To Be Someone (Didn't We Have A Nice Time)

To be someone must be a wonderful thing A famous footballer a rock singer Or a big film star yes, I think I would like that To be rich and have lots of fans Have lots of girls to prove that I'm a man And be number one And liked by everyone Getting drugged up with my trendy friends They really dig me and I dig them And the bread I spend is like my fame, it's quickly diminished And there's no more swimming in a guitar shaped pool No more reporters at my beck and call No more cocaine, now it's only ground chalk No more taxis, now we'll have to walk But didn't we have a nice time? didn't we have a nice time? Oh wasn't it such a fine time? I realize I should have stuck to my guns Instead shit out to be one of the bastard sons And lose myself I know it was wrong, but it's cost me a lot And there's no more drinking when the club shuts down I'm out on me arse with the rest of the clowns It's really frightening without a bodyguard So I stay confined to my lonely room But didn't we have a nice time? didn't we have a nice time? Oh wasn't it such a fine time? To be someone must be a wonderful thing --- To Be Someone (Didn't We Have a Nice Time) - The Jam
