CHORUS:
- I'm the shining star
- Lightning spark
- Camberwell carrots
- I can see the in dark
- Cupid's arrow lodged deep in my heart
- Love for the art
- Gifted; the way I'm so swift with the dart
- Lifting the cup
- I'm a champion
- You love to see me live it up
- That's why I can't ever give it up
- Put your hands together
- Give it up!
VERSE 1:
- Ain't nothing pretty in this city, for real
- But we can put our heads together if you're willing to build
- I see a vision of Elysian Fields
- Another day in the life of Mr William Shields
- We're slum villagers
- Drunk off of miniatures
- Fuck the ministers
- And the crumbs that they're giving us
- Behind the bars with political prisoners
- Conspiracies to limit us to indigenous listeners
- And tone down the content
- Water down the accent
- And dumb down the image on some Jazz-hand theatrics
- Singing and dancing in a top hat
- The belle of the ball
- I keep it street like Top Cat
- And Benny The Ball
- Silique of a penniless fool
- Living on the edge
- Ready to fall
- Down again
- And this time I might not pick myself back up
- Dust myself down, and put it down to luck
- Life is a cruel mistress
- She's down to make love
- But she ain't down to fuck
- Your body buckled by the pain
- Struggling in vain, wondering how to maintain
- Neighbours strung out on Crack-Cocaine
- They switch-up the story
- But the facts don't change
- They remain
- Simple and plain
- It's no use
- Groundhog Day
- You stay stuck in the loop
- And nobody's giving up the loot
- Play to win
- But it's Trivial Pursuits
- False promises, and fool's gold
- From out the cracks in the concrete
- A stone rose
- And freedom is so close I can taste it
- But never close enough for me to fully embrace it
- A lifestyle so basic
- Let's face it
CHORUS
