(I Never Wanted) to Be a Star
I was seventeen,You were working for Matthew and Son,The Beatles met the Queen, and I wroteI'm gonna get me a gun, yeah, yeahIt was like a dream in the star machine,Oh, no, izitso, izitso?
I never wanted to be a star,I never wanted to travel farI only wanted a little bit of loveSo 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 heartYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I was on the road,Sleeping between lorry lights, oh noStone-drunk and cold,Heading into a bad night, yeah, yeahJust another bean in the star machine, hi ho,Here I go, here I go
I never wanted to be a starBuy my mum a Ferrari carI only wanted to run my own race,So I could win a small place in your heartYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nature found a way,It picked me up off the dark side, yeah, yeahShowed 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 farI only wanted a little bit of loveSo I could put a little love in my heart
