Lyrics
A police car
And a screaming siren
Pneumatic drill
And ripped up concrete
A baby wailing
A stray dog howling
The screech of brakes
And lamplight blinking
That's entertainment
That's entertainment
A smash of glass
And the rumble of boots
An electric train
And a ripped up phone booth
Paint splattered walls
And the cry of a tom cat
Lights going out
And a kick in the balls
I said, that's entertainment
That's entertainment
(Aaah, say la, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la)
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
I say, that's entertainment
That's entertainment
(La, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la, la)
Waking up at six a.m.
On a cool, warm morning
Opening the windows
And breathing in petrol
An amateur band
Rehearses in a nearby yard
Watching the telly
And thinking 'bout your holidays
That's entertainment
That's entertainment
(Aaah, say la, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la)
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
Feeding ducks in the park
And wishing you were far away
That's entertainment
That's entertainment
Two lovers kissing
Amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing
The tranquility of solitude
Getting in a cab and
Travelling on buses
Reading the graffiti about slashed-seat affairs
I say, that's entertainment
That's entertainment
(Aaah, say la, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la)
(La, la, la, la)
