Fallen Idol
Bernard Butler / Brett Anderson
Eyes that stare through television
Intermission in his mind
Where there once was such ambition that blared
Like a bassline when the bassline's right
Shame he's just this fallen idol
Shattered like some broken glass
Shame he's just this fallen idol with
Bits of paper for his past
Years are scattered like the rain drops
Sits at the window through the empty day
Competitions in the paper
Stares at the sky when the sky turns grey
Shame he's just this fallen idol
Shattered like some broken glass
Shame he's just this fallen idol
Shame he's just this fallen idol
Empty as the middle class
Shame he's just this fallen idol with
Bits of paper for his past
Bits of paper for his past
