Irene Wilde [live] Lyrics - Welcome To The Club - Ian Hunter

When I was just sixteen - I stood waiting for a dream - 

At barker street bus station every night 

When I tried to get it on - she just looked at me with scorn - my courage 

Turned to dust and I took flight 

For those looks they seemed to say 

You ain't nuthin' - go away 

You're just a face in the crowd so I went home and I vowed 

I'm gonna be somebody - someday 

Her name was irene wilde - oh such beauty for a child 

When she started dating boys - I nearly died 

For I could not barely stand to see someone hold her hand 

I felt I had to crawl away and hide 

In my mother's living room I composed so many tunes 

All the same - just a frame - for her name, and just to say 

Gonna be somebody - someday

Wild as your name I soon left that country town 

I been around, seen some fame, seen some ups and seen some downs 

Smile through your shock when you hear your name aloud 

It's that face in the crowd - didn't dig it - much too proud...

When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream 

A barker street bus station non affair 

At the time it seemed so sad, but it did not turn out bad 

If you hadn't messed me up I'd still be there 

And I think most folks agree, a little put-down makes them see 

They ain't no chain - just a link and that's why you made me think 

Gonna be somebody - be somebody - be somebody - someday
