Crazy Raver - Steve Harley, Cockney Rebel

Lazy stage-star;

wanna be a raver

You’ve gotta make it all happen insane

Crazy raver;

wanna be a big star

You’ve gotta make it all happen again

You want it easy but you don’t understand

They’ll crush your diamonds in a one-night stand

You’ll be a Biggie then you’ll be a nobody-at-all

So while you’re there you’d better show us a ball

And wear your sequins or wear nothing at all

Take us to heaven with our backs to the wall

The climbing’s hard but it’s easy to fall

Oh!

here’s a monkey with a message for us all

Go be a Crazy Raver, oh!

oh!

yeah

Go be a Crazy Raver

Maybe lady;

wanna be my baby

Go to heaven in your satin and lace

Crazy baby, gotta dress so shady

Then come and meet me in some far-out place

We’ll go together like water and sand

Be seen together walking hand-in-hand

A pair of swells who’ve got nothing to do but romance

You’ll be a rhapsody, The Belle o’the Dance

Become a stir and play the public nuisance

Ascend a stairway up to Paris in France

Become the lady of the Dietrich stance

Then pick the one of your nouveau fancy

And be a Crazy Raver

And be a Crazy Raver
