about

The star in question was 'Sting'. I can't remember what the award was. It may or may not be significant that, originally, it was virtue that was proverbially its own reward. Anyway, the man then took off his shirt and played 'Message in a Bottle', thereby adding insult to injury.

lyrics

I saw a star win some award
He made a speech I could not applaud
He said: Music is its own reward
But he don't know what it means
While it rings out in your every chord
You are the kings and queens

She writes the songs that no one hears
He wonders why he perseveres
They've been in this band for 20 years
Since they were in their teens
When all ambition disappears
You are the kings and queens

I guess you could call her a trite kind of Muse
But she brooks no disobeying
You never neglected to pay her her dues
And you're still paying

A better world will come to pass
With Keith retained to fill your glass
While you give Lou a masterclass
And David cooks and cleans
Let Sony kiss your royal arse
When you're the kings and queens
And you are the kings and queens
