(I Never Wanted) To Be a Star - Yusuf/Yusuf / Cat Stevens

I was seventeen you were working for

Matthew and Son

The Beatles met the Queen and I wrote

I'm gonna get me a gun yeah yeah

It was like a dream in the star machine

Oh no izitso izitso

I never wanted to be a star I never wanted

To travel far

I only wanted a little bit of love

So I could put a little love in my heart

I never wanted to be la-de-da go to parties

'Avec le bourgeois'

I only wanted to sing my song well

So I could ring a small bell in your heart

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I was on the road sleeping between lorry

Lights oh no

Stone-drunk and cold heading into a bad

Night yeah yeah

Just another bean in the star machine hi ho

Here I go here I go

I never wanted to be a star buy my mum a

Ferrari car

I only wanted to run my own race

So I could win a small place in your heart

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Nature found a way it picked me up off the

Dark side yeah yeah

Showed me another day it made me sing

'I think I see the light'

Not another bean in the star machine oh no

This time I won't go

I never wanted to be a star I never wanted to travel far

I only wanted a little bit of love

So I could put a little love in my heart
