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 |
