The Star Struck Banner Lyrics by John Wesley Harding

The Star Struck Banner Lyrics

    There's entertainment news on the hotel tv
    They run it for 24 hours
    Where stars discuss celebrity
    And celebrities talk about stars
    And who's having who on so and so's set
    The lifestyles of the rich and useless
    From queen julia down to king kong
    They got everybody singing that song
    But everybody's got it wrong

    It makes me stutter, makes me stammer
    So let's fly it high
    The star-struck banner
    Here's how it works and here's a spanner
    Stick it in!

    I know that woman and she can't act
    And i know who bought her breasts
    Once she wanted to get to grips with me
    Now she can't get me off her chest
    I saw the photos of their wedding day
    Now she's another gay divorcee
    Well, they can blame it on the media but i'm not buying
    All their crocodile tears or their wolf crying
    If you get it and you don't want it
    Then you're not trying

    It makes me stutter, makes me stammer
    So let's fly it high
    The star-struck banner
    Here's how it works and here's a spanner
    Stick it in!

    I read the papers, looking for the news
    All i see is excuses for irrelevance
    If you thought no-one was dying then you'd be excused
    It's an insult to the unintelligent
    (i burned bright for ten minutes one night
    With a girl who had a bit part in ... who cares?
    But my hard work failed when she checked my sales
    And threw me down the stairs)

    Me, i'm just an armchair outlaw
    Trying to make ends meet
    But when i try a little psycho maths
    Well it knocks me off my feet
    I've heard there's no gods left anymore
    So what do we wanna make these new ones for?
    We'll just say our prayers like we know we should
    Get on our knees and pray to holywood
    But it ain't gonna do us no good

    It makes me stutter, makes me stammer
    So let's fly it high
    The star-struck banner
    Here's how it works and here's a spanner
    Stick it in!
