Celebrity Album Lyrics

The lyrics to the full Celebrity album by the Escape Club

SAY HELLO

To all you sinners near and far

We’ve come to change the way you are

Nothing can be deemed too extreme

We’ve come to change the way you dream

Hello, hello

Don’t look away no, don’t go, don’t look away now

Don’t look away no, don’t go, don’t look away

Say hello, hello

To all the hidden and misplaced

Held back in time without a face

To all the sold – out and ignored

Washed up like oil upon the shore

Hello, hello

Don’t look away no, don’t go, don’t look away now

Don’t look away no, don’t go, don’t look away

Say hello, hello

Stay, say hello, hello

Goodbye hunger, goodbye pain

We’ll never see your face again

We’ll re-brand and make it fun

A supersize for everyone

Don’t look away no, don’t go, don’t look away now

Don’t look away no, don’t go, don’t look away

Say hello, hello

Stay, say hello, hello

They say hello, hello

To all you sinners near and far

Hello, hello

MISS AMERICA

Beauty burned into my eyes and tied me down

And I can’t move and I can’t breathe

I’ll admit you really got me spell-bound

You kicked in like a drug on me

Sent me on a ride, messing with my mind

You got to me so suddenly

You walked right in and knocked me out

When they were crowning Miss America

You filled my eyes, you shook me up

And I didn’t even notice her

You just came in, wrote your name on my heart

When they were crowning Miss America

You peel the layers off one by one

Like some strip fantasy

If I could reach out and touch the sun

You’d really make a mess of me

Could I win the prize,

You can bet I’d try

But it don’t come easily, you’re telling me

You walked right in and knocked me out

When they were crowning Miss America

You filled my eyes, you shook me up

And I didn’t even notice her

You just came in, wrote your name on my heart

When they were crowning Miss America

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Got to get you in my life, I’ve got you in my sights

I got a taste but I want more, pick me up off the floor

Can’t move, I can’t relax. You gave me a bad attack.

One look and I’m energized , I’m still flying high

Burned into my eyes,

Messing with my mind

You walked right in and knocked me out

When they were crowning Miss America

You filled my eyes, you shook me up

And I didn’t even notice her

You just came in, wrote your name on my heart

When they were crowning Miss America

GOD’S OWN RADIO

Well, I met her Sunday morning

She said, “I thought you were dead”

She was singing good and loud

To the songs in her head

She’s got Heaven in her pocket

And it jangles with her change

Down a pedestrian thoroughfare

To God’s own radio

She said, “nothing ever mattered

‘Cos nothing ever changes

All the lies that you wrote

Are ripped from my pages

I don’t need you no more

And I’ll never look back

‘Cos I’m tuned in now

To God’s own radio”

There’s a sound on the airwaves

That’s tripping the scene

We’ve got the number one song

If you know what I mean

From the back end of nowhere

To Idaho

Hey, look out here we go,

It’s God’s own radio

Well, I can’t abandon

The thought that she’s sinking

I look in her eyes

And I know what she’s thinking

She says, “hey, you can’t touch me,

You aint seen the light”

Hell, you got that right.

On God’s own radio

I only met her in the morning

And by ten – fifteen

She was trying to turn me

To the clean – living scene

Well, I made my excuses

Said I had to go

She’s got her own show

On God’s own radio

There’s a sound on the airwaves

That’s tripping the scene

We’ve got the number one song

If you know what I mean

From the back end of nowhere

To Idaho

They don’t play Rock and Roll

On God’s own radio

CAN’T LEAVE THE PARTY

This party’s over

But it just keeps on going

And I should really leave here

But I can’t get out the door

Down in the basement

They took on a new groove

And they ran out of cool new

But they just sent out for more

Here we go again

Can’t leave the party

Having a good time

Can’t leave the party

Since 1989

Can’t leave the party

We’re grooving to the vibe

Can’t leave the party

And you aint leaving

Dead or alive

I met a Princess

She said she come from outside

She got stuck to a mirror

Soon as she walked in the room

She Neo-Con recitals

She said she satisfies those

High rolling rollers

Keep her living in the groove

Let me tell you now

Can’t leave the party

Having a good time

Can’t leave the party

Since 1989

Can’t leave the party

We’re grooving to the vibe

Can’t leave the party

And you aint leaving

Dead or alive

Can’t leave this Goddam party

Emo teenagers tell me

That they’ve been chosen

But I’ve seen those vampires

From like twenty years before

They’ve got no shadows

And they, they shimmy slowly

Look like Bella Lugosi

Yeah they’re crowding out the floor

Here we go again

Can’t leave the party

Having a good time

Can’t leave the party

Since 1989

Can’t leave the party

We’re grooving to the vibe

Can’t leave the party

And you aint leaving

Dead or alive

CELEBRITY

Let’s all go and get famous

You don’t have to be strangers

C’mon and share the publicity

Celebrity

As long as there’s somebody watching

And you can smile about something

You’re  never going to be a non – entity

Celebrity

‘Cause it’s a buzz when reality hits

It’s got to stick when you think about it

One shot goes off on the right night

One flash and you’re there in the spotlight

One kiss is essentially all you need

Celebrity

You need to be seen on the T.V.

The right line and you’ve got notoriety

One picture in is O.K.

‘Cause then you’ll be

A Celebrity

If you can fake without bluffing

Let’s all talk about nothing

C’mon and take it to the paparazzi

Celebrity

‘Cause it’s a buzz when reality hits

It’s got to stick when you think about it

One shot goes off on the right night

One flash and you’re there in the spotlight

One kiss is essentially all you need

Celebrity

You need to be seen on the T.V.

The right line and you’ve got notoriety

One picture in is O.K.

‘Cause then you’ll be

A Celebrity

Bleach your teeth with whitening

Get in there like lightning

Don’t just be a wannabe

Be a Celebrity

It’s a buzz when reality hits

It’s got to stick when you think about it

One shot goes off on the right night

One flash and you’re there in the spotlight

One kiss is essentially all you need

Celebrity

You need to be seen on the T.V.

The right line and you’ve got notoriety

One picture  in O.K.

And then you’ll be

A Celebrity

WAITING FOR THE SUN

As the night turns into day

I’m still lying here awake

‘Cause I tried to reel back time again

God, the years have left me numb,

Guess I’m not the only one

If a part of you is yesterday today

I can’t think about it

I’ve learned to live without it

I never felt it slip away

And I don’t know where the love’s gone

Where this loneliness has come from

‘Cause I never thought of myself

Waiting for the one

And I kid myself it’s alright,

But I don’t know where the love’s gone

A light went out tonight

And I’m still here

Waiting for the sun

Seems like time just slipped away

Count the stars and give them names

I can’t seem to find my way anymore

Feel her standing with me still

Always have and always will

In another place

Ten thousand days away

I can’t think about it

Just learned to live without it

I never felt it slip away

And I don’t know where the love’s gone

Where this loneliness has come from

‘Cause I never thought of myself

Waiting for the one

And I kid myself it’s alright,

But I don’t know where the love’s gone

A light went out tonight

And I’m still here

Waiting for the sun

Don’t know where the love’s gone

I’m still waiting here

Waiting for the one

Don’t turn around

No going back again, back again

And I don’t know where the love’s gone

Where this loneliness has come from

‘Cause I never thought of myself

Waiting for the one

And I kid myself it’s alright,

But I don’t know where the love’s gone

A light went out tonight

And I’m still here

Waiting for the sun

Don’t know where the love’s gone

I’m still waiting here

Waiting for the one

EMOTIONAL TERRORIST

You ripped my heart and you stole my name

You took my word and you made it a game

Emotional terrorist

I paid the price and it’s called desire

We aint fighting fire with fire

Emotional terrorist

You burn it all

And I wind up with nothing

How ‘bout giving me something

Emotional terrorist

You took my home and you stole my thunder

I’ll still be mad when I’m six feet under

Emotional terrorist

Are you gunning for me?

Are you faking for me?

Well, I can see

So let the bunny boil

You cracked my heart and you stole my name

I have to fight you

Again and again and again

Emotional terrorist

WE CAN’T GO WRONG

We’re moving on

To the soundtrack of our favourite song

Engine running now the morning’s come

Windows open wide, we can’t go wrong

Let’s take a ride,

Leave behind the wreckage of our lives

Tie it down and leave it all behind

Cheating on those memories

We’ve gone, we’re moving on

And I don’t know where to take you, you decide

Chose a road and don’t let go

The day’s begun, our favourite song

We can’t go wrong

We’re moving up

Today’s the day the arguments all stop

Let’s hit the road and see where we end up

I’ve seen the silver screen

It won’t take long

The radio’s on

And I don’t know where to take you, you decide

Chose a road and don’t let go

With Ray Bans on, our favourite song

We can’t go wrong

And darling we’re driving

Away from our lives

Don’t suffer in silence

This time we’ll be fine.

We’re moving on

To the soundtrack of our favourite song

Our windows open as we sing along

Surely now this time we can’t go wrong

We can’t go wrong

But I don’t know where to take you, you decide

Chose a road and don’t let go

We’ve started on our favourite song

We can’t go wrong

HEARTSTRINGS

She sways like a tiger

With glitter in her eyes

You’re thinking about the morning

And planning alibis

But you’ll never make the night

Boy, she’s just playing

On your heartstrings

She moves and you follow

On a trail of her perfume

And every man is turning

To track her round the room

And she’s hooked you on a line

But I know she’s just playing on your heartstrings

Don’t let go

Don’t follow

All those shiny things

She’s just playing

On your heartstrings

So frozen up with poison

That her face is like a veil

Your Momma should have told you

Never trust a girl with nails

They’re never satisfied

Boy, she’s just playing

On your heartstrings

Don’t let go

Don’t follow

The siren song she sings

She’s just playing

On your heartstrings

Don’t let her into your heart now

She’s going to eat you alive now

Use your eyes,

Boy, she’s just playing on your heartstrings

Don’t let go

Don’t follow

It aint what it seems

She’s just playing

On your heartstrings

PLANETATION

Planetation,

Stick figures in mass quantity

Planetation

Where fame is the one eternal key

There’s beauty up on that hill

See where Jack met Jill

Re-calibrate your own reason for living

And the people

Climb the steeple

And they look for other people

Planetation,

Design a new life of your own

Planetation

Does re-incarnation mean a clone?

Amazing shades of grace

Revolve at your own pace

And wake up to the sound

Of others spinning

And the people

Climb the steeple

And they look for other people

Gas spinning round

Through stars and dizzy towns

And settle on the thought

Of Planetation

And the people

Climb the steeple

And they look for other people

EIGHTIES LOVE SONG

Out of time, way out of grace

Washed up in this other place

Homesick for the song in our hearts

You and I, we cut our fears

Rolling through the Reagan years

When modern love could tear us apart

There were times, I’m sure we knew

When we were young and beautiful

Yeah, we could chose,

Just couldn’t lose

And you and I

We touched the sky

Let’s put on an Eighties love song

And for a while we’ll dance the night away

Then let it fade to grey

The way was up and we all knew,

Here’s a photograph of you

Dressed in black for Pretty in Pink

The light of fashion in your eyes,

Walkman playing out your life

That new design just aint what you think

There were times when we would fight

We didn’t always get it right

But you’ve got to chose,

Win or lose

And you and I

We touched the sky

Let’s put on an Eighties love song

And for a while we’ll dance the night away

I was standing on the street

You were there in front of me

So slick and knowing it all

We pulled them over the wall

And you and I

We touched the sky

And there were times, I’m sure we knew

When we were young and beautiful

Nothing could touch us at all

And you and I

We touched the sky

Let’s put on an Eighties love song

And for a while we’ll dance the night away
