lyrics

I'll never be your Ooh Child, baby
I'll never be your Daniel
I'll never climb your Stairway to Heaven or
Drive down your Highway to Hell
I'm just a forgotten little melody like that theme to WKRP
If you're wondering, I'm living on the air and doing fine

Some songs become part of life
Like that monster rim-shot Bob got in '65
Others come round only once in a while
Like One Night in Bangkok or Betty Davis Eyes
We made music together, that's for sure
But our love was never anything more than just a fast-food jingle,
We were Hot 'n Now but now you're only hot for guys that sell class rings

Here's one for the one hit wonders
What Wall of Voodoo weds, let no man put asunder
Been thinking about you and it feels alright to me
Here's one for the shooting stars
I'm a long lost weekend with you in twelve bars
When Dexy strikes up the band, you hold tight to me...
