Survival Of The Fittest

The Hollies
Survival Of The Fittest
(Allan Clarke/Tony Hicks/Graham Nash)
Track 1 on album 'Confessions For The Mind' november 1970

Give her a hand 'cos she gave a good show
Her makeup was right for the occasion
She did what she had to do, she said what she had to say
She played her part to perfection

She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public
She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public
acclaim's not the same
such a shame

The star of the show she was true to herself
and everything went as reported
Rumours about herself came along
That's when it all got distorted

She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public
She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public
acclaim's not the same
such a shame

What a good show she gave
Happy to go on the stage
Was she to know it would change
Can she go on feeling strange

She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public
She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public
acclaim's not the same
such a shame
