Little Man, What Now? Lyrics

     An afternoon nostalgia
     television show
     you spoke in silhouette
     (but they couldn't name you)
     although the panel were
     very polite to you
     but I remembered you
     from Friday nights 1969
     ATV - you murdered every line
     too old to be a child star
     too young to take leads
     four seasons passed
     and they AXED you
     nervously juvenile
     (WON'T SMILE!)
     What became of you?
     did that swift eclipse torture you?
     a star at eighteen
     and then-suddenly gone
     down to a few lines
     in the back page of a teenage annual
     oh but I remembered you
     I looked up to you
