’t need no money I got credit cards, a deck of plastic I ride to the max, till meltdown, then I got parents.

Because they owe they can never refuse, I don’t feel guilty they shouldn’t really have had me, it’s all their fault, I got nothing, I really do deserve more.

All loved up, all loved, up, all loved upblue house etc 084

All I need is a lottery win, my lucky numbers sure to come in, then I’m sorted, I got no more worries.

I believe in my own destiny, I just know one day I’m going to be famous, I deserve it, because I’m so special, I love me

In my world of wall to wall celebrities I get the feeling I already know,

One day I’m sure they’re going to be my real friends

And I’ll be rubbing shoulders with the in crowd because that’s where I belongblue house etc 092

With the beautiful people, the dazzling people, well-heeled people, well dressed people

All loved up, all loved up, all loved up, all fucked up
