That's Entertainment (The Band Wagon)

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

That's entertainment
That's entertainment

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

I say that's entertainment
That's entertainment, la, la

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

I say that's entertainment
That's entertainment

Waking up at 6 am
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 about your holidays

That's entertainment
That's entertainment, la, la

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

That's entertainment
That's entertainment

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

I say that's entertainment
That's entertainment, la, la
