When you wasn´t famous

LETRA

When you wasn´t famous

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
