Paparazzi - Jethro Tull

Paparazzi, can’t make the man

Paparazzi, can’t break the man

Next to the transit lounge

See the Paparazzi tears

No-one came in today

From Boston or Tangiers

And in departures ---

Only faceless trippers trip

Loaded with duty free

Held in white knuckle grip

Snap it up, flash away ---

Steal a camel for a day

Break the story in heavy type ---

The news is running late tonight

Be-decked with Nikon necklaces

Hear the Paparazzi cries

Under their noses walk

The famous in disguise

Conspicuously huddled there

But no-one stops to look

They’ve got their crayons out

To colour in the book

Snap it up, flash away ---

Steal a camel for a day

Break the story in heavy type ---

Paparazzi won’t be home tonight

Paparazzi --- write it down

Paparazzi --- turn it around

Paparazzi --- take it, fake it

Break it

'Cos it’s a story

Now someone’s cut the lines

Communication’s down

All photo film is fogged

Celebrities surround

And jab their fingers at me

They kiss but I can’t tell

Even poor Paparazzi

Must have privacy as well

Snap it up, flash away ---

Steal a camel for a day

Break the story in heavy type ---

The news is running late tonight

Snap it up, flash away ---

Steal a camel for a day

Break the story in heavy type ---

Paparazzi won’t be home tonight
