Fifteen Minutes Lyrics

Cover art for Fifteen Minutes lyrics by Kirsty MacColl

This is so about Big Brother! Kirsty saw it all! 'Suzy-Ann with her tits and curls' is Melanie. The 'vicious boys' are Alex and Nasty Nick. The 'boring girls' are Penny and Anna. 'It's a bozo's world' refers to Helen and Jade. All the Big Brother people appear 'in Sunday papers every week' at some point. And they all probably will end up on Blankety Blank, after having their 15 minutes of fame. It's basically about how celebrity-obsessed modern society is. (NB apologies to any Americans who read this!)
