He was an unknown singer in an unknown band
And even his mother didn't understand
There are certain things you feel you have to do
And if it's right or wrong you got to see it through

He had his heroes, didn't we all?
And how it hurts you when you see them fall
Oh what a life! To be a star
Tasting expensive wine and caviar
Oh what a life! I should go far
I'll drive the ladies wild and drive a big black car

I'll play my future like a game of chance
So when I break no-one will ever guess
I'm just a working boy like thousands more
Who queue up quietly, just behind the door

I'll be there one day, you wait and see
When half the nation sings along with me
Oh what a life! To be a star
Tasting expensive wine and caviar
Oh what a life! I should go far
I'll drive the ladies wild and drive a big black car
big black car.....
big black car.....
big black car.....

Be there one day, you wait and see
When half the nation sings along with me

Oh what a life! To be a star
Tasting expensive wine and caviar
Oh what a life! I should go far
I'll drive the ladies wild and drive a big black car
Oh what a life! To be a star
Tasting expensive wine and caviar
Oh what a life! I should go far
I'll drive the ladies wild and drive a big black car
