A Popsong - Wreckless Eric
[ ](bass notes or chords) x4
[ ]* verse riff x4
My record company phoned me today
* *
They said we re running out of product, and we need something to play
* *
Just a two minute song; a snazzy middle eight
(stop)
We ll get some AM-FM action in the United States
[ ] x4
* *
Now the agency that handles all my affairs
* *
Said we re running out of time we ain t got any time to spare
* *
Better write a pop record with a money spinning hook
(stop)
If the muse don t hit you you re off their books
We want a pop song write a pop song
We need a pop song Oh, noooo
Hell s bells Buckets of blood
You got me reaching for my tranquelizers
Too late to start It s much too soon to stop
Why don t you book another act to fill your 20 minute spot
* x6
* *
I don t know why everybody is making all this fuss
* *
Why don t you switch the television on, I think I ve had enough
* *
Back on ITV they re advertising dandruff
(stop) (fill - see below)
And here comes the music to sell the stuff
It s just a pop song Another pop song
Well, it s a pop song Oh no, no, na, na, nooo
It s just a pop song - asphyxiates your mind
It s a pop song - the neolithic kind
It s just a pop song - you can hear every day
You go hey, hey - its cheering up your day
A pop song
A monster pop song
Another pop song - got a lot of class
It s just a pop song - like Heart of Glass
It s just a pop song - your radio on
fades....
It s just a pop song - keeps you going while you re travelling on
