   Here today
  Gone this afternoon
  Another tune
  We almost remember
  What's the story
  Sex and drugs again
  Business as usual
  The clock's already ticking
  La la la la
  When he was young
  Staring at the TV
  He watched the fun
  Happenin' to other people
  Now they scream
  As they run after him
  Like a dream
  Like Elvis and the Beatles
  A three minute song is all he wrote
  He only did it for a joke
  They played him on the radio
  From Tokyo to Timbuktu
  A three minute boy, ain't that somethin?
  They named their children after him
  The good times rolled beneath his feet
  He skipped along the one-way street
  She's a pretty girl
  She don't know how it started
  She made a movie
  He almost remembered
  She measured up
  They moved into a basement
  "We're so in love!"
  They giggled to the nation
  La la la la
  Three minute millionaire they said
  The numbers rattled round his head
  They spun him three times round the globe
  She waited patiently at home
  And all the pretty girls wanted him
  In places that he'd never been
  Too much love will do you in
  Forgive Forgive Forgive Forgive
  Yeah Yeah Ooo
  Three minute kid is here again
  Surrounded by three minute friends
  He found someone to understand
  To shock the world and hold his hand
  No religion, No restrain
  No direction, No complaints
  No future and No way out
  No time to think about it
  All the moneys gone
  He don't know what they spent it on
  Girlfriends gone off with the jag
  Gone back to her mum and dad
  He's curled up on the studio floor
  He just can't do it anymore
  The flashgun went off without warning
  He'll read about it tomorrow morning.
  She's goin' out with someone "new"
  In this week at number two
  Three minute boy aint that somethin.
