That's Entertainment
Capo on 3rd fret
[Intro]
G  Em  G  Em  Am  F  G  Em
[Verse]
GA police car and a Emscreaming siren,
GPneumatic drill and Emripped up concrete,
GA baby wailing, Emstray dog howling,
GThe screech of brakes and a Emlamp light blinking,
[Chorus]
AmThat's enterFtainment,
AmThat's enterFtainment,
[Instrumental]
G Em G Em
[Verse]
GA smash of glass and a Emrumble of boots,
GAn electric train and a Emripped up phone booth,
GPaint splattered walls and the Emcry of a tomcat,
GLights going out and a Emkick in the balls,
I say
[Chorus]
AmThat's enterFtainment,
AmThat's enterFtainment - GAhh!
EmLa la Gla la la Emla...
[Verse]
GDays of speed and Emslow time Mondays,
GPissing down with rain on a Emboring Wednesday,
GWatching the news, not Emeating your tea,
GA freezing cold flat and Emdamp on the walls,
I say
[Chorus]
AmThat's enterFtainment,
AmThat's enterFtainment - GAhh!
EmLa la Gla la la Emla...
[Verse]
GWaking up at 6am on a Emcool warm morning,
GOpening the windows and Embreathing in petrol,
GAn amateur band rehearsing in a Emnearby yard,
GWatching the telly and Emthinking 'bout your holidays,
[Chorus]
AmThat's enterFtainment,
AmThat's enterFtainment - GAhh!
EmLa la Gla la la Emla...
[Verse]
GWaking up from a bad dream and Emsmoking cigarrettes,
GCuddling a warm girl and Emsmelling stale perfume,
GA hot summer's day and Emsticky black tarmac,
GFeeding ducks in the park and Emwishing you were far away,
[Chorus]
AmThat's enterFtainment,
AmThat's enterFtainment - GAhh!
EmLa la Gla la la Emla...
[Verse]
GTwo lovers kissing amongst the Emscream of midnight, 
GTwo lovers missing the Emtranquillity of solitude,
GGetting a cab and Emtravelling on buses,
GReading graffiti 'bout Emslashed seat affairs,
I say
[Chorus]
AmThat's enterFtainment,
AmThat's enterFtainment - GAhh!
EmLa la Gla la la Emla...
AmThat's enterFtainment,
AmThat's enterFtainment - GAhh!
