Random fact about song
In the Daily Mail, April 13, 2007, Just Jack said: "The song is about the celebrity machine. When Michelle McManus won Pop Idol, everyone was saying it was great, because she had won because of her voice and wasn't being penalized for the fact she was a big girl. Then, just a few weeks later, there were lots of unflattering photographs of her in a swimsuit in Heat magazine. She went from being celebrated to being ridiculed in a really short space of time. It's a cautionary tale, telling people to be careful of believing in TV." (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 2)

They'll be making sure you stay amused
They'll fill you up with drugs and booze
Maybe you'll make the evening news

And when you're tripping over your dreams
They'll keep you down by any means
By the end of the night
you'll be stifling your screams

Since you became a VI-Person
It's like your problems have all worsened
Your paranoia casts aspersions
On the truths you know

And they'll just put you in a spotlight
And hoping you'll do alright
Or maybe not

Now why'd you wanna go and put
starz in their eyes
Why'd you wanna go and put
starz in their eyes
So why'd you wanna go and put
starz in their eyes
Now why'd you wanna go and put
starz in their eyes
Starz in their eyes

Remember they said you'd show them all
Emphasize the rise but not the fall
And now you're playing a shopping mall

Your mum and dad they can't believe
What you appear to have achieved
While the rest of these users are just laughing in their sleeves

Since you became a VI-Person
It's like your problems have all worsened
Your paranoia casts aspersions
On the truths you know

And now the tabloids use your face
To document your fall from grace
And then they'll tell you that
that's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes

Now why'd you wanna go and put
starz in their eyes
It's the same old story
well they just didn't realize
And it's a long way to come
from the dog and duck karaoke machine
And saturday night's drunken dreams

Now why'd you wanna go and put
starz in their eyes
It's the same old story,
well they just didn't realize
And it's a long way to come
from your private bedroom dance routines
And saturday night's drunken dreams

Now why'd you wanna go and put
starz in their eyes
Why'd you wanna go and put
starz in their eyes
So why'd you wanna go and put
starz in their eyes
Now why'd you wanna go and put
starz in their eyes
Starz in their eyes

Now why do you wanna go and
put starz in their eyes?
It's the same old story
well they just didn't realize
And it's a long way to come
from the dog and duck karaoke machine
And saturday night's drunken dreams

(When I grow up I'm going to be famous)

Behind the steel barrier
and sequence and glitter
Five inch heels still knee deep in the litter
Each of them a bitter bullshitter,
Wrapped up in the cloak of fake glamour, getting lost in the camera
Well footprints are fools gold, diamonds crusts on their one off plimsolls
So little time for these one off arseholes
Rigor mortis Ken and Barbie dolls
A pair of big shades and a push up bra
It's such a short gap between
the gutter and stars
That you've come a long way
from the place that you started
So why'd you wanna go
and get so down hearted

Welcome to the kingdom of the blagger
Uncutting you nose clean, coating you bladder
A whole lot happier a whole lot sadder
Used to be satisfied
but now you feel like Mick Jagger

Now why'd you wanna go and put
starz in their eyes
It's the same old story,
well they just didn't realize
And it's a long way to come
from the dog and duck karaoke machine
And saturday night's drunken dreams

Now why'd you wanna go and
put starz in their eyes
It's the same old story,
well they just didn't realize
And it's a long way to come
from your private bedroom dance routines
And saturday night's drunken dreams
