"Cause I hate you and your wife, and if I get the chance,
I'll fuck up your life"
* - Paul Weller, 'Mr. Clean' (1979)

That's Entertainment
By Paul Weller

A police car and a screaming siren –
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete –
A baby wailing and stray dog howling –
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking –

That's Entertainment.

A smash of glass and a 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 –

That's Entertainment.

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 and damp on the walls –

That's Entertainment.

Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning –
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol –
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard –
Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays –

That's Entertainment.

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 –
Fedding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away –

That's Entertainment.

Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight –
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude –
Getting a cab and travelling on buses –
Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs –

That's Entertainment.
