7.Incommunicado

(fish, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley)

I'd be really pleased to meet you if i could remember your name
But i got problems of the memory ever since i got a winner in
the fame game
I'm a citizen of legoland travellin' incommunicado
And i don't give a damn for the fleet street afficionados

But i don't want to be the backpage interview
I don't want launderette anonymity
I want my handprints in the concrete on sunset boulevard
A dummy in tussauds you'll see
Incommunicado, incommunicado, incommunicado, incommunicado

I'm a marquee veteran, a multi-media bonafide celebrity
I've got an allergy to perrier, daylight and responsibility
I'm a rootin-tootin cowboy, the peter pan, the street
credibility
Always taking the point with the dawn patrol fraternity

Sometimes it seems like i've been here before when i hear
opportunity kicking in my door
Call it synchronicity call it deja vu i just put my faith in
destiny -- it's the way that i choose

But i don't want to be a tin can tied to the bumper of a wedding
limousine
Or currently residing in the where are they now file a toupet on
the cabaret scene
I want to do adverts for american express cards talk shows on
prime time tv
A villa in france, my own cocktail bar and that's where you're
gonna find me

Incommunicado, incommunicado, incommunicado, incommunicado

Sometimes it seems like i've been here before when i hear
opportunity kicking in my door
Call it synchronicity call it deja vu i just put my faith in
destiny -- it's the way that i choose

Incommunicado, incommunicado, incommunicado, incommunicado
It's the only way
Incommunicado, incommunicado, incommunicado, incommunicado
