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.
Harry Higgins is doing well
Selling brushes, he rings a bell
He had a number one in the charts
Teenage girls tore him apart
Was better known as Rocky Jones
Now that is so long ago
Still gets recognised everywhere
Even though he has lost his hair
Sign here for my kids, not me
You look much taller on TV
Ain't you got fat and your looking old
I know your face, what's your name?
Didn't you use to use to be you?
I know that it's true, you used to be you
Used to be big, you used to be known
The number one name in everyone's home
A one hit wonder, what a thing to be
Fans have the record the DJ's played
So how come you was never paid?
You must surely be made for life
He goes home laughing and tells the wife, ha
Back down to Earth (nothing has changed)
He's still the same (they won't forget)
They won't forget, what's his name
Didn't you use to use to be you
I know that it's true, you used to be you
You used to be big, you used to be known
I cease to exist so leave me alone
A one hit wonder, what a thing to be
Too many people with many memories
I wish they'd live their lives, don't bother me
Sees all the modern stars on TV, sits there thinking that should be me
Fame ain't a living but who can tell, Harry Higgins is doing well
Didn't you use to use to be you
I know that I'm me, who else could I be?
Who did you meet and what did you see?
I wish that I've never been on TV
A one hit wonder, ain't the thing
One hit wonder, ain't the thing
One hit wonder, ain't the thing to be
Oh, to be, yeah to be
