Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One

I've just come in at Number 25 
I'm oh so happy, so glad to be alive 
And everybody says it's going to get to the top 
Life is so easy when your record's hot. 


Go tell my mamma and my sister too 
To press my trousers and polish my shoes 
I might even end up a rock-and-roll god 
It might turn into a steady job. 


And my agent said to me: "Son, I always told you so." 
Now my record's number 11 on the BBC 
But number seven on the N.M.E. 
Now the Manager Maker want to interview me 


And ask my view on politics and theories on religion. 
Now my record's up to number 3 
And a woman recognized me and started to scream 
This all seems like a crazy dream 
I've been invited to a dinner with a prominent queen 


And now I've got friends that I thought I never had before
It's strange how people want you when you record's high 
'Cos when it drops down they just pass you by 
Now my agent called me on the telephone and he said: 
"Son your record's just got to Number One."
