[QUOTE]Ain't got no hope, got no idea
What to do or why I'm here
Wanna get my face on your TV
Wanna be heard, I want to be seen

Ain't got nothing
No, nothing
Nothing to show
Make me a c-lebrity

I want to be, a face on TV
Then you can see, I'm a c-lebrity

I wanna get my features on your TV
See this creature on every street, in every scene
Write my life story before I'm 21
I gotta tell the world - they may say I'm dumb

But I - ain't got nothing
No, nothing
Nothing to show
Make me a c-lebrity

I want to be, a face on TV
Then you can see, I'm a c-lebrity

Wanna be a star in a Broadway musical
They will love me, though I can't sing or dance at all
(???)
And I almost feel good, I stand no chance at all

I want to be, a face on TV
Then you can see, I'm a c-lebrity
Then you can say, you knew me one day
Then you will see, I'm a c-lebrity

C-, c-lebrity
C-, c-, c-lebrity
C-, c-lebrity
C-, c-, c-lebrity

I want to be heard
I want to be seen on every TV screen[/QUOTE]

If anyone knows the line that I marked "???", please let me know. I just couldn't make it out.

Thanks, G.!

"I wanna get my features on your TV"

Isn't there something about "magazines"?

"See this creature on every street, in every scene"

More like "screen" than "scene".

instead of "i almost feel good..." i think it is, "if i was real good, then id stand no chance at all" reckon its some kind of comment on "c-lebritys" getting all the attention and chances instead of talented people.

verse 2, as I heard it:

I wanna get my future in magazines
See this creature on every street, on every screen
Writin' my life story before I'm twenty-one
I gotta tell the world, they may say I'm dumb

verse 3, I don't really know... Paul seemed to sing the third line out of the blue, but this is what I reckon it might be:

I wanna be a star in a Broadway musical
And you're gonna love me, though I can't sing or dance at all
They might say I got difficult days to come
And if I was real good, I'd stand no chance at all


Nice rocker from the guys for a change. And thanks for the mp3 to whoever posted it.

also, "future" might've been "features", as suggested earlier, who knows...

Why the weird spelling?

Something to do with c-list celebrities? (A-list, B-list etc) Or have i missed something glaringly obvious?

That's precisely it!

Oh and that third and fourth line of the third verse is:

They might say I'm lackadaisical
And if I was real good, I'd stand no chance at all

yeah i agree the line sounds like:

They might say (HA) I'm lackadaisical

So with lack of some ad-libs it goes like this:

Oh yeah
Ain't got no hope, got no idea
What to do or why I'm here
Wanna get my face on your TV
I wanna be heard, I want to be seen

Ain't got nothing
No, nothing
Nothing to show
Make me a c-lebrity

I want to be, a face on TV
Aha
Then you can see, I'm a c-lebrity

I wanna get my features in magazines
See this creature on every street, on every screen
Write my life story before I'm 21
I gotta tell the world - they may say I'm dumb

But I - ain't got nothing
No, nothing
Nothing to show
Make me a c-lebrity

I want to be, a face on TV
Aha
Then you can see, I'm a c-lebrity
Yeah yeah yeah

I wanna be a star (?) in a Broadway musical
They will love me, though I can't sing or dance at all
They might say ha I'm lackadaisical
And if I was real good, I'd stand no chance at all (?)

I want to be, a face on TV
I wanna be on your screen
Then you can see, I'm a c-lebrity
Then you can say
Then you can say, (?) you knew me one day
Then you will know
Then you will see, I'm a c-lebrity
(?)

C-, c-lebrity
C-, c-, c-lebrity
I want to be a
C-, c-lebrity
C-, c-, c-lebrity
I've gotta be a
C-, c-lebrity
(?)
C-, c-, c-lebrity

I want to be heard
I want to be seen on every TV screen

I think he's saying "pictures", not "features". Otherwise, I think Serry's transcription is correct :)

By the way, the definition of lackadaisical: "lacking life, spirit, or zest"

OH YEAHEAH
