michael ellis - Rock Star

Rock Star ist eine swingige, leichte Pop-Nummer mit fröhlichen Backing Vocals und Walking Bass. Geschrieben und aufgenommen habe ich es am 08.11.14.

yesterday i was
strolling round the shops
with nothing but the song that i was singing
passed by a boutique
heard somebody speak
turned out that it was me he was adressing

he'd caught my chan-
ting as he began
to formulate a brainwave he was having
took me by the hand
tried to make me understand
i had to follow him to his building

later - studio
performing on a show
it has been a hell ride of a day

but
i don't want to be a rock star
i just wanna sing my song
i don't care whether you love me
i don't get why people sing along

i don't want to be a rock star
i just rather wish i ain't
it's never how you think
can't just have a silent drink
so i don't wanna be a rock star

all the money in the world
fancy cars and girls
but no time for coffee in the morning
alcoholic star
thanks to my p.r.
children let this be a warning

cancel the interview
i am going to the zoo
that is something i would rather go for
instead of nicotine
bodyguard and limousine
blimey! rather sneak out the back door

don't want to be a rolling stone
i just want to go home
and not be on the poster on your wall

cause
i don't want to be a rock star
i just wanna sing my song
i don't care whether you love me
i don't get why people sing along

i don't want to be a rock star
i just rather wish i ain't
it's never how you think
can't just have a silent drink
so i don't wanna be a rock star

no
i don't want to be a rock star
i just wanna sing my song
i don't care whether you like that
i don't want people to sing along

i don't want to be a rock star
i just wanna have some tea
you'll hate me when i say
should have whistled yeasterday
so i wouldn't have to be a -
i don't need to be a -
rock star
