The Paranoid Style - Barney Bubbles
51
Copied!
Incline your ears, hear the words of the wise
Portobello Road, hanging out with Hawkwind
Barney Bubbles, age 21
The lengths he would go to stay alive, the lengths he would go to shock them
You didn't act fast
While the other offers lasted
You were in a caste
And all the other roles were casted
You’ve become blind to the thing that scared you
You could end up just a pop cartoon
The daylight comes or is it a new beginning?
Or just thе beginning of another bullshit day?
Call out for insight and cry for understanding
Barnеy Bubbles dead at 41
A plastic bag, a good man gone
Nocturnal sunrise, that's the drink they'll name after me
I like the night, the daytime and the mystery
I literally kick the stereo when things get dark
It’s Carlene's C'est C Bon LP
And Bubbles did the artwork
Reasons to be cheerful, reasons to be sad
Unpaid taxes, like you weren't already spent
In the 80's your career went bad
Which can only be considered a compliment
You know the game is fixed
You know your lot in life is fucked
When fashion is your nourishment and the fashion sucks
The daylight comes or is it a new beginning?
Or just the beginning of another bullshit day?
Call out for insight and cry for understanding
Barney Bubbles dead at 41
A plastic bag, a good man gone
The daylight comes, or is it early evening?
The first shadow of another midnight run
Just another invoice left outstanding
Barney Bubbles dead at 41
What did you do? What have you done?
