lyrics

Your leading lady is a nervous wreck
The producer is a pain in the neck
The budget's blown, it's starting to rain
And you wonder if it's worth the pain

Your cast and crew are tired and spent
Your landlord’s calling, you can’t pay the rent
If you keep on living this way
You'll end up a showbiz fiasco one day

You sip a gin and Dubonnet
It reminds you of Saint-Tropez
Those drunken nights on the Riviera
You and your posse were a holy terror

The best and brightest, draining the cup
Never thinking that life would catch up
They told you, keep on living this way
You’d end up a showbiz fiasco one day

Somewhere far away
From flashing lights and fame
Where you can walk all day
And no one knows your name

How much is the price
You’d pay for peace of mind?
Just what would it take
To leave this all behind?

Across the river you can see your flat
It's full of paintings and expensive hats
Every one selected with taste
But now your whole life seems a waste

All your assistants and proteges
Are just like you were in your younger days
You tell them, keep on living this way
They’ll all end up showbiz fiascos one day
