[Intro]
    G   Em7    Em
    G   Em7    Em
    Am7 FM7/C
    G   Em7    Em

[Verse 1]
G                  Em7       Em
A police car and a screaming siren
G                     Em7       Em
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
G                  Em7       Em
A baby wailing and stray dog howling
G                         Em7        Em
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking


[Chorus]
Am7         FM7/C
That's entertainment 
Am7         FM7/C 
That's entertainment  
G   Em7   Em   


[Verse 2]
G                      Em7       Em
A smash of glass and a rumble of boots 
G                       Em7       Em
An electric train and a ripped up phone booth 
G                              Em7      Em
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat 
G                      Em7         Em
Lights going out and a kick in the balls, I say

 
[Chorus]
Am7         FM7/C
That's entertainment 
Am7         FM7/C       G
That's entertainment,   Ahhh,
Em7           Em  G        
Sha la la la, la, la-ah
Em7           Em  G
Sha la la la, la, la-ah


[Verse 3]
G                 Em7       Em  
Days of speed and slow time Mondays 
G                 Em7              Em  
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday 
G                         Em7         Em  
Watching the news and not eating your tea 
G                        Em7         Em  
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls, I say


[Chorus]
Am7         FM7/C
That's entertainment 
Am7         FM7/C     G  
That's entertainment,   
Em7           Em    G      
Sha la la la, la
Em7           Em  
Sha la la la, la 


[Verse 4]
G                     Em7       Em  
Waking up at 6am on a cool warm morning 
G                       Em7          Em  
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol 
G                               Em7    Em  
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard 
G                      Em7                 Em  
Watching the telly and thinking 'bout your holidays 


[Chorus]
Am7         FM7/C
That's entertainment 
Am7         FM7/C       G
That's entertainment,   Ahhh,

Sha la la la, la, la-ah
Em7           Em  Am7  
Sha la la la, la, la-ah
FM7/C     
La la la la, 
G   Em7   Em   


[Verse 5]
G                              Em7     Em  
Waking up from a bad dream and smoking cigarettes 
G                        Em7            Em
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume 
G                      Em7          Em
A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac 
G                             Em7              Em 
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away 


[Chorus]
Am7         FM7/C
That's entertainment 
Am7         FM7/C       
That's entertainment     
G   Em7   Em   


[Verse 6]
G                              Em7       Em  
Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight  
G                      Em7            Em
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude 
G                 Em7           Em
Getting a cab and travelling on buses 
G                      Em7          Em  
Reading graffiti 'bout slashed seat affairs, I say


[Chorus]
Am7         FM7/C
That's entertainment 
Am7         FM7/C         G
That's entertainment,   Ahhh,
Em7           Em  G        
Sha la la la, la, la-ah
Em7           Em  G
Sha la la la, la, la-ah
Em7           Em  Am7        
Sha la la la, la, la-ah
FM7/C         G
La la la la, 

Em7           Em  G        
Sha la la la, la, la-ah  (repeat to fade)
