Ahhh see
right see the thing
that's got it all
f**ked up now
is camera-phones
How the hell am I
supposed to be able
to do a line
in front of
complete strangers
When I know
they've all got cameras?
When you're a famous boy
it gets really easy
to get girls
It's all so easy
you get a bit spoilt
so when you try to
pull a girl
who is also famous too
It feels just like when
you wasn't famous
The celebrity pages
in papers don't tell tales
that are always
to the line of the truth
It's till a line at which
most likely you'll have
the time or enough
finance to sue
Which is why it's so
frightening buying papers
in the morning
fearing the next
Mike Skinner scoop
'Cos I used to believe
what I read
so now I know
that others will believe
that it's true
But I realised with you
the truth could be
a whole lot worse
than the flack
My whole life I never
thought I'd see
a pop star smoke cr**k
And I must admit
I was quite shocked
with that thing you did
with me on my back
But outside in the lobby
I shouldn't have laughed
when you slapped
that man
When you're a famous boy
it gets really easy
to get girls
It's all so easy
you get a bit spoilt
So when you try to
pull a girl
who is also famous too
it feels just like when
you wasn't famous
'Cause you was so much
fun I really got to like you
more than you liked me
I really hoped
that you'd stay
Considering the amount
of prang you'd done
you looked amazing
on CD:UK
You learn dances
do promos
cameras flashing
get in the van
and zoom away
I wake up high
dizzed my beat
feel hung over
and sorry for
my doomed day
But I know I got
a bit close to you
and that you found it
f**king boring
You taught me so much
about how to deal
with the fire
I'd fallen in
And what version
of a rumour
would next day
be everyone's
story of me
You taught me
all the realities
and turn a page
and ignore 'em
When you're a famous boy
it gets really easy
to get girls
It's all so easy
you get a bit spoilt
So when you try to
pull a girl
who is also famous too
It feels just like when
you wasn't famous
Anyway
I had to rest my beer hat
delete my dealer's number
and unroll my bank notes
And we were on
borrowed time anyway
what with the daily
toilet papers not knowin'
And I knew that
when the people who
thought they knew you
when they found out
I would've been mocked
Which is ironic
'cause in reality
standing next to you
I look f**king soft
Whenever I see you
on MTV
I can't stop
my big wide smile
And past the
children's appeal
I see the darkness behind
We both know the
scratches on my back
much better than
the alludes and the lies
I miss the b*tchin'
and the shoutin'
but I'm glad
I got out in time
When you're a famous boy
it gets really easy
to get girls
It's all so easy
you get a bit spoilt
So when you try to
pull a girl
who is also famous too
it feels just like when
you wasn't famous
You can't keep
f**king popstars
we've got a f**king
business to run
There are industry
repercussions Michael!
I know!
