[Verse 1]
Don't talk of dust and roses
Or should we powder our noses?
Don't live for last year's capers

[Chorus]

Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool us, someone like you
Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool, someone like you
Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool, someone like you
[Outro]
We want you Big Brother
