lyrics

In my mind I was a star
Heaped in praise for my art
But I wasn't, not at all
My mother loved me
But not much more

I made a mark upon the wall
Just to prove I was that tall
But on the inside
I'm four foot three,
Because the wall won't
Won't come with me

As a child I dreamed of travelling to Mars
But getting lonely needn't take you so far from home
Reading kids' encyclopaedias - it's where I stole all of my best ideas
My friend

In my mind I was a star
Heaped in praise for my art
But I wasn't, not at all
My mother loved me
But not much more

There was a man, I read today
Who once claimed he'd saved the day
But when he looked back
It was plain to see - the day was too sad for him to keep

The painful days don't stay here with me
They're just a flash like a drive through museum, my friend

They're tangled days when I think of them
but if you asked I'd do it all again, my friend

They're tangled days when I think of them
but if you asked I'd do it all again, my friend

London, ideal for making as much noise as you wanted, whenever you wanted. Which they did, by plugging things into other things that shouldn’t rightly be plugged into anything, then singing through them until something interesting happened. ... more
