Don’t have to be a movie star 
For me to like you as you are 
Don’t have to buy me diamond rings 
I’ll be satisfied with anything 

Shine that spotlight over here 
Lend me all your pretty ears because 
Soon this show will end 

If they say hurry, or take it slow 
It don’t matter cuz you know where to go 
Left down the avenue, right up the street 
Even hot pavement will be cool to your feet 

Don’t have to be a movie star 
For me to like you as you are 
Don’t have to buy me diamond rings 
I’ll be satisfied with anything 

Set lights flash from hidden towers 
Lines that last for hours and hours 
But this time they want you 

A few weeks later, the film is complete 
Now the whole nation wants a box office seat 
Who would have guessed you had the golden touch? 
The greatest sensation since Starsky and Hutch 

Don’t have to be a movie star 
For me to like you as you are 
Don’t have to buy me diamond rings 
I’ll be satisfied with anything 

Send that fan mail to the ghetto 
Sing that alto in falsetto 
Then let me shake your hand 

Roll the red carpet, make sure you’re in view 
A standing ovation is sure to ensue 
Pose for the cameras and wave when you laugh 
Cuz someone might want your autograph 

Don’t have to be a movie star 
For me to like you as you are 
Don’t have to buy me diamond rings 
I’ll be satisfied with anything 

You may need a long vacation 
To mend this weary situation 
And shades to hide your eyes 

There ain’t no ticket to get on this train 
The ride comes free with fortune and fame 
Conductor don’t carry no aces or spades 
He already knows that your dues have been paid

The Egyptian Swing

A work in progress...
Through the fair I wait, to know just what's at stake... and no~one knows what's gone until it's there... and that is just so very unfair. Through the fair I wait.

here's a version with orchestration by freddiehangoler http://soundcloud.com/heidi-harris-1/unfair-with-freddiehangoler

start early/finish late 

i want a skinny girl 
with perfect breasts 
who waits on my love 
and doesn't need to be impressed 

start early, finish late 

give me a woman 
who speaks no language 
doesn't know the meaning 
of the word damaged 

start early, finish late 

some scrawny waif 
some little nothin chick 
who's probably a model 
workin on her doctorate 

start early, finish late

Start Early / Finish Late
