Graham Parker - Success lyrics

The dreams and hopes of men Are powered by addiction And who am I to say that This is an affliction When everybody gets s**ered in and lives their Lives like fiction Writing their own story Of success They say they want you For your colourful evocation The way you turn a cliche Into a sensation But all they ever wanted Was that same vibration The one that shimmers Around success [Chorus] Success success Success success success Success success success All you ever need success You can't be happy while Someone else has a fistful They glow from TV screens Healthy strong and fiscal And everybody slaps their Back while you're alone With a wristful Jerking to the rhythm Of success
