From the band’s second album, Inside the Human Body. One of the most punk-tinged songs on the album, the lyrics deal with the positive and negative effects of fame.
In a trance in France I learned to dance
In a trance in France I learned to dance
And got me a piece of tail
They put my body in a hotel lobby
And my soul in a neon jail
Big deal
You're gonna be a big, big deal
Trained seals are always a real big deal
They put me in a cage and they put me on stage
And they told me I could never go home
The government paid for a place in the shade
And then my mouth began to foam
Big deal
Nobody cares how you feel
Big deal
You're gonna be a big big deal
All your little actions
Are just tourist attractions
And the kids are gonna gobble you up
They're gonna stand in a crowd
They will yell very loud
And they've think they've fallen
Fallen in love
I'm totally certain a big red curtain's
Gonna rise at Carnegie Hall
And everybody that I hate is
Gonna find out too late that I've become
A big deal
You're gonna be a big, big deal
Trained seals are always a real big deal
Big deal
You're gonna be a big, big deal
Trained seals are always a real big deal
A bloody mess, and I'm still bleeding
But I am alive, my heart is beating
A bloody mess, and I'm still bleeding
But I am alive, my heart is beating
Big Deal was written by Ezra Furman.
Big Deal was produced by Brian Deck.
