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