    1984
    Royal festival hall
    All those lamenting the loss of soft cell, a few years ago were in for the most awesome performance. Marc in his sequined Jacket singing You have, Jeoy demento, I will never forget that moment. And he eventually got a MBE, the same guy that the sun news paper tried to destroy. He is the only reason I feel completely flambouyant.

But he also has a very loyal fan base, the likes of people who were 14 when tainted Love came out and now are over 50. When Marc sings the sun shines for me

    Trying to please
    All these people around me
    Is trying to reach for the moon
    (The Moon)
    I see their faces looking so empty saying
    I hope that they'll finish soon
    (So Soon)
    Could be a chat show
    (Yap Yap Yap)
    Could be a go go
    Reaction would be the same
    (The Same)
    So here I go
    Though why I don't know
    Trying to prove myself again
    Entertain me
    I'm as blank as can be
    And I've seen it before
    And I've done it before
    And I think that I like it
    But no I don't like it
    It just goes on over and over
    And over and over and over again
    I try to give them all of my best
    And it's taking a turn for the worst
    (Oh No)
    Things going wrong
    Start to sing the wrong song
    I think that we must be cursed
    (You Betcha)
    Playing the wrong tune
    Hitting the wrong note
    This is where my nerves become frayed
    It's falling apart
    Why did we ever start
    And do you think we'll be paid
    (No No)
    Entertain me
    I'm as blank as can be
    And I've seen it before
    And I've done it before
    And I think that I like it
    But no I don't like it
    It just goes on over and over
    And over and over and over again
    Over and over again
    Build 'em up, knock 'em down (x5)
    I see a movement
    Down in the front row
    Maybe it's just a mistake
    She's smiling at me
    (Hello)
    But he's frowning at me
    (Goodbye)
    Which conclusion
    Do I make
    Fold all your arms
    And look straight ahead
    At this puppet on a string
    You're feeling confused
    But you've made a decision
    You don't like anything
    Entertain me
    I'm as blank as can be
    And I've seen it before
    And I've done it before
    And I think that I like it
    But no I don't like it
    It just goes on over and over
    And over and over and over again
    Build 'em up, knock em down (x4)
    Entertain me
    I'm as blank as can be
    And I've seen it before
    And I've done it before
    And I think that I like it
    But no I don't like it
    It just goes on over and over
    And over and over and over again
