A song called "Main Attraction" by The Streets. In the 70's...

Hi,

I have this song titled "Main Attraction" and the artist is "The Streets". It is a classic rock kind of song, and obviously not by the well-known Streets fronted by Mike Skinner.

I've had this song for years, I must have downloaded it from somewhere at some point, so I don't know if it's mis-labled or whatnot.

I really want to find out more about the band and song. Maybe someone knows it? I've googled everywhere for the lyrics, etc, but can't find anything, and I know how to use Google.

Some of the lyrics go like this:

Lights, camera, action /
I could see myself --- pulling through /
Well now there's... [unknown] /
And I was... [unknown] /

Did I hear you say /
I was the main attraction /
Did I hear you say /
I stole the show /

Went out in to all the kind of action /
And now that you can... [unknown] /

What's it going to bother me /
When the cameras... [unknown] /
Want to be with my family /
If I could only find the time /

Well it's a crazy world /
With a whole lot happening /
So keep it together... [unknown] /
Well now to get the things you been getting /
You gotta go it right, you gotta lead a one way life

I didn't intend to post the whole lyrics but I did. It has two male singers at the end. If anyone has it on and old LP or something, I'd really appreciate knowing about the band more. It's a killer track!

Thanks

The other band called the Streets was fronted by Steve Walsh, and their musical genre sounds about right, but I've been through their back catalogue and can't find your track.
You may have this already, but here's some info:

[Dr Wu]

I've just found it on limewire.

4 clicks on the drum sticks then into a jolly upbeat almost folk-rock guitar, strange staccato vocals almost half spoken, a bit Steve Harley/Steve Forbert ish (it's not either of them!)

Harmonies are off-key, very little production...I just wonder if it's a demo or a semi-pro band.

Sorry mate, I haven't the foggiest!!

Thanks for the help so far guys... I'd never seen that Wikipedia page - I also checked the discogs of all the other bands he'd been involved in, but no luck.

Dr Wu sounds right though, it sounds more like a demo or something.

If anyone else has any more info I'd be most grateful!
