And you know what this means?
I've been invited to a dinner with a prominent queen
And ask my view on politics and theories on religion
Life is so easy when your record's hot
I might even end up a rock and roll God
And everybody says it's going to get to the top
I've just come in at number 25
It's strange how people want you when you record's high
And a woman recognized me and started to scream
He said, “Son your record's just got to number 1”
But number seven on the N.M.E.
It might turn into a steady job
I'm oh so happy, so glad to be alive
'Cos when it drops down they just pass you by
To press my trousers and polish my shoes
Now my record's number 11 on the BBC
Now my agent called me on the telephone
And my agent said to me, “Son, I always told you so"
Now my record's up to number 3
Not the Melody Maker want to interview me
This all seems like a crazy dream
Go tell my mama and my sister too
And now I've got friends that I never knew I had before
