Not Ralitsa Vassileva
Dinner table chattering classes -
Tells us all we need to know
Like it. Lump it. Dig it. Dump it -
On your late, late show
And do you think you're Ralitsa Vassileva?
You're just hand-me-down news in a cookie jar
It's a long way from here to CNN in America
And a red-eyed opinion too far
Dish the dirt or dish the gravy
Spill the beans to me
Sinking fast in terminal boredom –
Feigned interest flying free
And do you think you're Ralitsa Vassileva etc
Talking monkey, breaking news junkie, tragedies to reveal
Light and breezy, up-beat squeezy, close in to touchy-feel
Pass the Merlot, dance the three-step
Cut to a better chase
Align yourself with no proposition
And simpler thoughts embrace
Let's talk about me. Let's talk about you
In a world of private rooms
Hide awhile from dark stormbringers –
Sad messengers of doom
Sadly, you can't be Ralitsa Vassileva, .....
And do you think you're Ralitsa Vassileva, .....
