Streets - When You Wasn't Famous lyrics
rate meAhhh see... Right see the thing that's got it all f*cked up now is camera-phones. <br />
How the hell am I supposed to be able to do a line in front of complete strangers, when I know they've<br />
All got cameras? <br />
<br />
When you're a famous boy, it gets really easy to get girls, <br />
It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt. <br />
But, when you try to pull a girl, who is also famous too, <br />
It feels just like when you wasn't famous. <br />
<br />
The celebrity pages in papers don't tell tales that are always to the line of the truth. <br />
It's 'til a line (of coke) at which most likely you'll have the time, or enough finance to sue. <br />
Which is why it's so frightening buying papers in the morning fearing the next Mike Skinner scoop. <br />
'Cos I used to believe what I read, so now I know that others will believe that it's true <br />
But I realised, with you the truth could be, a whole lot worse than the flack. <br />
My whole life I never thought I'd see, a pop star smoke crack. <br />
And I must admit I was quite shocked, with that thing you did with me on my back. <br />
But, outside in the lobby, I shouldn't have laughed when you slapped that man. <br />
<br />
When you're a famous boy, it gets really easy to get girls, <br />
It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt. <br />
But, when you try to pull a girl, who is also famous too, <br />
It feels just like when you wasn't famous. <br />
<br />
You were so much fun, I really got to like you more than you liked me, <br />
I really hoped that you'd stay. <br />
Considering the amount of prang you'd done, you looked amazing on cd...uk. <br />
You learn dances, do promo, cameras flashing, get in the van, zoom away (reeeoow). <br />
I wake up high, DOES MY BEAT feel hung over and sorry for my doomed day. <br />
But I know I got a bit close to you, and that you found it f*cking boring. <br />
You taught me so much about how to deal with the (?). <br />
And what version of a rumour would be next day everyone's story of me. <br />
You taught me all the realities and "turn the page & ignore 'em". <br />
<br />
When you're a famous boy, it gets really easy to get girls, <br />
It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt. <br />
But, when you try to pull a girl, who is also famous too, <br />
It feels just like when you wasn't famous. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I had to rest my beer hat, delete my dealer's number and unroll my bank notes. <br />
And we were on borrowed time anyway, what with the daily toilet papers not knowin'. <br />
And I knew that when the people who thought they knew you, when they found out, I would've been mocked. <br />
Which is ironic, 'cos in reality, standing next to you I look f*cking soft. <br />
Whenever I see you on MTV, I can't stop my big wide smile. <br />
And past the "children's appeal", I see the darkness behind. <br />
We both know the scratches on my back, much better than the alludes and lies. <br />
I miss the bitchin' and shoutin', but I'm glad I got out in time. <br />
<br />
When you're a famous boy, it gets really easy to get girls, <br />
It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt. <br />
But, when you try to pull a girl, who is also famous too, <br />
It feels just like when you wasn't famous. <br />
<br />
You can't keep f*cking popstars, we've got a f*cking business to run. There are industry repercussions,<br />
Michael!... I know
