That's Entertainment - "The Sound Of The Jam" Version
A police car and a screaming siren
Pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
A baby wailing, a stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamplight blinking
That's entertainment
That's entertainment
A smash of glass and the rumble of boots
An electric train and a ripped up phone booth
Paint splattered walls
And the cry of a tom cat
Lights going out
And a kick in the balls
I say, that's entertainment
That's entertainment
La, la, ah, ah
La, la, la
Days of speed and slow time Mondays
Pissing down with rain
On a boring Wednesday
Watching the news and not eating your tea
A freezing cold flat
And damp on the walls
I say, that's entertainment
That's entertainment
Waking up at 6am
On a cool warm morning
Opening the windows and
Breathing in petrol
An amateur band
Rehearsing in a nearby yard
Watching the telly
And thinking 'bout your holidays
That's entertainment
That's entertainment
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la
Waking up from bad dreams
And smoking cigarettes
Cuddling a warm girl
And smelling stale perfume
A hot summer's day
And sticky black tarmac
Feeding ducks in the park
And wishing you were far away
That's entertainment
That's entertainment
Two lovers kissing masks the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude
Getting a cab and
Travelling on buses
Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs
I say, that's entertainment
That's entertainment
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
