Description
A song from Celebrity Torture.
Graeme Hobbs wrote the lyrics and sung me one verse with the instructions, and I quote, "one riff, flog it to death, My Old Man's A Dustman"
This is what happened.
Possibly one of the few songs on MJ with a middle 8 of tubular bells, uke, tuba and spoons (and probably quite a good thing it is the only one)
I was aiming for a Spike Jones / Bonzos organised chaos but I think I just got the chaos :)
It's a bit rough but I'm fed up with playing with it now as I'll rework when Graeme sings it.

Hello Magazine © Graeme Hobbs 2008
The Stars in Heaven shining
But they ain't got that sheen
as the stars that are appearing
in Hello magazine
We're other worldly creatures
Bursting with our self esteem
and you're no-one if you've never been
in Hello magazine
Like Kraftwerk showroom dummies
made of wax'n'plasticine
just put us in our poses
in hello magazine
Dressed in some design creation
by some dotty fruity queen
I'll be wearing on the pages
of Hello magazine
It's money masturbation
that is sure to make me cream
you'll be coming over pages
of Hello magazine
Gala balls and functions darling
places to be seen
and you never have to spread your legs
for Hello magazine
My home of gilt and marble
I'm sure you're absolutely green
Even though it's dead and soulless
just like Hello magazine
I'm from a carnival of horrors
and I'm so rich that it's obscene
Come and see me with the other freaks
in Hello magazine
We've got it and we flaunt it
and it's hard luck if we're mean
cuz we're smug and smarmy bastards here
in Hello magazine
It's glossy big and shiny
But somehow it feels unclean
The pornography of wealth portrayed
in Hello magazine
The Stars in Heaven shining
But they ain't got that sheen
as the stars that are appearing
in Hello magazine
We're other worldly creatures
Bursting with our self esteem
and you're no-one if you've never been
in Hello magazine
Like Kraftwerk showroom dummies
made of wax'n'plasticine
just put us in our poses
in hello magazine
Dressed in some design creation
by some dotty fruity queen
I'll be wearing on the pages
of Hello magazine
It's money masturbation
that is sure to make me cream
you'll be coming over pages

Gala balls and functions darling
places to be seen
and you never have to spread your legs
for Hello magazine
My home of gilt and marble
I'm sure you're absolutely green
Even though it's dead and soulless
just like Hello magazine
I'm from a carnival of horrors
and I'm so rich that it's obscene
Come and see me with the other freaks
in Hello magazine
We've got it and we flaunt it
and it's hard luck if we're mean
cuz we're smug and smarmy bastards here
in Hello magazine
It's glossy big and shiny
But somehow it feels unclean
The pornography of wealth portrayed
