Lyrics Shakin' Stevens

Shakin' Stevens

Super Star

27 years old but can pass for 23,

Did an era on the scene when they discovered me,

Got some groovy smoothy threads and grew my hair,

With my poems and guitar I knew I’d be a star

A Superstar, Superstar - that’s what I are,

Big

Flown to the States on a super-sonic hype

Played the Filmore offered acid pills and pipe

My album smashed up the Cashbox charts

Warners Fox and Metro offered me a part

Superstar a Superstar that’s what I are

So big baby - all over

Every 45 was a gold record hit they analysed

Every word I ever writ

Packed the Hollywood Bowl played six encores

300 screamin’kids dislocated their jaws

Superstar Superstar that’s what I are

Did an interview with Rolling Stone

Wow

Pulled a groupie on each one night stand

No got higher than me and my band

My orgies were the talk of London town

Even Leon said he liked my sound

Kinda liked his too

Superstar that’s what I a Superstar

Then was then and now is now

Where did the girls and the good times go

I’m washed up a rock’n’roll has been

Rather be a has been had a good buzz

Than a souped up nothing just a never wa

Washed up like Charlie Gracie

Like Eddie Fontaine

Like back to pumping gas Man

Like nowhere

Well guess I always wanted to be a truck driver anyway........

Yeah

Maybe I could sling hash........

Or do a come back......
