Ellen Randall: Music

Important Man

(Ellen Randall)
You think you’re a celebrity
The man everybody wants to be
You’re always in a rush
Strutting your stuff
You can never get enough

An important man
Important work
Important people to see
And you haven’t got the time
The time for me

You’re wearing a cool veneer
To cover your nagging fear
Always ready to attack
Can’t let your self relax
No one covering your back

An important man
Important work
Important people to see
And you haven’t got the time
The time for me

What did you think?
You’d have love all your life?
You’re entitled
German cars and French women
The envy of your friends
Hanging out in Paris
Meant to have it
What did you think?
What did you think?

Polishing your pedigree
Dropping names so casually
Your eye on the prize
Easier in disguise
You believe your own lies

An important man
Important work
Important people to see
And you haven’t got the time
The time for me

What did you think?
You’d have love all your life?
You’re entitled
German cars and French women
The envy of your friends
Hanging out in Paris
Meant to have it
What did you think?
What did you think?

You’re fooling everybody else
Working to convince your self
But you’re still alone
No love of your own
Calling strangers on the phone

An important man
Important work
Important people to see
And you haven’t got the time
The time for me
And you haven’t got the time
The time for me
