The Kinks - Top of the Pops lyrics

I've just come in at number 25 I'm oh so happy, so glad to be alive And everybody says it's going to get to the top Life is so easy when your record's hot Go tell my mamma and my sister too To press my trousers and polish my shoes I might even end up a rock-and-roll god It might turn into a steady job. My agent said to me: "Son, I always told you so." Now my record's number 11 on the BBC But number 7 on the N.M.E. Now the Melody Maker want to interview me And ask about my politics and theories on religion. Now my record's up to number 3 And a woman recognized me and started to scream This all seems like a crazy dream I've been invited to a dinner with a prominent queen Now I've got friends that I never knew I had before It's strange how people want you when you record's high When it drops down they just pa** you by Now my agent just called me on the telephone said, "Son" "your record's just got to number one" "And do you know what this means? This means you can earn some real money!"
