Ian Dury And The Blockheads Cowboys Lyrics

Cowboys Lyrics

They say its tough out there and thats for sure

You pay your way twice
over if not more

They say thats the proce of fame, and now youve made
your name

Your freinds dont even treat you like they used to do before

They quote the man stars whove died so young

From the fermament you
seek to walk among

They tell you who went mad, who went from good to
bad

And they warn you of the dangers that await the highly strung



Who the hell are they?

And who cares what they say?

Who
only seek to worry and alarm

Dont give those dogs thier day

Dont
let them get thier way

Cos I can see that fames done you no harm



They say what you sacrifeced to be the best

Did you loose all
other perpose in your quest?

They say that fames your only goal and it
messes up your soul

And they mension Elvis Presley and youre supposed to
know the rest

They tell you cherish every minute that youre hot

So
at least yourll have some memories when youre not

They say wehn fame
becomes dispair, you abandon what you learn

Which makes it that much
harded to give up what youve got



Who the hell are they?

And
who cares what they say?

Who only deal in envy and dismay

Dont give
those dogs thier day

Dont let them get thier way

Im glad to see your
picture everywhere



They say celebrity extracts a heavy tole

That the devil soon appears to take control

They say it leads you by
the nose and they resite the names of those

Who bled apon the alter of
the demon rock n roll



Who the hell are they?

And who cares
what they say?

Who only seek to worry and alarm

Dont give those
dogs thier day

Dont let them get thier way

Cos I can see that fames
done you no harm
