Lyrics

I find the time to recover Before they fight off each other And there's champagne to shake up Before I take of my make up No I don't want idolation But real appreciation Cos I climb high as a steeple When I can play to the people I always wanted to sing Since I was knee high To show the world just what Came from a working boy It started out as a laugh, yeah All this traveling round Some do it for the cash I do it for the crowd Don't wanna be in your set Don't wanna drive your car Don't wanna private jet Don't wanna be a star What started out as a pleasurе Has turned into a treasure And now I'm too big to handlе I can't get what lights the candle I always wanted to sing Since I was knee high To show the world just what Came from a working boy It started out as a laugh, yeah All this traveling round Some do it for the cash I do it for the crowd Don't wanna be in your set Don't wanna drive your car Don't wanna private jet Don't wanna be a star Lost in a dream Shrouded with colours Should I believe all the tales I've been told? With so much fame you believe in no others You become lost, lose your mind and your soul And don't look back And don't look back There's no more days Where I have to suffer Now I can have everything that I need But still I seem to be working for someone Telling me now's not the time I should leave He won't look back He won't look back [instrumental] Now that I'm made None of it matters I wish I could turn back the clock all those days And leave all this fame and this work right behind me And try to get back on the right road again I must get back I must get back I must get back I must get back No I don't want idolation But real appreciation Cos I get high as a steeple When I can play to the people I always wanted to sing Since I was knee high To show the world just what Came from a working boy It started out as a laugh, yeah All this traveling round Some do it for the cash I do it for the crowd Don't wanna be in your set Don't wanna drive your car Don't wanna private jet Don't wanna be a star
