Jam - To Be-someone lyrics

To be someone must be a wonderful thing<br>A famous footballer a rock singer<br>Or a big film star, yes I think I would like that<br>To be rich and have lots of fans<br>Have lots of girls to prove that I'm a man<br>And be no. 1 - and liked by everyone<br><br>Getting drugged up with my trendy friends<br>They really dig me and I dig them<br>And the bread I spend - is like my fame - it's quickly diminished<br><br>And there's no more swimming in a guitar shaped pool<br>No more reporters at my beck and call<br>No more cocaine it's only ground chalk<br>No more taxis now we'll have to walk<br><br>But didn't we have a nice time -<br>Didn't we have a nice time<br>Oh wasn't it such a fine time<br><br>I realize I should have stuck to my guns<br>Instead shit out to be one of the bastard sons<br>And lose myself - I know it was wrong - but it's cost me a lot<br><br>And there's no more drinking after the club shuts down,<br>I'm out on me arse with the rest of the clowns<br>It's really frightening without a bodyguard<br>So I stay confined to my lonely room
