Melkweg-Amsterdam, NL

Well I will never, well I'll, I'll,
I'll never, never, never, ever, ever, ever,
I'll never be lonely

Man, we all wanna be big, big, big, big stars,
but then we get second thoughts about that

I'd say that's about as fucked up as you can be
Well can't you hear me cause I'm screamin'?
But I did not go outside yesterday
Don't wake me, I was dreamin',
I might just stay inside again today
Cause Mr Jones and me,
we don't see each other much any more

'cause when everybody loves you,

Unknown Version

When I turn on the television
I am not gonna see no fuckin'
Top of the Pops asshole starin' back at me
We wanna be big stars,
but we don't why and we don't know how
When everybody loves me I'll be
just about as confused as I can be
Mr Jones and me,
we're not gonna go on Top of the Pops
