The Jam - To Be Someone (Didn’t We Have a Nice Time) lyrics
[The Jam - To Be Someone Didn’t We Have a Nice Time lyrics]
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, man, 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 realise 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 my 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
