I was seventeen, you were working for
|
Matthew and Son,
|
The Beatles met the Queen, and I wrote
|
I'm gonna get me a gun, yeah, yeah
|
It was like a dream in the star machine,
|
oh, no, izitso, izitso?
|
I never wanted to be a star, I never wanted
|
to travel far
|
I only wanted a little bit of love
|
So I could put a little love in my heart
|
I never wanted to be la-de-da, go to parties
|
'avec le bourgeois'
|
I only wanted to sing my song well,
|
So I could ring a small bell in your heart
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
|
I was on the road, sleeping between lorry
|
lights, oh no
|
Stone-drunk and cold, heading into a bad
|
night, yeah, yeah
|
Just another bean in the star machine, hi ho,
|
here I go, here I go
|
|
I never wanted to be a star buy my mum a
|
Ferrari car
|
I only wanted to run my own race,
|
So I could win a small place in your heart
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
|
Nature found a way, it picked me up off the
|
dark side, yeah, yeah
|
Showed me another day, it made me sing
|
'I think I see the light'
|
Not another bean in the star machine, oh no,
|
this time I won't go
|
I never wanted to be a star, I never wanted to travel far
|
I only wanted a little bit of love
|
So I could put a little love in my heart
|
