about
MUSICmw Publishing is proud to present "Teleprompted Freak Show" by Matthew Wilson. This is a rewrite/mix of a track that I recorded with the funk outfit Strange Bargain around the turn of the millennium.
lyrics
They never leave me alone.
Won't let me sleep.
Wanna kiss my wrinkled feet.
A polaroided keepsake.
But kind sir what is the overwhelming,
Fascination in a freak like me?
I've never been that attractive,
And I've never had a pretty smile.
Never been on the cover of a magazine.
'Ll never drive a fast car,
But you know I'm gonna be a star.
Baby come on give me a kiss.
I'm a want, I'm a wanted man.
You may never get another chance.
So take it while you can.
Sweetheart won't you tell me how it feels,
To be with the one and only.
I've never been that attractive,
And I've never had a pretty smile.
Never been on the cover of a magazine.
'Ll never drive a fast car,
But you know I'm gonna be a star.
I know I'm not the cutest boy around,
In fact, sometimes I scare myself.
But hey, don't let that change your opinion,
Of me and you and you and me,
'Cause time could tell.
I've never been that attractive,
And I've never had a pretty smile.
Never been on the cover of a magazine.
'Ll never drive a fast car,
But you know I'm gonna be a star.
I've never been that attractive,
And I've never had a pretty smile.
Never been on the cover of a magazine.
'Ll never drive a fast car,
But I know I'm gonna be a star.
