lyrics
i did it all for the business of show
hair and make-up
you were the blonde in the front of the row
lips all played up
under a spell that night
of a spotlight’s glare
on me yeah!
every line from my lip, every note from my hand was
for you only
no other sound since singing began
felt so holy
the heat of your eyes on me
was all i needed
to fly
(oooh! ooooh! ooooh!)
the business of show will kill me i know
but i go on anyway
without this source i am out of sorts
divorced and far away
after the set in the lobby i spied your
leather jacket
i rushed through the crowd to the end of the line just
so i could grab it
ooh! then our wires touched
cheeks went blush heartbeats rushing
with desire
we do it all for the glitter and shine those
magic moments
the gift and the curse of the business of show
there’s no difference
hair and make-up
you were the blonde in the front of the row
lips all played up
under a spell that night
of a spotlight’s glare
on me yeah!
every line from my lip, every note from my hand was
for you only
no other sound since singing began
felt so holy
the heat of your eyes on me
was all i needed
to fly
(oooh! ooooh! ooooh!)
the business of show will kill me i know
but i go on anyway
without this source i am out of sorts
divorced and far away
after the set in the lobby i spied your
leather jacket
i rushed through the crowd to the end of the line just
so i could grab it
ooh! then our wires touched
cheeks went blush heartbeats rushing
with desire
we do it all for the glitter and shine those
magic moments
the gift and the curse of the business of show
there’s no difference

Cried happy tears on the first listen. So many amazing lines. So many great musical choices. Can’t wait to hear these songs live when TMG return to the UK. The pirate’s life for me.
