Have you ever felt that sometimes you have to carry the burden by yourself? Sure, you've got your friends you can talk to but still they won't feel the same thing that you feel. In fact, you doubt that they can give you the reassurance you want them to give. It's not that you don't trust them. It's just that you can't handle their reactions; you know perfectly well how they would react and none of them would swallow and laugh at the madness that you've just experienced. Yes, you just want them to look at it as funny as you think it is. You don't need them to sympathize or label you as silly. You need them to laugh with or at you, cause you have been stronger than before and are able to handle this by yourself.
So laugh, then. It all has been a brilliant comical entertainment. You have been a good sport.
Police car with a screaming siren
Pneumatic drill on ripped-up concrete
Baby wails, a stray dog howling
Brakes screech as lamp light blinking
That's Entertainment
That's Entertainment
Smash of glass and a rumble of boots
Electric train and a ripped up phone booth
A hot day and a sticky black tarmac
A hot day and I'm wishing I was far away
That's Entertainment
That's Entertainment
La, la, la
La, la, la
Days of speed and a slow time Mondays
Wake up at 6 AM and think about your holidays
Open window and breathe in petrol
Cold flat with damp on the walls
Yes, That's Entertainment
That's Entertainment
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
Two lovers kissing over screams of midnight
Two lovers miss the tranquility of solitude
Read grafitti of slash-seat affairs
Splattered walls and a kick in the balls
Is all that you get - in the name of entertainment
La, la, la
-- Morrissey, That's Entertainment
*entertainment indeed..
