The StreetsWhen You Wasn't Famous Lyrics:
Ahhh see... Right see the thing that's got it all
f*cked 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.
But, 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
'til a line (of coke) 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. 'Cos
I used to believe what I read, so now I know that
others will believe that it's true But I realised,
with you the truth could be, 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.
But, 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, zoom
away (reeeoow). I wake up high, (unknown) 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*cking boring. You taught me so much about how to
deal with the (?). And what version of a rumour
would be next day everyone's story of me. You
taught me all the realities and "turn the
page & ignore 'em".
When you're a famous boy, it gets really easy to
get girls, it's all so easy you get a bit spoilt.
But, 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 knowin'. And I knew that when
the people who thought they knew you, when they
found out, I would've been mocked. Which is
ironic, 'cos in reality, standing next to you I
look f*cking 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.
But, 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*cking popstars, we've got a
f*cking business to run. There are industry
repercussions, Michael!... I know
