[Intro - Capo 3 but don't for live] G Em G Em Am F G Em
[Verse] G Em A police car and a screaming siren, G Em Pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete, G Em A baby wailing, stray dog howling, G Em The screech of brakes and a lamp light blinking,
[Chorus] Am F That's entertainment, Am F That's entertainment,
[Instrumental] G Em G Em
[Verse] G Em A smash of glass and a rumble of boots, G Em An electric train and a ripped up phone booth, G Em Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat, G Em Lights going out and a kick in the balls, I say
[Chorus] Am F That's entertainment, Am F G That's entertainment - Ahh! Em G Em La la la la la la...
[Verse] G Em Days of speed and slow time Mondays, G Em Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday, G Em Watching the news, not eating your tea, G Em A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls, I say
[Chorus] Am F That's entertainment, Am F G That's entertainment - Ahh! Em G Em La la la la la la...
[Verse] G Em Waking up at 6am on a cool warm morning, G Em Opening the windows and breathing in petrol, G Em An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard, G Em Watching the telly and thinking 'bout your holidays,
[Chorus] Am F That's entertainment, Am F G That's entertainment - Ahh! Em G Em La la la la la la...
[Verse] G Em Waking up from a bad dream and smoking cigarrettes, G Em Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume, G Em A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac, G Em Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away,
[Chorus] Am F That's entertainment, Am F G That's entertainment - Ahh! Em G Em La la la la la la...
[Verse] G Em Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight, G Em Two lovers missing the tranquillity of solitude, G Em Getting a cab and travelling on buses, G Em Reading graffiti 'bout slashed seat affairs, I say
[Chorus] Am F That's entertainment, Am F G That's entertainment - Ahh! Em G Em La la la la la la...
Am F That's entertainment, Am F G That's entertainment - Ahh!
