George Michael - Idol lyrics

He was a light star tripping on a high wire
Bulldog stubborn born uneven
A classless creature a man for all seasons
But don't bet them they can't take him
To the very bottom because they made him
And they'll waste him and I don't believe
That I want to watch them

'Cause the fifties shifted out of gear
He was an idol then now he's an idol here
But his face has changed
Oh he's not the same no more
And I have to say
That I like the way his music sounded before

He was tight-assed walking on broken glass
Highly prized in the wallet size
The number one crush in a schoolgirl's eyes
But don't pretend that it won't end
In the depth of your despair
You went from lame suit's
Right down to tennis shoes to peanuts
From the lion's share

'Cause the fifties shifted out of gear
He was an idol then now he's an idol here
But his face has changed
Oh he's not the same no more
And I have to say
That I like the way his music sounded before
