'STARDOM IN ACTON'
Written by Pete Townshend
Stardom in Acton that's all they got.
Stardom in Acton that's all they got.
Stardom in Acton that's all they got.

Just like the grub that wriggles to the top of the mass
I'm the first to get hooked
Just like the stub of that long cigarette full of hash
I'm the first to get booked.
But I'm capable
My loves inescapable
Conquering lethargy
I've got energy

Stardom-I want a hit
Want my tan, want my cash, want my innocence
Stardom-I want a script
Want my band, want my stash, want omnipotence

I'll go where the senescent soldier retires
And shiver in south California
Watching the storms and tangled wires
And rivers that meet on the corner
Like some prostitute
Handing round the loot
I am not ashamed
I will stake a claim

Stardom-born in a trunk
Got my home, got my car , got stability
Stardom-I'm Hollywood's son
All alone don't admire anonymity

I'm so angry that you turned me on
I didn't remain your friend for too long
I'm so angry that you turned me on
I didn't stay your friend for too long
I'm so angry that you let me see
My totally futile destiny
I'm so angry-you interrupted my dream
Now I know that the power rests in me.

Stardom-I want a hit
Want my tan, want my cash, want my innocence
Stardom-I want a script
Want my band, want my stash, want omnipotence

Stardom-born in a trunk
Got my home, got my car , got stability
Stardom-I'm Hollywood's son
All alone don't admire anonymity

Stardom in Acton that's all they got.
Stardom in Acton that's all they got.
Stardom in Acton that's all they got
Stardom in Acton that's all they got

Churchfield Road hasn't changed much, although Acton's full of ragheads now thanks to that mosque they built behind the Clare Inn pub.

HRL labratories out of Malibu have abducted a beautiful young woman born in Ventura and from clandestine subterranean labs in Grants Pass, Oregon (Rogue Valley) and via synthetic telepathic/neuro-impulse weapons have sold her, most likely, to the Mormons. A gorgeous young woman who should be married to some retired professional athlete and living in Manhatten Beach, CA raising children is instead bar hagging in GP for shitty Israel2 secret weapons programs. She looks like the vonnage girl.
