To be someone must be a wonderful thing
a famous footballer or a rocksinger
or a big filmstar
yes I think that I would like, i would like that that
and to be rich and have lots of fans
and lots of girls to prove that I'm a man
and to 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 money that I spent
it is like my fame man it's quickly gone
no more swiming in my guitar shaped pool
no more reporters at my beck and call
no more cocaine it's only ground chalk
and no more taxis so we'll 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 realise i should have stuck to my guns
they spit 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 me a wonderful thing
ain't that the truth
