Lyrics
In my mind I was a star Heaped in praise for my art But I wasn't, not at all My mother loved me But not much more In my mind I was a star Heaped in praise for my art But I wasn't, not at all My mother loved me But not much more I made a mark upon the wall Just to prove I was that tall But on the inside I'm four foot three Because the wall won't Won't come with me As a child I dreamed of travelling to Mars But getting lonely needn't take you so far from home Reading kids' encyclopaedias - it's where I stole all of my best ideas My friend In my mind I was a star Heaped in praise for my art But I wasn't, not at all My mother loved me But not much more There was a man, I read today Who once claimed he'd saved the day But when he looked back It was plain to see - the day was too sad for him to keep The painful days don't stay here with me They're just a flash like a drive through museum, my friend They're tangled days when I think of them But if you asked I'd do it all again, my friend They're tangled days when I think of them But if you asked I'd do it all again, my friend
