Lyrics


I Haven't Got Any Famous Friends

You give me pencils, when what I need is a pen
The cold blank page is staring me down again
And I haven’t got any famous friends
Going to take the rest of the weekend to recover

Something you said it struck me as being true
For every promise made there’s an equal and opposite excuse
When fame calls for me I’ll be ready with my jacket on

But until then I’ll just dream of it
Can’t really fail if I dream of it
Lying awake I still dream on
But it’s gone when the morning comes
Yeah it’s gone when the morning comes

I had to cancel rehearsal. They needed me at the store
I’m tearing my heart out. You just ignore me
And I haven’t got any celebrity support
Going to take the rest of the weekend to recover

Something you said it struck me as being true
For every deadline there is always a plausible excuse
When fame calls for me I’ll be waiting with my jacket on

But until then I’ll just dream of it
Can’t really fail if I dream of it
Lying awake I still dream on
But it’s gone when the morning comes
Yeah it’s gone when the morning comes
