Lyrics
but he couldn t get it off the ground
so mama please don t worry about me
self-assured
So mama please don t worry about me, he really tried, still hanging on
six months later i m a cool operator
But don t abuse it, i stretched and squeezed at words i d never heard to write a song
I went out that night and shook the town the way i knew, i m nearly famous now, he really tried
i m gonna make you a star
And i know my way around, still hanging on
still hanging on
hang on i met this real live walking
It sounded the same as a tune i d heard before somehow, hang on six months later i m a part time waiter
And i know my way around, to exercise my delight
But it didn t seem to matter somehow, still hanging on, still hanging on
To keep the doom dust away from my door, to keep the doom dust away from my door
it sounded the same as a tune i d heard before somehow
I thought i d play him along, to keep the doom dust away from my door
And i know my way around, i m nearly famous now
I m nearly famous now, he really tried
but i didn t do what he wanted me to
But don t abuse it, hang on six months later i m a part time waiter
He really tried, he really tried Famous, the record man sighed
The record man said don t let it go to your head, and when it finally came
It sounded the same as a tune i d heard before somehow, i m nearly famous now
I stretched and squeezed at words i d never heard to write a song, i stretched and squeezed at words i d never heard to write a song, to keep the doom dust away from my door
slow talking bore
Still hanging on, he really tried, it sounded the same as a tune i d heard before somehow
hang on six months later i m a part time waiter
so mama please don t worry about me
self-assured
i m nearly famous now
But that don t bother me now cos i ve got a friend who s gotta friend who, to exercise my delight, but that don t bother me now cos i ve got a friend who s gotta friend who
I m nearly famous now, to keep the doom dust away from my door
