Razzmatazz


N.B. Please do not read the lyrics whilst listening to the recordings


The trouble with your brother
He's always sleeping with your mother
And I know that your sister missed her time again this month
Am I talking too fast or are you just plain dumb
If you want I can write it down
It shouldn't matter to you 'cos aren't you the one
With your razzmatazz and the nights on the town

Oh oh oh
Oh you knew it and you blew it didn't you babe
I was lying when I asked you to stay
And now no one's gonna care if you don't call them when you said
And he's not coming round tonight to try to talk you into bed
And all those stupid little things they ain't working
No they aint working no more

You started getting fatter three weeks after I left you
And now you're going with some kid who looks like some bad comedian
Are you gonna go out or are you staying at home
Eating boxes of Milk Tray
Watch TV on your own, oh aren't you the one
With your razzmatazz and the nights on the town

Oh oh oh
And your father wants to help you doesn't he babe
But your mother wants to put you away.
And now no one's gonna care if you don't call them when you said
And he's not coming round tonight to try to talk you into bed
And all those stupid little things they ain't working
No they ain't working no more

Well I saw you at the doctors waiting for a test
You're trying to look like some kind of heiress
But your face is such a mess
And now you're going to a party and you're leaving on your own
Oh, oh I'm sorry didn't you say
That things go better with a little bit of razzmatazz

Oh ma, ma, ma, ma...

And now no one's gonna care if you don't call them when you said
And he's not coming round tonight to try to talk you into bed
And now it's half past ten in the evening
And you wish that you were dead
'Cause all those stupid little things they ain't working
No they ain't working no more
