I was seventeen you were working for Matthew and Son The Beatles met the Queen, and I wrote, IÂŽm gonna get me a gun Yeah yeah it was like a dream in the star machine
Oh, no izit so, izit so?
I never wanted to be a star I never wanted to travel far I only wanted a little bit of love So I could put a little love in my heart I never wanted to be la di da Go to parties avec le bourgeois I only wanted to sing my song well So I could ring a small bell in your heart Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I was on the road sleeping between lorry lights, oh no Stone drunk and cold, heading into a bad night yeah yeah Just another bean in the star machine Hi ho here I go
Here I go
I never wanted to be a star, buy my mum a Ferrari car I only wanted to run my own race So I could win a small place in your heart Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
But nature found a way It picked me up off the dark side yeah yeah Showed me another day It made me sing, I think I see the light Not another bean in the star machine Oh no, this time I wonÂŽt go
I never wanted to be a star I never wanted to travel far I only wanted a little bit of love
