[Wilkes, Arthurs] 2012 recorded by Parlour Flames [Alan Wilkes & Paul Arthurs] engineered by Dave Fyfe, at Bones Place, Hale, Manchester

lyrics

Please let me in let me into the club
I'm a famous face not the one you're thinking of
Years ago I looked a bit like him
I was younger then handsome and slim
Now I'm waiting at the nightclub door
Flashing this ID from 1984
When I played guitar and I played the fool
Travelled the world I broke every rule

I'm sorry sir I've never heard of you
So take your place at the back of the queue
I'm sorry sir its just the house rules
The policy of the establishment can appear a little cruel

Did I tell you I was on Top of the Pops
I met Ruby Flipper and Sam Fox
I've got my very own radio show
I'm exactly the kind of person you ought to know
I've slept with three thousand women in my life
I have a wonderfully understanding wife
She's at at home with the kids doing the chores
She loves every single one of my come back records

I'm sorry sir I've never heard of you
So take your place at the back of the queue
I'm sorry sir its just the house rules
The policy of the establishment can appear a little cruel

Ok I can see we're not getting anywhere here
I want to speak to the manager I want to make myself clear
This kind of thing never happens to me
You'll regret it just wait and see

I'm sorry sir I hear what you say
But its more than my job is worth so please just go away
I'm sorry sir heres the back of the line

You had your fifteen minutes now its someone else time....
