Blah blah everyday / move those people far away Even the quiets loud / surrounded like a massive crowd Empty - I just want to empty - my head yeah Life gets seedier / suck on social media Hang on every word / why is every message blurred Empty - I just want to empty - my head yeah Chorus Just some peace and quiet - but all I hear is a riot Social media noise / made specially for you girls and boys Influencers paid / reputations fade Misinformation crime / getting to us all the time Empty - I just want to empty - my head yeah Chorus Hey, hey what’s that sound - everybody knows what’s going down My head yeah, my head yeah, my head yeah

So the space junk is floating by - of course the seas look almost dry And the forests are burning bright As we exit the atmosphere - my birthday treat is here Weightless and served with wine, it’s so divine, where do we draw the line? Chorus Mars - stopping at all the bars - speeding amongst the stars - we're on our day-trip to Mars I’m so lucky to be up here - indulging my greatest fear And we’re leaving you all behind. Yes the hedonists wave goodbye - while the hungry beneath us cry And the bombing repeats below, to Mars we go, yes, its a real show Chorus

It’s the same old story All love and glory It’s the never not knowing The coming and going What a drag / like in a soap star mag You wear your heart on your sleeve Your soul in the gutter The prettiest hearts you melt like butter What a wag / got it in the bag Chorus The smile on your face / looks out of place You’d like to think that all of this should matter Help I’m so afraid / of the selfish plans you’ve made Maybe we should have a knit and a natter.... You’re a 21st Century Exposé So you’re changing your name / just chasing fame Lots of Glam / go easy man On the paint - like you’re a Warhol Saint Chorus

24/7 on Dandy’s Dive The coolest, Glam-est Juke box jive Scott, The Voltz and Creem play inside rock me, roll me Wham and a Bam and a thank you mam Suzi Q can Can the Can I’m your toy - 20th Century boy - rock me, roll me Chorus I dreamt I was the greatest Glam Rock Star Stage right of Ronno playing 12 string guitar Strutting on the cover of Electric Warrior I dreamt I was the greatest Glam Rock Star Fix my teeth and straighten my nose Carnaby street for my glitter clothes White heat gets me down to my toes Virginia Plain said ‘What’s your name?’ Mystery City’s on my dial again Queen of the scene was Judy Teen - rock me, Harley Chorus I dreamt I was the greatest Glam Rock Star Stage left of Bowie playing Ronno’s guitar Chauffeur to Amanda with her tethered jaguar I dreamt I was the greatest Glam Rock Star Chorus I dreamt I was the greatest Glam Rock Star Calling all the young dudes with Ian Hunter Singing all the harmonies on Blockbuster I dreamt I was the greatest Glam Rock Star

Hold onto your heroes Stamp them to your mind How can we be so blind? - when we can see We’re desperate to meet them Afraid of what we’ll find So honestly unkind till we despair, there’s nothing’s there, as if they care,as if they care....... Chorus No show, no go Second Date There’s no encore, screams for more to celebrate It’s a no show, no go Second Date It’s a no show, no go, endless wait Love your heroes Place them in your heart Make sure you're never apart - you never leave Beware the false messiahs Whose sound comes round and round Drives you underground till you have found - there's nothing there, as if they care, as if they care Chorus I've loved all my heroes And I've placed them in my heart I've made sure we're never apart - that we never leave Sold out on your money Take from them their tat Oh just fancy that they’ve upped and gone, I’m all alone, just stuck at home, still an unknown........... Chorus

Singers dropping lyrics on the floor The dancers enter from the exit door Each musician plays a different score - they play me…… play me Where there’s silence in this mixed up world When the flag of different colours is unfurled And away the rocks of prejudice are hurled Play me - play me Laying back in our memories Are the film shows of the past Full of tears and floods of fear I’ll help you persevere Where the future feels so very blurred When you’re struggling to be heard If you want to say something but can’t find the words play me……play me.....just play me
