Wire Lyrics

"Perspex Icon" lyrics


Is it Art or Artifice?
Can you save your prejudice?
Would you call it low or high?
Can you declare your interest?

An icon in perspex
Sustained exposure, increased risk
Perspective lost and concept shattered
Maintain your prerogative
Self-promotion, motor spinning
Palms are greased and egos flattered

Create the market
Can you find out where to park it?
Will you play your favourites?
The way lighten your pocket

An icon in perspex
Sustained exposure, increased risk
Perspective lost and concept shattered
Maintain your prerogative
Self-promotion, motor spinning
Palms are greased and egos flattered
