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
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

Supposedly about Jack Wilde a star of ATV's "Look Familiar".
A devoted fan thinks about a washed up actor. He wonder what the future will bring for this young man.
Little Man, What Now ?, a German film released in 1934, based on a book written by Hans Fallada.
Last line should be "I remembered you", please correct that
OK, hear me out, so many people say too many of Morrissey's songs are about Johnny Marr, but I think this one actually is. It wouldn't be too far-fetched as he has actually said 'angel, angel' on this album is about him, and I think this song has a similar sentiment, ie. he/both of them are going to fade into obscurity after the smiths. 'four seasons passed and they axed you' - 4 smiths albums 'a star at 18 then suddenly gone' - Johnny's age when the smiths were formed.
