Cameo in Paradise

Zeroed in on the open goal
Time is up and everything goes slow
Time for you boy to steal this show
And get people jumping for the cameo

You remember not long ago
For a crack at this you woulda sold your soul
Folk can't remember what they don't know
So get people jumping for the cameo

Get people jumping for the cameo
Get people jumping for the cameo
The kids are looking for a new hero
So get people jumping for the cameo

Zeroed in on the open goal
You can feel the tension in the terrace grow
So take a breath and let the pressure go
And get people jumping for the cameo

While in the North Stand supporters hope
Down in the concourse the hopeless mope
In the East End the street lamps glow
But through the neighbourhood no cars flow
And down the High Street no one goes
And in the offices no one knows
Until a voice on the radio
Gets people jumping for the cameo
