To Be Someone


To be someone must be a wonderful thing
I could be a footballer, a rocksinger
Or a big filmstar, yes I think that I would like
I would like that
To be rich and have a lot of fans
And a lot of girls to prove that I'm a man
And to be No. 1 - loved by everyone
Getting drugged up with my trendy friends
They really dig me, man and I dig them
But the money that are spent- it is like my fame - man, it is quickly gone

No more swiming in my guitar shaped pool
No more reporters at my back and call
No more cocaine, now it's only ground chalk
And I canīt afford a taxi so Iīll have to walk

Didnīt I have a nice time -
Wasn't it such a nice time -
I canīt remember if I had a nice time

I realize I should have stuck to my guns
But you spit me out just like a bastard son
And I lost myself - and I know that it was wrong - and it cost me a lot
No more drinking cos now the club shuts down
And Iīm out here on my arse with the rest of the clowns
I get really scared without my bodyguard
And I'm sitting all alone in my expensive yard

Didn't I have a nice time -
Wasn't it such a nice time -
Didn't I have a nice time -
Wasn't it such a nice time -
I canīt remember if I had a nice time 

To be someone must be a wonderful thing
