The Jam - To Be Someone (didn't We Have A Nice Time) lyrics

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 no. 1 - 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 c**aine 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 sh** out to be one of the ba*tard sons And lose myself - i know it was wrong - but it's cost me a lot And there's no more drinking after 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
