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 Im a man
And be no. 1 - and liked by everyone
Getting drugged up with my trendy friends
They really dig me and I dig them
And the bread I spend - is like my fame - its quickly diminished
And theres no more swimming in a guitar shaped pool
No more reporters at my beck and call
No more cocaine its only ground chalk
No more taxis now well have to walk
But didnt we have a nice time -
Didnt we have a nice time
Oh wasnt 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 its cost me a lot
And theres no more drinking after the club shuts down,
Im out on me arse with the rest of the clowns
Its really frightening without a bodyguard
So I stay confined to my lonely room
The Jam were a legendary British punk rock band formed in 1976 in Woking, Surrey, by the multi-talented Paul Weller. Influenced by artists like The Beatles, The Kinks and The Who, they managed to blend melodic sounds with a decisive rhythm and a punk charge that made them one of the most important bands in the British music scene of the 1970s and 1980s. The original lineup, consisting of Weller (guitar, vocals), Bruce Foxton (bass) and Rick Buckler (drums), remained constant throughout the group's six years of activity. The Jam released seven studio albums, including their masterpiece "Sound Affects" (1980), which topped the British charts. Their most representative songs include "Going Underground", "Town Called Malice", "The Eton Rifles" and "Start!" . After the band's breakup in 1982, Paul Weller continued a successful career as a solo musician, while Foxton and Buckler embarked on various musical collaborations.
