Silent Film Star Lyrics
Your delicate condition
As any fool can tell
The camera wouldn't tell a fib
You're making love to no one else
You're fragile and you're difficult
An artist in every sense
It's the dialogue I can live without
Hurry up, my place or his
You ought to be a silent film star
Keep that pretty little trap shut
You ought to be a silent film star
Keep that pretty trap shut
(Coming attraction)
Everybody sees you coming
You're as subtle as a battering ram
The foreign press is watching you undress
Just like a paid program
You ought to be a silent film star
Keep that pretty little trap shut
You ought to be a silent film star
Keep that pretty little trap shut
You're power drunk with passion
A fact I can't ignore
We don't dare ask for your photograph
You couldn't bear lying in some drawer
You ought to be a silent film star
Keep that pretty little trap shut
You ought to be a silent film star
Keep that pretty little trap shut
As any fool can tell
The camera wouldn't tell a fib
You're making love to no one else
An artist in every sense
It's the dialogue I can live without
Hurry up, my place or his
Keep that pretty little trap shut
You ought to be a silent film star
Keep that pretty trap shut
You're as subtle as a battering ram
The foreign press is watching you undress
Just like a paid program
Keep that pretty little trap shut
You ought to be a silent film star
Keep that pretty little trap shut
A fact I can't ignore
We don't dare ask for your photograph
You couldn't bear lying in some drawer
Keep that pretty little trap shut
You ought to be a silent film star
Keep that pretty little trap shut

hm interesting song. My guess is it's about a girl who wants to get famous, like see her name in hollywood lights, so she starts posing nude to get ahead. I think the guy singing the song is also an artist of some sort who also wants fame, but isn't willing to sellout for it. I think he's trying to tell the girl, if she gets famous like this, no one will ever take her seriously, she's only a pretty face
There is no serenity when you post something 3x :) As for the song, I don't believe it has to be about someone famous. He's not very happy with her big mouth.
