To Be Someone (Didn't We Have A Nice Time)

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

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 **ged 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 coc*ine 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*t 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
