A camera for every man, woman and child! Spotlight glare of glassy eye, to document your life! A once in a lifetime offer, for your whole lifetime, whether you like it or not.
Forget yer fifteen minutes, for everbody's famous now, famous all the time, a never ending reality soap of unprecedented proportions, each comic moment of your tragic life watched in glorious faded colour: a mosaic of low definition screens twinkling with all real lives all the time!
A short change sitcom: set in the fags and chocolate world of the shop down the road, a hundred bit parts recorded over, like the snooker, if they don't see that starring role with the shifty fingers. Worn tape replaced for tomorrow's new, must see extravaganza.
You're Famous: On CCTV
And the digital feed at the local bank, a quiz show with your own money as prize, watch as the contestants perform monotonous tasks at the hosts command and their faces light up when they "win".
You're Famous: On CCTV
The hustle and bustle of city centres and side streets, a thousand movies all at once, a thousand heroes, a thousand screens.
You're Famous: On CCTV
So dance and sing, act, perform: show big brother that you're A Star. Throw your finest clothes on your back, chin raised, teeth shining, your moment has arrived, every moment. Everybody's famous forever.
