Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous - Momus

When you’re up

Everybody wants your babies

Photographs by the paparazzi

Joyrides in his Mazerati

Invites from every arty fashion victim

To every warehouse party

I’m not blind, I’ve seen you shine

When he’s around

And I’ve watched all your desire

With fascination

Watched its satisfaction

And lying alone in bed I’ve read the book he sent us

'The Rules of Attraction' by Bret Easton Ellis

Fame, power, the love of women

I’m wrong the world is right

Stock, Aitken and Waterman

Margaret Thatcher and Sigmund Freud

Lifestyles of the rich and famous

When you’re up everybody wants your babies

And where we lived could’ve been bigger

And what I earned a much higher figure

That didn’t seem important, I’m a little disappointed

But I’m trying not to get bitter

I’m not blind, I’ve seen you shine

When he’s around

And I’ve watched all your desire

With fascination

Watched its satisfaction

And lying alone I’ve read 'Success' by Martin Amis

And 'The Rules of Attraction' by Bret Easton Ellis

Fame, power, the love of women

I’m wrong the world is right

Stock, Aitken and Waterman

Margaret Thatcher and Sigmund Freud

Lifestyles of the rich and famous

Lifestyles of the rich and famous

When you’re up …

Goodbye to the 1980s

Who’s going to love you, baby?

Who’s going to love you, baby?

Everybody wants your …

Everybody wants your babies

When you’re up!
