This was James' first single and is about the music industry i think.. a slightly recurring theme for Tim in the early days - look up Johnny Yen. some of the lyrics printed above are wrong though.
should read something like:
"what will you sell,
with the glasses and suit,
heart and soul, wont wear out?
that's not enough,
i want what's inside.
take the fish fillet knife
and cut right through my eyes.
I'm looking for some words to call my own.
not worn out phrases and hand-me-downs.
They'll mock me on where i stand.
A bug on its back in a corned beef can.
Going under, you can feel them pulling you down
to the rust inside.
This is the way a new star is born
From those bits and pieces others have worn
All held together by a management glue
Too much glue and watch your stars turn blue...
going under, you can feel them stripping you down
to the holes inside."
