--->And it breaks my heart that we're not on the chart\\
'cause the record's nearly over when the vocals start\\
And I'm down and out, and I'm down on my luck\\
And I'm livin' on my own and I'm dying for a f-''riend'' to say "You're great!"\\
But I'm under the hammer\\
'cause all I seem to do is s-s-s-st--
** Another example. In this case, people expect to hear 'nineteen'
--->Well no-one's ever seen what I mean\\
From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n-thirteen
*** ...and yet again, misdirected 'No Sleep 'til Brooklyn' lyrics:
--->NO! SLEEP! 'TIL BEDTIME!
** The B-side of this record, "Another Boring B-Side", contained this double example, where the first averted rhyme becomes the set-up for the second:
-->If the A-side makes a hit
-->We don't care if this is missed
-->'Cause the sooner we get finished
-->The sooner we get home
** The follow-up, the Music/StockAitkenWaterman parody "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XKDTOiNqdE This is the Chorus]]" opens
-->This is a disco hit,\\
And writing four every week is our own claim to fame,\\
Though they may be sh....ure to get you dancing,\\
No-one seems to mind that they all sound the same.
