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
