CAT STEVENS lyrics : "(I Never Wanted) To Be A Star"

I was seventeen, you were working for
Matthew and Son,
The Beatles met 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
