John Entwistle - Success Story Lyrics
Friday night, I'm on my way homeThey oughtta make work a crimeI'm home for the weekendGonna make the most of my timeThere's a rock and roll singerOn the televisionGivin' up his music, gonna take up religionAbandoned rock and roll to try to save his soulSaturday night, got a gig with the bandPlayin' the electric guitarSomeday, I'm gonna make itGonna be a super-duper starBuy a big flashy carAnd a house for my maThe big break better happen soonCuz I'm pushin' twenty-oneJust like Cinderella,when she couldn't go to the ball(a voice said), I'm your fairy manager,you shall play Carnegie Hall.?Gotta give up your day jobTo become a heart throbI may go farIf I smash my guitarAway for the weekend, I gotta play some one-night standsSix for the taxman and one for the bandBack in the studio to make our latest number oneTake 276, you know this used to be fun...Sunday mornin', I just got homeSix and the birds are singin'I need a drink, and my clothes are wetOoh and my ears are still ringin'There's a rock and roll singerBoppin' on the TVHe used to be a preacherBut now he sings in a major keyAmended his decision to the new religion
