Young driver the subject
Of paparazzi fantasy
They want him so badly
Knows what a star he’s to be
Inside him there’s longing
This guy’s an open page
Focusing, he’s so close now
This driver is half his age
Don’t stand to close to me
His teammates are so jealous
You know how bad drivers get
Sometimes it’s not so easy
To be the teacher’s pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes them cry
Wet chicane, podium’s waiting
His car is warm and dry
Don’t stand so close to me
Loose talk in the paddock
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the stewards room
The accusations fly
It’s no use
He sees red
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by ‘drian Newey

We are the crowd
We’re c-coming out
Got my flash on, it’s true
Need that picture of you
It’s so magical
Comments so fanatical
Helmet and cap
Garage meticulous
Not sure why that strap
Photo of Max before us
It don’t have a price
Ready for those flashing lights
‘Cause you know that Max I
I’m your biggest fan
I’ll follow you til ur dad slaps me
Papa-paparazzi
Boy, you’re a superstar
You know that I’ll be
Your papa-paparazzi
Promise I’ll be kind
But I won’t stop until that boy is mine
Baby, you’ll be famous
Chase you down til you turn to me
Papa-paparazzi
I’ll be your girl backstage at your show
Velvet ropes and guitars
Yeah ’cause you’re my rock star in between the sets
Eyeliner and cigarettes
Tyres are burnt
Brake car and we turn
Wet tyres of dry
Purple sectors, so fast I cry
Watching you my Samurai
‘Cause you know that Max I

The economy might tank during a lockdown, but it won’t stop the creatives to become even more annoyingly vocal.
