Big Audio Dynamite – Hollywood Boulevard lyrics

The Messiahs of the milk bar
Hellraisers to the end
Had a drop to many
In a toast to all their friends
Movie stars and writers
Are present a to z
Now these ain't common people
They're personalities

And they've all got a story
Tattle talk from Tinseltown
Some of them survivors
Others gone to ground

There's Brendan B and Hunter T
What's a poet got to say
Hunter's looking for a story
About the ira
Lenny isn't laughing
He nearly lost his life
A transexual from the Transvaal
Slipped in as his wife

It's a star studded scandal
So raise your glass my friend
The Messiahs of the milk bar
Hellraisers to the end

And they've all got a story
Tattle talk from Tinseltown
Some of them survivors
Others gone to ground

Bukowski wants to talk
But he's had too much to drink
Threw up in the piano
'Cause he thought it was the sink
Little Richard and Sal Dali
Singing out of key
Both hallucinated
The Sandoz was for free

Osbornes at a party Colin Wilson's on the line
Saying listen Johnny Baby
That catchphrase is mine"

Flynn and Reed in conversation
Reowned throughout the land
Used a calculator
Workout who's the better man
Now Errols' got the looks
And Ollis' got the strenght
One is talking numbers
And the others' talking lenght

Fattys feeling frisky
Orders more champagne
Women run out screaming
"Oh no not again!"

And they've all got a story
Tattle talk from Tinseltown
Some of them survivors
Others gone to ground

It's a star studded scandal
So raise your glass my friend
The Messiahs of the milk bar
Hellraisers to the end

The Messiahs of the milk bar
Hellraisers to the end
