I Might Not Be A Rock Star

from Rock n Roll Rooster by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

Security wants to know what I’m doing here
Hanging round without a backstage pass
Just cos we’re not in the big top, the circus is in town
A crystal ball tells me I’m in luck.

They send a camera round to get footage of all the girls
Parade them for the band going past
I’m always one of the few chosen for the party
I just wink and give a knowing glance

CHORUS
Who do I think I am, I might not be a rock star
I might not be a rock star, I’ll be with one tonight
He picked up his guitar so he could get the girl
Might not be a star, I’ll be with one tonight

I pick the least popular, make him feel special
With the rest of the band in my sights
I had all the guys in the band, the bass player misses out
I’m not a horse and we’re not taking rides

I doubt I’d even go down on my favourite British rocker
Hygiene was never their strongest mark
A little bit of tact and they can’t believe their luck
Invited them all in to share a bath

CHORUS

Verse solo

I’d work my way through the band but draw the line at crew
Sorry boys it’s not a tough decision
Won’t shake my idol’s hand with the same hand that jerked off
Some lighting guy or drum technician

They took me on the tour bus but Robert was ignoring me
When Jimmy finished spilling his truth
I wiped myself up with Robert’s favourite scarf
He wore next day on every interview

CHORUS
