THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT
The Jam
Capo on 3
[ G][Em][G][Em]
[ G] A police car and
a [Em] screaming siren
[ G] Pneumatic drill
and [Em] ripped up concrete
[ G] A baby wailing,
[Em] stray dog howling
[ G] The screech of
brakes and [Em] lamp light blinking
[ Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment,
[ Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment [G][Em][G][Em]
[ G] The smash of glass
and the [Em] rumble of boots
[ G] An electric train
and a [Em] ripped up phone booth
[ G] Paint splatters
walls and the [Em] cry of a tomcat
[ G] Lights going out
and a [Em] kick in the balls
I say [ Am] that's enter-[F]-tainment,
[ Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment, [G] Ah [Em][G] la, la, [Em] la
[ G] Days of speed and
[Em] slow time Mondays
[ G] Pissing down with
rain on a [Em] boring Wednesday
[ G] Watching the news
and not [Em] eating your tea
[ G] A freezing cold
flat, and [Em] damp on the walls
I say [ Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment,
[ Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment [G][Em][G][Em]
[ G] Waking up at 6am
on a [Em] cool warm morning
[ G] Opening the windows
and [Em] breathing in petrol
[ G] An amateur band
rehearsing in a [Em] nearby yard
[ G] Watching the telly
and [Em] thinking about your holidays
[ Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment,
[ Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment [G]Ah [Em][G] la, la, [Em] la
[ G] Waking up from
bad dreams and [Em] smoking cigarettes
[ G] Cuddling a warm
girl and [Em] smelling stale perfume
[ G] A hot summer's
day and [Em] sticky black tarmac
[ G] Feeding ducks in
the park and [Em] wishing you were far away
[ Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment,
[ Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment [G][Em][G][Em]
[ G] Two lovers kissing
amongst the [Em] scream of midnight
[ G] Two lovers missing
the tran-[Em]-quility of solitude
[ G] Getting a cab and
[Em] travelling on buses
[ G] Reading the grafitti
about [Em] slashed seat affairs
I say [ Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment,
[ Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment [G]Ah [Em][G] la, la, [Em] la
