Ahhh see Right see the thing that's got it all f*cked up now is camera-phones
How the hell am I supposed to be able to do a line in front of complete strangers, when I know they've
All got cameras?
When you're a famous boy, it gets really easy to get girls,
It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt
But, when you try to pull a girl, who is also famous too,
It feels just like when you wasn't famous
The celebrity pages in papers don't tell tales that are always to the line of the truth
It's 'til a line (of coke) at which most likely you'll have the time, or enough finance to sue
Which is why it's so frightening buying papers in the morning fearing the next Mike Skinner scoop
'Cos I used to believe what I read, so now I know that others will believe that it's true
But I realised, with you the truth could be, a whole lot worse than the flack
My whole life I never thought I'd see, a pop star smoke crack
And I must admit I was quite shocked, with that thing you did with me on my back
But, outside in the lobby, I shouldn't have laughed when you slapped that man
When you're a famous boy, it gets really easy to get girls,
It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt
But, when you try to pull a girl, who is also famous too,
It feels just like when you wasn't famous
You were so much fun, I really got to like you more than you liked me,
I really hoped that you'd stay
Considering the amount of prang you'd done, you looked amazing on cduk
You learn dances, do promo, cameras flashing, get in the van, zoom away (reeeoow)
I wake up high, DOES MY BEAT feel hung over and sorry for my doomed day
But I know I got a bit close to you, and that you found it f*cking boring
You taught me so much about how to deal with the (?)
And what version of a rumour would be next day everyone's story of me
You taught me all the realities and "turn the page & ignore 'em"
When you're a famous boy, it gets really easy to get girls,
It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt
But, when you try to pull a girl, who is also famous too,
It feels just like when you wasn't famous
Anyway, I had to rest my beer hat, delete my dealer's number and unroll my bank notes
And we were on borrowed time anyway, what with the daily toilet papers not knowin'
And I knew that when the people who thought they knew you, when they found out, I would've been mocked
Which is ironic, 'cos in reality, standing next to you I look f*cking soft
Whenever I see you on MTV, I can't stop my big wide smile
And past the "children's appeal", I see the darkness behind
We both know the scratches on my back, much better than the alludes and lies
I miss the bitchin' and shoutin', but I'm glad I got out in time
When you're a famous boy, it gets really easy to get girls,
It's all so easy you get a bit spoilt
But, when you try to pull a girl, who is also famous too,
It feels just like when you wasn't famous
You can't keep f*cking popstars, we've got a f*cking business to run There are industry repercussions,
Michael! I know
