That's Entertainment

The Jam

A police car and a screaming siren -

A pnuematic drill and ripped up concrete -

A baby wailing and stray dog howling -

The screech of brakes and lamplights blinking -

that's entertainment.

A smash of glass and the rumble of boots -

An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth -

Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat -

Lights going out and a kick in the balls -

that's entertainment.

Days of speed and slow time Mondays -

Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday -

Watching the news and not eating your tea -

A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls -

that's entertainment.

Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning -

Opening the windows and breathing in petrol -

An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard -

Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays -

that's entertainment.

Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes -

Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume -

A hot summers' day and sticky black tarmac -

Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were faraway -

that's entertainment.

Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight -

Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude -

Getting a cab and travelling on buses -

Reading the grafitti about slashed seat affairs -

that's entertainment.
