Pete Townshend - Stardom in Acton lyrics

Stardom in Acton that's all they got.

Stardom in Acton that's all they got.

Stardom in Acton that's all they got.

Just like the grub that wriggles to the top of the mass

I'm the first to get hooked

Just like the stub of that long cigarette full of hash

I'm the last to get booked.

But I'm capable

My loves inescapable

Conquering lethargy

I've got energy

Stardom-I want a hit

Want my tan, want my cash, want my innocence

Stardom-I want a script

Want my band, want my stash, want omnipotence

I'll go where the senescent soldier retires

And shiver in south California

Watching the storms and the tangling wires

And rivers that meet on the corner

Like some prostitute

Handing round the loot

I am not ashamed

I will stake a claim

Stardom-born in a trunk

Got my home, got my car , got stability

Stardom-I'm Hollywood's son

All alone don't admire anonymity

I'm so angry that you turned me on

I didn't remain your friend for too long

I'm so angry that you turned me on

I didn't stay your friend for too long

I'm so angry that you let me see

My totally futile destiny

I'm so angry-you interrupted my dream

Now I know that the power rests in me.

Stardom-I want a hit

Want my tan, want my cash, want my innocence

Stardom-I want a script

Want my band, want my stash, want omnipotence

Stardom-born in a trunk

Got my home, got my car , got stability

Stardom-I'm Hollywood's son

All alone don't admire anonymity

Stardom in Acton that's all they got.

Stardom in Acton that's all they got.

Stardom in Acton that's all they got

Stardom in Acton that's all they got
