Claim to fame?

A pair of false eye lashes and a tube of cheap lipstick
A pair of worn out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't fit
These are all my possessions all I have to my name
And a record played in my home town is my only claim to fame

Bless.

    1. And as Laurie Anderson brilliantly observed:

      I turned on the radio and I heard a song by Dolly Parton.
      And she was singing:
      Oh! I feel so sad! I feel so bad!
      I left my mom and I left my dad.
      And I just want to go home now.
      I just want to go back in my Tennessee mountain home now.

      Well, you know she's not gonna go back home.
      And I know she's not gonna go back home.
      And she knows she's never gonna go back there...

    1. I'm no Country'n'Western fan, but there's something about Dolly that's impossible not to like...

      The last PM who was let loose with a guitar was that oleaginous twat Blair, and look where that got us! Jx
