Some People
I was never one for singin
what I really fee
Except tonight, I'm bringin
everything I know that's rea
Stars, they come and g
They come fast or slo
They go like the last ligh
of the sun, all in a blaz
and all you see is glor
But it gets lonely ther
when there's no one here to shar
We can shake it awa
if you'll hear a stor
People lust for fam
Like athletes in a gam
we break our collarbone
and come up swingin
Some of us are downe
Some of us are crowne
and some are los
and never foun
But most have seen it al
They live their lives i
sad cafes and music hall
They always have a stor
Some make it when they're youn
before the world ha
done its dirty jo
and later on, someone will sa
"You've had your da
You must make way"
But they'll never know the pai
of living with a name you never owne
or the many years forgettin
what you know too wel
The ones who gave the crow
have been let dow
You try to make amend
without defendin
Perhaps pretendin
you never saw the eye
of grown men of twenty fiv
that followed as you walke
and asked for autograph
or kissed you on the chee
and you never could believ
they really loved yo
Some make it when they're ol
(Perhaps they have a sou
they're not afraid to bar
Or perhaps there's nothing there
Some women have a bod
men will want to see
so they put it on displa
Some people play a fine guita
I could listen to the
play all da
Some ladies reall
move across a stag
and gee, they sure can danc
I guess I could learn ho
if I have it half a chanc
but I always feel so funn
when my body tries to soa
and I seem to always worr
about missing the next chor
I guess there isn't anythin
to put up on displa
except the tune
and whatever else I sa
Anyway, that isn't reall
what I meant to sa
I meant to tell a stor
I live from day to da
Stars, they come and g
They come fast or slo
They go like the last ligh
of the sun, all in a blaz
and all you see is glor
But those who've seen it al
they live their live
in sad cafes and music hall
we always have a stor
So if you don't lose patienc
with my fumbling around
I'll come up singing for yo
even when I'm down
