Amateur Hour (Lyric Read) Lyrics by Neil Gaiman

The Sparks Brothers: Music from the Motion Picture

2021

Amateur Hour
Lawns grow plush in the hinterlands
It's the perfect little setting for the one-night stands
Now the drapes are drawn, and the lights are out
It's the time to put in practice what you've dreamed about
She can show you what you must do
To be more like people better than you
Amateur hour goes on and on
When you turn pro you know
She'll let you know
Amateur hour goes on and on
When you turn pro
You know, she tells you so
Girls grow tops to go topless in
While we sit and count the hairs that blossom from our chins
Our voices change at a rapid pace
I could start a song a tenor, and then end as bass
Choose your partners everyone
If you hesitate, the good ones are gone
Amateur hour goes on and on
When you turn pro you know
She'll let you know
Amateur hour goes on and on
When you turn pro
You know she tells you so
Dance, laugh, wine, dine, talk and sing
But those cannot replace what is the real thing
It's a lot like playing the violin
You cannot start off to be Yehudi Menuhin
Amateur hour goes on and on
When you turn pro you know
She'll let you know
Amateur hour goes on and on
When you turn pro
You know she tells you so
End
It's actually, an awful lot more, crystalline, than it ever was to me reading those lyrics, reading it out loud and you go "oh, yes that's actually what it's about"
