Star For A Week Lyrics - Steve Harley

Anxious mother pleads, come home, dino 

I can't believe that's my boy they're talking about 

His dreams are in his motor-cycle 

Swears he's gonna sort 'em out 

He's going barefoot like the man with no name 

Gonna break into a bank, if he surrendered 

Imagine the shame 

I just wanna be someone, anyone, but I wanna be a 

Star for a week or two 

Just wanna be someone,anyone 

I'd be complete if I could be a star for a week 

Across the country he's been stealing cars 

Playing cat and mouse like a hero on d-day 

Shoeless boy, this is shotgun baby 

Running from the law like it's a holiday 

He's a good boy in his heart, but a fool 

Don't wanna be a fugitive, he'd rather be at home 

Or in school 

I just wanna be someone, anyone, but I wanna be a 

Star for a week or two 

Just wanna be someone,anyone 

I'd be complete if I could be a star for a week 

Everywhere, he reads give up, dino 

We wanna know what's this death-wish 

You're talking about 

He's cold, he's hungry and he's scared 

He's got his father in his mind, and this message to get 

Out, I wanna steal, wanna give, wanna die, wanna live, 

Wanna find my own identity like any other teenage kid 

I just wanna be someone, anyone, but I wanna be a 

Star for a week or two 

Just wanna be someone,anyone 

I'd be complete if I could be a star for a week
