"Marriage Made In Hollywood" - Paul Brady
Jim[G]my's not a high concept guy[C]
But he's front[G] page news, let me tell you why[Em]
H[D/F#]e's on the cover of the New York[G] Post[C]
Eve[G]ry network, coast to[D] coast
[G]All he needed was a hot night in June[C]
[G]'Cause he had the needle and he had the spoon[Em]
[D/F#]When he spiked it bit, and man, he [G]flew[C]
[G]Into America's living[D] room
(Chorus:)
[D]We all love tragedy, and it loves us too
[D]It's a marriage made in Hollywood between greed and you
[G]All you need to be a star is to die in open view, It's a marriage made in Hollywood
[G]Between greed a[C]nd you[D]
[G]Between greed an[C]d you[G]
Loved by women, admired by men
He walked down broadway with his best friend
His brain was wired like a light in a socket
With his old friend in his back pocket
That horse could kick, that horse could scream
Ride you out of here into a different scene
Unrequited love, and that makes it fair
But who keeps score when you're in mid-air?
(Chorus)
Like a free-fall chute that didn't open
He looked down to see his dream was broken
He stared back up at a hot grey sky
Re-ran his life and then he died
Well if you jump off a building, brother beware!
'Cause my friend Jimmy woke up mid-air
No time to smile, no time to wave
They buried him in a media grave
(Chorus)
