To be someone must be a wonderful thing

A famous footballer or rock singer

Or a big film star

Yes I think that I would like I would like that

To be rich and have a lot of fans

Have lots of girls to prove that I'm a man

To be no.1 and liked by everyone

Getting drugged up with my trendy friends

They really dig me man and I dig them

And the money that I spend

It is like my fame that it's quickly gone

No more swimming in my guitar shaped pool

No more reporters at my beck and call

No more cocaine it's only ground chalk

No more taxis now we have to walk

But didn't we have a nice time

Yeah wasn't it such a nice time

Didn't we have a nice time

I realize I should have stucked to my guns

They shit me out just like a bastard son

And I lost myself

And I know that it was wrong but it cost me a lot

There's no more drinking when the club shuts down

I'm out here on my arse with the rest of the clowns

I'm really scared without my bodyguard

And I'm sitting on my own in my expensive yard

But 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

Did I have a nice time

Did I have a nice time

I can't remember if I had a nice time

To be someone must be a wonderful thing

Ain't that the truth ?
