I was seventeen, ou were working for

Matthew and Son,

(The) Beatles me the Queen, and I wrote

I'm gonna get me a gun, yeah, yeah

It was like a dream in the star machine,

oh, no, izitso, izitso?

I never wanted to be a star, I never wanted

to travel far

I only wanted a little bit of love

So I could put a little love in my heart

I never wanted to be la-de-da, go to parties

'avec le bourgeois'

I only wanted to sing my song well,

So I could ring a small bell in your heart

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



I was on the road, sleeping between lorry

lights, oh no

Stone-drunk and cold, heading into a bad

night, yeah, yeah

Just another bean in the star machine, hi ho,

here I go, here I go



I never wanted to be a star buy my mum a

Ferrari car

I only wanted to run my own race,

So I could win a small place in your heart

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



Nature found a way, it picked me up off the

dark side, yeah, yeah

Showed me another day, it made me sing

'I think I see the light'

Not another bean in the star machine, oh no,

this time I won't go

I never wanted to be a star, I never wanted to
travel far

I only wanted a little bit of love

So I could put a little love in my heart.
