Fred Astaire
That's Entertainment (The Band Wagon)
A police car and a screaming sirenA pneumatic drill and ripped up concreteA baby wailing and stray dog howlingThe screech of brakes and lamp lights blinking, I say that's entertainment.That's entertainmentA smash of glass and the rumble of bootsAn electric train and a ripped up 'phone boothPaint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcatLights going out and a kick in the balls, I say that's entertainment.That's entertainmentDays of speed and slow time MondaysPissing down with rain on a boring WednesdayWatching the news and not eating your teaA freezing cold flat and damp on the walls, I say that's entertainment.That's entertainmentWaking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morningOpening the windows and breathing in petrolAn amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yardWatching the tele and thinking about your holidays, that's entertainment.SongtexteThat's entertainmentWaking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettesCuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfumeA hot summer's day and sticky black tarmacFeeding ducks in the park and wishing you were faraway, that's entertainment.That's entertainmentTwo lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnightTwo lovers missing the tranquility of solitudeGetting a cab and traveling on busesReading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs,I say that's entertainment.That's entertainment
