lyrics
Tracey was a waitress
With two kids, a heroin habit, a husband who frequented prostitutes, so
She tried out for the talent show
Queued up alongside the hopeless and hopeful
Each of them desperate to dig themselves out of a hole
Tell the whole damned world where they can go
It’s all lapped up
By a bored, boring, indolent populace
Fill their cups, up
With lager, their papers with breasts
Won’t you give it a rest?
Interviewed half in tears by a presenter
Fresh from children’s telly, with fetishes for older men
And a good spanking now and then
Tracey tells stories ‘bout singing with hairbrushes
Plays Cinderella waiting for a ball to attend
Then she breaks down and cries again
Offering crumbs
Of a dream translated from the American
To those numb, from
Bankruptcy proceedings and pregnancy tests
Won’t you give it a rest?
And your fabled 15 minutes
Will be cut down for adverts, you’ll see
Rock ‘N’ Roll stardom in easy instalments
Musical instrument sold separately
Sandwiched between the beleaguered and bitter
‘Tween has beens and harridans,
Belt buckle under his chin, Quentin ushers our Tracey in
She throws her head back, lets loose a vibrato
That rattles his molars and notifies his next of kin
His tongue sharpens behind a grin
And we all get off
Though the punishment’s cruel and unusual
Turn and softly, cough
For the man that we love to detest
Won’t you give it a rest?
Tracey’s hysterical, as they berate her
Begs for another chance, to take her place in The Sun
And prove her worth to everyone
Quentin sees something he’ll maintain is moxie
Has more to do with the zipper he’s slyly undone
Let’s take a look at what she’s won
It’s been fun,
But within a year she’s descending the alphabet
Number one, spun
Into chances to watch her undress
Won’t you give it a rest?
It’s been fun,
But within a year she’s descending the alphabet
Number one, spun
Into chances to watch her undress
Won’t you give it a...

ist are where my musical journey started and I'm still incredibly proud of the work we did. I'm sure you'll see them pop up in my new music too, as they are the best musicians I've ever worked with. Kenton Hall & The Necessary Measures
