The phone stopped ringing one day
When the record company's plan failed
Someone made a big mistake
Giving you a chance
Now someone's gonna lose their job
The thing about good reviews
Is that you can buy them
If the price is right
Advertising department
Marketing scheme
No one buys your records
"Album of the decade" is the advertising slogan
But only one copy has been sold
Someone made a big mistake
Giving you a chance
Now someone's gonna loose their job
The thing about the charts
Is that you can buy number one
If the price is right
Advertising department
Marketing scheme
No one buys your records
The same street
You walk back home
Frozen plants under the ice
Footprints in the snow
In a rented flat
There's no one again
