Image and the Art
Pretending that you’re someone you’re not
Flaunting skills that you haven’t got
Why care?
Just rake it in and smile
Image and the art of self-denial
Waking up at seven o’clock
And skimming all the cream off the top
Don’t care
So fake it for a while
Image and the art of self-denial
Your dreams lie on the stage
But now your girlfriend’s in a rage
You can’t turn another page
Because it’s blanker than that look upon your face
Stars and cars and heavens above
Pretending that you’re never in love
Don’t care?
It’s all about the style
Image and the art of self-denial
Your dreams die on the stage
But now your girlfriend’s in a rage
You can’t turn another page
Because it’s blanker than that look upon your face
…..
Please stare
It’s all about the style
Image and the art of self-denial
Your dreams die on the stage
But now your girlfriend’s in a rage
You can’t turn another page
‘cause now your girlfriend’s running off with someone that can act their age.
