Momus - Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous lyrics
[Momus - Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous lyrics]
Photographs by the paparazzi
Joy rides in his Maserati
Invites from every arty fashion victim
To every warehouse party
I'm not blind I've seen you shine
When he's around
And I've watched all your desire
With fascination watched it's satisfaction
And lying alone in bed I've read
The book he sent us
'The Rules of Attraction' by
Bret Easton Ellis
Fame, power, the love of women
I'm wrong the world is right
Stock, Aitken and Waterman
Margaret Thatcher and Sigmund Freud
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
When you're up everybody wants your babies
And where we lived could've been bigger
And what I earned a much higher figure
That didn't seem important -
I'm a little disappointed
But, I'm trying not to get bitter
I'm not blind, I've seen you shine
When he's around
And I've watched all your desire
With fascination watched it's satisfaction
And lying alone I've read
'Success' by Martin Amis
And 'The Rules of Attraction'
By Bret Easton Ellis
Fame, power, the love of women
I'm wrong the world is right
Stock, Aitken and Waterman
Margaret Thatcher and Sigmund Freud
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
When you're up everybody wants your babies
Goodbye to the 1980s
Joy rides in his Maserati
Invites from every arty fashion victim
To every warehouse party
I'm not blind I've seen you shine
When he's around
And I've watched all your desire
With fascination watched it's satisfaction
And lying alone in bed I've read
The book he sent us
'The Rules of Attraction' by
Bret Easton Ellis
Fame, power, the love of women
I'm wrong the world is right

When you're up everybody wants your babies
And where we lived could've been bigger
And what I earned a much higher figure
That didn't seem important -
I'm a little disappointed
But, I'm trying not to get bitter
I'm not blind, I've seen you shine
When he's around
And I've watched all your desire
With fascination watched it's satisfaction
And lying alone I've read
