lets go



one man at the window

one girl at the bar

saw that look of recognition

when they know just who you are

i seen you on the tv

i seen you on that show

you make the people crazy

and then you let them go



before the show we calm them

we sympathise, we care

and the hostile folk we keep apart

til the red light says on air

did you see our leather lovers

all tied up to the chair

did you catch those child molesters

no one else goes there



what a show, the barry williams show

what a show,

dysfunctional excess

is all it took for my success

the greater pain that they endure

the more you know the show will scored

its showtime



got the reputation of a surgeon

cos they cannot feel the cut

it looks so very simple

but it really is an art

they call our studio the hospital

making money from the sick

we let people be themselves

there is no other trick



my lover stole my girlfriend

i keep beating up my ex

i want to kill my neighbour

my daughters selling sex

my s/m lover hurt me

my girl became a man

i love my daughters rapist

my lifes gone down the pan



what a show, the barry williams show

the barry williams show

dysfunctional excess

is all it took for my success

and when the punches start to fly

the ratings always read so high

its showtime



that girl has got no scruples

not a wrinkle on her face

you would not believe the plot she conceived

so theyd let her take my place

well, no man is an island

no man is a sea

but this display of emotion

is all but drowning me



what a show, oh what a show

on my show, the barry williams show

its my show

what a show

dysfunctional excess

is all it took for my success



the best tv youve ever seen

where people say the things that they really mean

i hear my name, i hear them roar

for the one more time i take the floor

just one more barry williams show

were gonna take you where you want to go

its showtime



come on down

come on down
