A face for radio

Verse

People had never seen him.

They had only heard his songs.

Then along came video.

The studio said, so long.

Pre chorus

A star has to look the part.

A good voice alone won’t do.

Without the looks to match his voice.

His days on top were thru.

Chorus

He could spell bind you with his voice.

He made albums that went gold.

His songs were hits and topped the charts.

He had a face for radio.

Verse

His fans deserted him in the droves.

They applaud pretty faces.

Now the only place he sings songs

Is in honkytonk places.

Pre chorus

A star has to look the part.

A good voice alone won’t do.

Without the looks to match his voice.

His days on top were thru.

Chorus

He could spell bind you with his voice.

He made albums that went gold.

His songs were hits and topped the charts.

He had a face for radio.

Bridge

Talent took a backseat.

On the TV screen.

The pretty boys and girls.

Dominate the scene.

Piq's points are valid, although in this kind of song listeners might well be prepared to quell their thirst for verisimilitude:)

Anyway. You get the point. I think theres a song to sing but this one obviously misses the mark.

Theres a lot of talent out there who's looks or age keeps them from being relent in todays video driven market.
