Three Minute Boy
Lyricist:Steve Hogarth, Mark Kelly, Ian Mosley, Steve Rothery, Pete Trewavas
Here today, gone this afternoon Another tune, we almost remember What's the story? Sex and drugs again Business as usual, the clock's already ticking
La, la la la, la, la la la, la, la la la, la
When he was young, staring at the TV He watched the fun happenin' to other people Now, they scream as they run after him Like a dream, like Elvis and The Beatles
A three minute song is all he wrote He only did it for a joke They played him on the radio From Tokyo to Timbuktu
A three minute boy, ain't that somethin'? They named their children after him The good times rolled beneath his feet He skipped along the one-way street
She's a pretty girl, she don't know how it started She made a movie, he almost remembered She measured up, they moved into a basement 'We're so in love', they giggled to the nation
La, la la la, la, la la la, la, la la la, la
Three minute millionaire they said The numbers rattled 'round his head Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com They spun him three times round the globe She waited patiently at home
And all the pretty girls wanted him In places that he'd never been Too much love will do you in Forgive, forgive, forgive, forgive
Three minute kid is here again Surrounded by three minute friends He found someone to understand To shock the world and hold his hand
No religion, no restraint No direction, no complaints No future and no way out No time now to think about it
All the money's gone He don't know what they spent it on Girlfriends gone off with the jag She gone back to her mum and dad
He's curled up on the studio floor He just can't do it anymore The flashgun went off without warning He'll read about it tomorrow morning
She's goin' out with someone new In this week at number two
