I Wanna Be A Popstar
I wanna see my name in lights A world tour and drink the hotel bar dry Sling tv's out the windows And send the bill to EMI I want groupies lined up in the halls (honestly... asterix is married) Gold discs hanging from my walls And park my limousine in the swimming pool Just like keith moon I want it all Hold on number 1 A living fantasy They can't take that from me Hold on number 1 Keep reaching for the stars Don't give up because I wanna be a pop star All the hours I spent in my room With a tennis racket and an old pistols tune I wanna throw up in the champagne bucket At the awards and it can't happen too soon chorus and guitar solo... Obsessed With You I got 100 autographs I camp outside your house Screaming in the front row word perfect Clutching at a bunch of flowers I bought every recorded format Your picture adorns my walls I gotta lock of hair I ripped from your scalp In the frenzy of the concert hall I want it all I stroke my hand across your face That I cut from Smash Hits And I spend my emotion and my parents money Making you rich So now you've had a piece of me Now I wanna piece of you Yes it's true I'm obsessed with you I used to have a boyfriend I used to have a life Now I write 15 letters a day But I never get no reply I'm just a sales figure I bought you a house and car Girl don't invest all your ambition On a tacky pop star Go play your own guitar Young Beautiful And In Love Must be only 15 yrs old She walks regularly down my street You could have any boy you want You got the whole world at your feet Cos there's nothing in the world Like a pretty girl And I think you've been sent From heaven above You're young and beautiful and in love I need a snapshot I just wanna immortalise you Don't let them steal your innocence Stop them when they try to Cos there's nothing in the world Like a pretty girl And I think you've been sent From heaven above You're young and beautiful and in love Because when I was your age I knew a girl like you Occasionally I still see her Collecting her kids from school Cos there ain't nothing in the world Like a pretty girl So please just for me if you could Stay young and beautiful and in love |
Stars Up In The Sky
Kisses mom and skips off into the playground A last goodbye A packed lunch and a head full of innocence And a sparkle in her eye But the devil came to school today And no-one understands why I only hope there's a heaven up there For 16 little boys and girls Will play no more in this godless world And you'll be shining like stars up in the sky Cards and flowers piled up by the school gates If only you could know You were robbed of love And how it feels to grow old And now when mom hugs us at night It's like she never wants to let go I only hope there's a heaven up there For 16 little boys and girls Will play no more in this godless world And you'll be shining like stars up in the sky Secrets Tonight I'll be gone before the break of day All cos your parents rule ok Cos that's weird steam opening letters Go go go cinderella It's all I wanna do I'm leaving cos I love you Please believe it's true I do Tonight this way we don't have to fight I guess your stupid mother was right Oh girl you just don't know your luck Cos you're the type of girl to fall in love With the first boy you f*** It's all I wanna do I'm leaving cos I love you Please believe it's true I do I never meant to make you unhappy I never meant to make you cry I sure don't like changing nappies I just ain't the marrying kind Tonight when you read this I'll be far away I'm leaving, it runs in the family I hope some day you will understand All rock n roll outlaws die with guitars in their hands No More Ramones I just heard the news today The KKK took my baby away Rock n roll highschool, chinese rocks Too tough to die, bop til you drop All is quiet on the eastern front Heidi is a headcase, Judy is a punk I can't give you anything Somebody put something in my drink Oh no, oh no I ain't so glad to see you go There's no more Ramones Psychotherapy, rockaway beach Wart hog, teenage lobotomy Now I wanna sniff some glue Every time I eat vegetables I think of you Pet semetary, I wanna be sedated I don't wanna go down to the basement Oh thank the lord for punk rock Vive le bruddas and the blitzkreig bop The above song is made up of ramones lyrics...
