The Rise And Fall Of A Superstar - Original Song

You've brought us the sunshine To children and mothers and working class fathers The press would follow you day and night And we'd buy the records and you entertained us You turned out to be a star of the screen Surrounded by glory When they all came down to see you All the marquee lights would shine Yes, you were the top attraction of your time At your shows they had a good time Now you're laying in your bed 'Cause fortune's is now gone and so is fame You've lived such a fun life We'd listen to the radio, wait for you and sing along And we'd buy all the magazines You were the one, the only one who got us through our teenage years You turned out to be a star of the screen Surrounded by glory But you, you've lost it all Time flew so fast You thought it would last. As you go down to the theatre Not a seat is taken now Though you still can see the lights and hear the crowd There's no poster with your name there And no hidden TV crew No press to write about the concert or about you You look at photos, the people you've seen You think of all the places, the places you've been You think of all the girls you've met, the ones that loved you You think of all the screaming fans, the ones that scream for you But you don't have that no more It's your final curtain call As you go down to the theatre Not a seat is taken now Though you still can see the lights and hear the crowd There's no poster with your name there And no hidden TV crew No press to write about the concert or about you
