About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Oh, he was a light star Tripping on a high wire Bulldog stubborn Born uneven A classless creature A man for all seasons But don't bet them They can't take him to the very bottom Because they made him And they'll waste him And I don't believe That I wanna watch them [Chorus] 'Cause the fifties shifted out of gear Mmm, he was an idol then Now he's an idol here But his face has changed He's not the same no more And I have to say That I like the way his music sounded before [Verse 2] He was tight-assed Walking on broken glass Highly prized In the wallet size The number one crush In a schoolgirl's eyes But don't pretend that it won't end In the depth of your despair You went from lamé suits Right down to tennis shoes To peanuts From the lion's share (Alright) [Chorus] 'Cause the fifties shifted out of gear Oh, he was an idol then Now he's an idol here But his face has changed Oh, he's not the same no more And I have to say That I like the way his music sounded before
