To Be Someone

想當C朗，
想當李嘉誠，
想當明星，想當首富；
有車有錢有女人，閃爍的鎂光燈。
Honey gold jewels money women wine cars that shine

別人的生活七彩繽紛，
自己的總是索然無味；
每一個人，就算礙於面子不敢說出口，也總會渴望：
「假如我是某某，該有多好...」

如果我係湯漢斯，下半世唔駛憂喇...得閒拍兩部戲，名利雙收...
最好都係做John Squire，彈得一手好結他，又做過top band，樣子唔係太特出，但有音樂才華就叫有型架啦。呃得下人架。

你曾否有如此想法？
我？我有...


所以而家好慚愧...


你睇人好，人睇你好。
別被鏡頭前的綺麗所瞞騙，那只是糖衣毒藥。


是的，當一個搖滾明星的時候，是渡過了一個好時光；
數千萬英鎊，遍佈全球億計的fans，
唱片公司不敢開罪你，還得送你勞斯萊斯名車，哄你高興，免得你一個不如意寫歌把公司的糗事全擺出來，還光明正大地以公司的名字作歌名。（實際上是有人做過了，ＥＭＩ，唔知好嬲定好笑）隨心所欲，要風得風，可卡因、海洛英、esctasy、LSD、acid，仲有Guinness、乜啤乜啤任你飲，醉死係威士忌樽亦唔出奇。
對政府有不滿？覺得westlife音樂係垃圾？
無問題，搖滾明星咩都可以講出口。

名氣，從來唔係一條忠心既狗。
要走就走，帶走所有雲彩。
身邊沒有保安，沒有成堆的記者；
白粉？游泳池？
一無所有。

做第二個人，係唔係真係一件好玩既事？
後悔，想重新開始，未免太妄想。
只能安慰自己，起碼，也曾有個好時光。

Noel Gallagher版本，多一份傷感...

The Jam - TO BE SOMEONE

To be someone must be a wonderful thing
A famous footballer a rock singer
or a big film star, yes I think I would like that
To be rich and have lots of fans
have lots of girls to prove that I'm a man
And be No. 1 - and liked by everyone

Getting drugged up with my trendy friends
They really dig me, man, and I dig them
And the bread I spend - is like my fame - it's quickly diminished

And there's no more swimming in a guitar shaped pool
no more reporters at my beck and call
no more cocaine it's only ground chalk
no more taxis now we'll have to walk

But didn't we have a nice time -
didn't we have a nice time
Oh wasn't it such a fine time

I realize I should have stuck to my guns
instead shit out to be one of the bastard sons
and lose myself - I know it was wrong - but it's cost me a lot

And there's no more drinking when the club shuts down,
I'm out on my arse with the rest of the clowns
It's really frightening without a bodyguard
so I stay confined to my lonely room
