Lyrics

I made my life as a music man
I can't say that I'd ever change it
I counted time and my song began
With no-one to help me arrange it

There've been better times in better places
With people who had kinder faces
But there's more to a band
Than a one night stand
So I stay a music man

Then there's mister ten percent
Takes your money just to pay his rent
You put your feet across the door
Step in gold dust on the floor
The nice man shows you where to sign
You lose your life on the dotted line
He's a man of ice, you can see right through
But he's gonna make a star out of you

What's a star
What's a star
What's a star?

If you raise your glasses high
You might see him cross the sky
He's a singer
He's a writer
He's a genuine exciter
He's a star
He's a star
He's a star
