When You Wasn't Famous

When You Wasn't Famous - The Hit Co.

Ah, see, right see the thing

That's got it all f**ked up

Now is camera phones

How the hell am I supposed to

Be able to do a line

In front of complete strangers

When I know they've all got cameras?

When you're a famous boy

It gets really easy to get girls

It's all so easy, you get a bit spoilt

So when you try to pull a girl

Who is also famous too

It feels just like

When you wasn't famous

The celebrity pages in papers

Don't tell tales

That are always to the line of the truth

It's till a line at which most likely

You'll have the time

Or enough finance to sue

Which is why it's so frightening

Buying papers in the morning

Fearing the next Mike Skinner scoop

'Cause I used to believe what I read

So now I know that others will

Believe that it's true

But I realized with you the truth canbe

A whole lot worse than the flack

My whole life I never thought I'd see

A pop star smoke crack

And I must admit I was quite shocked

With that thing you did with me

On my back

But outside in the lobby,

I shouldn't have laughed

When you slapped that man

When you're a famous boy

It gets really easy to get girls

It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt

So when you try to pull a girl

Who is also famous too

It feels just like

When you wasn't famous

You were so much fun

I really got to like you more than

You liked me

I really hoped that you'd stay

Considering the amount of

Prang you'd done

You looked amazing on CD UK

You learn dances, do promo,

Cameras flashing

Get in the van an' zoom away

I wake up high, dizzy feel, hung over

And sorry for my doomed day

But I know I got a bit close to you

And that you found it f**king boring

You taught me so much about

How to deal with the fire I'd fallen in

And what version of a rumor

Would be next day everyone's story of me

You taught me all the realities

And turn the page and ignore them

When you're a famous boy

It gets really easy to get girls

It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt

So when you try to pull a girl

Who is also famous too

It feels just like when you wasn't famous

Anyway I had to rest my beer hat

Delete my dealer's number

And unroll my bank notes

And we were on borrowed time anyway

What with the daily toilet papers not knowing

And I knew that when the people

Who thought they knew you

When they found out,

I would've been mocked

Which is ironic, 'cause in reality

Standing next to you I look f**king soft

Whenever I see you on MTV

I can't stop my big wide smile

And past the children's appeal

I see the darkness behind

We both know the scratches on my back

Much better than the alludes and lies

I miss the bitchin' and shoutin'

But I'm glad I got out in time

When you're a famous boy

It gets really easy to get girls

It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt

So when you try to pull a girl

Who is also famous too

It feels just like when you wasn't famous

You can't keep f**king popstars

We've got a f**king business to run

There are industry repercussions, Michael

I know
