Chris Chambers Stereophonics

It sickens me to see
The photograph in front of me
Carnation coloured pink
Stand aside and take a drink

Night club, another scene
31st it's Halloween
Slave to each new trend
Uptown junkies push again

The lovers and the wannabe's (they don't know how)
The radio's and TV's (they don't know how)
Newspaper story reads (they don't know how)
Cheap girl magazine (they don't know how)

Stand aside and cry
And never wonder why
Ask themselves why
The river has dried

Laughter after three
Shaped up to be free
Number one the most missed chart
Must have broke a thousand hearts
Parallel with the scene
Tarnished star evergreen
Live life disguised

The lovers and the wannabe's (they don't know how)
The radio's and TV's (they don't know how)
Newspaper story reads (they don't know how)
Cheap girl magazine (they don't know how)

Stand around and cry
And never wonder why
Ask themselves why
The river has dried
