What The People Don't See Lyrics

The girls get so excited,
The boys can't get enough,
Mr. Business has invited you to show the world your stuff,
It's the express train, one way, moving so fast,
You better make it quick 'cause the attention don't last.

You've got it,
I'm sure,
But I've seen it all before,
And I wonder,
Secretly,
How I see What The People Don't See.

The competition is such a sight to be seen,
But you've got to be good looking to get on the silver screen,
You're today's sensation,
But tomorrow's looking bleak,
Now you've got to get them out to make it through to next week.

What The People Don't See

This song was a originally a B-side to The Strypes debut single "Blue Collar Jane." Producer Chris Thomas hadn't heard the tune because the band did it with Squeeze member/Strypes mentor Chris Difford. They re-recorded the track for Snapshot after Thomas asked for another song for the album. Vocalist Josh McClorey told NME: "We'd sort of written it off but Chris was asking for another song so we played him that. Now we're very happy with it."

What A Shame Lyrics

They dug the shade of his mop
They liked the way that he spoke
They flew him out of the sticks
And out him up in the smoke
They gave him chocolate and cheese
They told him he was the next
Young son to some young life
Straight from the crest
The way he spat at his mic
His lyrics couldn't be fresher
They said he'd be a superstar
If he could handle the pressure
After they put it to paper
They took him to tea
And told him just a couple changes
That they wanted to see

Oh What A Shame
But it's easy, can't you see?
Oh what a shame
That they won't ever let you be

They said his hair would be better
If he colored it black
And that he wouldn't sound as harsh if he could tone it all back
They dressed him up in a craze
To make him look pretty
They said the kids would dig
If he looked like he came from the city
They listened back to his cut
His music was tight
But if he changed a couple lyrics
In the chorus it might
Sound fresher than ever
A radio hit
And all the ladies will sing it
When they get into the pit

Oh what a shame
But it's easy, can't you see?
Oh what a shame
That they won't ever let you be, no!

Oh what a shame
But it's easy, can't you see?
Oh what a shame
That they won't ever let you be

What A Shame

Vocalist Josh McClorey explained the song's meaning to NME: "It's about the music industry, and the way people are pushed around. We've already seen it, when record labels want to change the thing that was the reason they signed the band in the first place."
