Iggy Pop - V.I.P. Lyrics
I'm a Very Important PersonI park in the V.I.PAnd when I go to the bathroom,i go in the V.I.P toiletAnd when I wanna change a lightbulb,I don't do it myself... Oooohhh no...I have a technicianCause I'm a V.I.PI'm a V.I.PI'm a V.I.PI'm a V.I.PNow, as I began to become a V.I.P,i forgot what i've become a V.I.P forI began to grow accustomed to people saying"Right this way sir...drinks are on the house..."Flight attendants on airplanes saying :"Please...Really, I don't wanna bother you sir, but it's such a pleasure to have you on board.May I have your autograph for my daughter ?""Yeah baby right after I go to the toiletI i'll give you a couple of'emCause i'm a V.I.P!"Now,one thing about V.I.P is,is they never seem to be aloneOoohh no !The "true" V.I.P must travel with an entourage !People who say "Right on boss"Cause it's a V.I.P!Right on bossI'm a V.I.P!As i began to realise that i had gained V.I.P status,worries began to creep inWhat if one day,i woke up,and i was no longer a V.I.P ?No more good tables at the restaurants...No more strange women smiling and approaching me on the streets...No more top notch bootyNo more entourage to say "Right boss"I began to have nightmaresAnd in my nightmares, I was just a *****ing nobody.Laying at the beach, imagining myself being a VIP !Just like i was before...Hearing the applause in my headBeautiful warm embraces of superior members of the female gender...V.I.PV.I.POf course, when one becomes a V.I.P,One meets other V.I.PsAt social occasions...And one inevitably thinks :"thck ! How shallow and crass these people are !They're not down to earth and real like me...Oooohhh no ! I'm a very special V.I.P"Another interesting phenomenon, associated with V.I.P celebrityhood, is the "V.I.P reflection effect", during which anyone associated with the V.I.P, becomes a sort of V.I.P in their own right ! Such as "son OF the V.I.P","guitar player FOR the V.I.P","girlfriend WITH the V.I.P","accountants of the V.I.P"The maid, the dog, the music publisher ...huh !All enjoy a sort of 'reflected glory', as in.."Hi this is NasteaI work for IggyAnd i'd like 6 tables tonight in the V.I.P sectionAnd he needs passes for everyoneAnd free drinks of courseIn the V.I.P area"Right on bossCause i'm a V.I.P.It's also true that when one is a V.I.P, everybody's happy to see you... All the time !And there's an implicit rule that a V.I.P must never- neverBe on a barn.Cause everybody expects YOU to make their dayAnd they're all be on to you if you're in a bad mood.They will "thck!tchk!tchk ! mur mur mur mur mur!",And you will find yourself with the wrong kind of attention:A "difficult" V.I.P.Psychologists tell us that a sense of self-esteemIs so necessary in today's world.As a V.I.P, I can guarantee you, you'll never be alone.You'll never be alone.Cause you're a V.I.P!
