Lyrics

Music Man

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
