To be someone must be a wonderful thing
A famous footballer a 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
And lots of girls to prove that I'm a man
To be number one - and loved by everyone

Getting drugged up with my trendy friends
They really dig me, man, and i dig them
But the money that I spent, it is like my fame, and it's quickly gone

No more swimming in my guitar shaped pool
No more reporters at my beck and call
No more cocaine, now it's only ground chalk
and I can't afford a taxi so i'll have to walk

Didn't I have a nice time
Wasn't it such a nice time
I can't remember if i had a nice time

I realize I should have stuck to my guns
You shit me out just like a bastard son
And I lost myself, and I know that it was wrong
And it cost me a lot

no more drinking cos now the club shuts down
And I'm out here on my arse with the rest of the clowns
I get really scared without my bodyguard
And I'm sitting all alone in my expensive yard

Didn't I have a nice time
Wasn't it such a nice time
Didn't I have a nice time
W(Trower / Reid)

You'd better listen anybody, 'cos I'm gonna make it clear
that my life is unimportant; what I've done I did through fear
There's a river running through me: on its tide I tried to hide
nonetheless I could not shake it, and in the end it swept aside
all my feeble unimportance. I can't say it, never mind
Can't you hear me mother calling you? I'm cold, I'm deaf, I'm blind
And if only 'cos you're lucky, we both know that's no find
I did think I'd be an actor. What I am I'll leave behind

You'd better listen anybody, 'cos it's me and you --that's it
and in case you find your maker perhaps you'll plead for us a bit
All my sick is in my stomach, all my sweat is clearly fear
and if you could see inside me I don't think you'd have me here
Tell the helmsman veer to starboard, bring this ship around to port
and if the sea was not so salty I could sink instead of walk
And in case of passing strangers who are standing where I fell
tell the truth: you never knew me, and in truth it's just as well
