Lyrics Graham Parker

Graham Parker

Success

The dreams and hopes of men are powered by addiction

And who am I to say that this is an affliction

When everybody gets suckered in and lives their lives like fiction

Writing their own stories of success

They say they want you for your colourful evocation

The way you turn a cliche into a sensation

But all they ever wanted was that same vibration

The one that shimmers round success

Success success

Success success

Success success

Success success

All you ever need:

Success

You can't be happy while someone else has a fistful

They glow from TV screens healthy strong and fiscal

And everybody slaps their back while you're alone with a wristful

Jerking to the rhythm of success

Success success

Success success

Success success

Success success

All you ever need:

Success
