lyrics

The lead guitarist would make a scene, couldn’t get his guitar in key
Grabbed it said I’d sort it out, had a smoke walked around
Gave it back never touched the pegs, same every night again and again.
It’s nice to be made a fuss of

Support band crew jump up and down in a tiny bit of space we set up around them
You can lug our gear leave our settings, don’t dare touch the mixing desk
And if we spare you a spotting light when you start late don’t go over time
It’s nice to be made a fuss of

CHORUS
Is that your face on the poster?
Is that your name up in lights?
Who’s here to headline the show?
And who’s just filling in time?

It’s nice to be made a fuss of

CHORUS

Gaffa the drummer to his stall, make sure he don’t fall off
For the singer a sidestage bucket just in case he needs to chunder
A mattress behind the keyboardist spot for every time he nodded off
It’s nice to be made a fuss off

Sashimi prawns only for the singer, bands allowed leftovers when he’s finished
Your donut isn’t big enough? You want a seat on the plane up the front?
When soundcheck gets put on hold, you can go down the shop for a chicko roll
It’s nice to be made a fuss off
