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 ?
