Paparazzi



Paparazzi, can"t make the man.
Paparazzi, can"t break the man.

Next to the transit lounge
  see the Paparazzi tears.
No-one came in today
  from Boston or Tangiers.
And in departures ---
  only faceless trippers trip,
  loaded with duty free
  held in white knuckle grip.

Snap it up, flash away ---
  steal a camel for a day.
Break the story in heavy type ---
  the news is running late tonight.

Be-decked with Nikon necklaces
  hear the Paparazzi cries.
Under their noses walk
  the famous in disguise.
Conspicuously huddled there
  but no-one stops to look.
They"ve got their crayons out
  to colour in the book.

Snap it up, flash away ---
  steal a camel for a day.
Break the story in heavy type ---
  Paparazzi won"t be home tonight.

Paparazzi --- write it down.
Paparazzi --- turn it around.
Paparazzi --- take it, fake it,
  break it.
  `Cos it"s a story.
Now someone"s cut the lines
  communication"s down.
All photo film is fogged.
Celebrities surround
  and jab their fingers at me.
They kiss but I can"t tell.
Even poor Paparazzi
  must have privacy as well.

Snap it up, flash away ---
  steal a camel for a day.
Break the story in heavy type ---
  the news is running late tonight.

Snap it up, flash away ---
  steal a camel for a day.
Break the story in heavy type ---
  Paparazzi won"t be home tonight.
