Me, You and the Name

Lyrics

Hey there my old friend, how you doing how you been? Buy us a drink and I'll get you in a magazine Don't smile like that now, would I lie to you? Everyone dreams of being famous I can make you dreams come true I'm normally in with the in crowd but I just popped out I'm one of those high-life bastards I'm always reading about I know the clubs that never shut and the parties that never end I can't step inside the circle without meeting and old friend And I know the name And I know the name I'm gonna hold onto to what I've got And I know the namе And I know the name I'm gonna hold on to what I've got I sharеd the name's champagne when he got his first number one I'd be running some little errands for him when the day was done Anyone worth reading used to get their tips from me I showed up in a couple of videos in 1983 Come on, get us another never and I'll tell you all Dish the dirt on anyone you want, larger or small Well the name was a name with no brain, he didn't deserve his success Shot his mouth off once and I sold his story to the press And I know the name And I know the name I'm gonna hold on to what I've got And I know the name And I know the name I'm gonna hold onto to what I've got I can see by the cut of the cloth that you're doing alright I know you play rock 'n' roll in a pub every Monday night And it's nice to talk to someone with both feet on the ground Get us in another, I just stay here they shut it down All those would-be creative shitheads I know are going stale Well they sit behind their desks and they worry that they're gonna fail And you know it'll hit me the same way when I'm twenty-three And my phone was cut off in April and I've not been home for weeks But I knew the name Yeah, I knew the name I'm gonna hold on to what I've got And I know the name And I know the name I'm gonna hold on to what I've got Yeah I know the name And I know the name Do you wanna hold on to what I've got? And I know the name Do you wanna know the name? Do you wanna hold on to what I've got?
