Track Lyrics
To Be Someone (Didn’t We Have a Nice Time) Lyrics
[Intro: Paul Weller]
To be someone must be a wonderful thing
A famous footballer, a rock singer
Or a big film star
Yes, I think I would like that
To be rich and have lots of fans
Have lots of girls to prove that I'm a man
And be number one
And liked by everyone
[Verse 1]
Getting drugged up with my trendy friends
They really dig me, man, and I dig them
And the bread I spend is like my fame
It's quickly diminished
[Pre-Chorus]
There's no more swimming in a guitar shaped pool
No more reporters at my beck and call
No more cocaine, now it's only ground chalk
No more taxis, now we'll have to walk
[Chorus]
But didn't we have a nice time?
Didn't we have a nice time?
Oh, wasn't it such a fine time?
[Verse 2]
I realise I shoulda stuck to my guns
Instead shit out to be one of the bastard sons
And lose myself, I know it was wrong
But it's cost me a lot
[Pre-Chorus]
There's no more drinking when the club shuts down
I'm out on my arse with the rest of the clowns
It's really frightening without a bodyguard
So I stay confined to my lonely room
[Chorus]
But didn't we have a nice time?
Didn't we have a nice time?
Oh, wasn't it such a fine time?
[Outro]
To be someone must be a wonderful thing
English Rose Lyrics
[Chorus]
No matter where I roam
I will return to my English rose
For no bonds can ever tempt me from she
[Verse 1]
I've sailed the seven seas
Flown the whole blue sky
But I've returned with haste
To where my love does lie
[Chorus]
No matter where I go
I will come back to my English rose
For nothing can ever tempt me from she
[Verse 2]
I've searched the secret mists
I've climbed the highest peaks
And caught the wild wind home
To hear her soft voice speak
[Chorus]
No matter where I roam
I will return to my English rose
For no bonds can ever keep me from she
[Verse 3]
I've been to ancient worlds
I've scoured the whole universe
And caught the first train home
To be at her side
[Chorus]
No matter where I roam
I will return to my English rose
For no bonds can ever keep me from she
In the Crowd Lyrics

The Place I Love Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The place I love is a million miles away
It's too far for the eye to see
Still it's me at least and you can't come there
No one is allowed at all
[Chorus 1]
Only animals that love me
Will always only ever could-be
Still it's always in the back of my mind
[Verse 2]
The place I love is overgrown now
With beautiful moss and colourful flowers
And goldfish that swim in a pool, there's a small brick wall
With neon lighting controlled by lightning
[Chorus 2]
I'm making a stand against the world
There's those who would hurt us if they heard
And it's always in the back of my mind
[Verse 3]
The place I love is nowhere near here
Not within a yard of those trendy do's
Where dogsbodies pick you up and graciously give you a lift
With cherished thoughts and bitterness
[Chorus 3]
I'm making a stand against the world
There's those who would hurt us if they heard
And it's always in the back of my mind
I'm making a stand against the world
There's those who would hurt us if they heard
And it's always in the back of my mind
