[Verse 1: Charles Watson]
I saved up for two whole years
To get this tattoo of the king
Right across my heart
Right across my chest
Right about where those
Double bypa** scars start
He's not strange these days
He's looking at me now
[Verse 2: Charles Watson]
I hear the guitar music
Is coming back here anyday
So I look to the boys
With their j**els on the floor
Trying to remember the moment
It went away
He's not strange these days
He's looking at me now
[Chorus: Charles Watson]
No I don't want to be what you want
[?] the shelf
Don't wanna be the running joke
Just over your shoulder
Don't wanna be the reasons why
You learn to lie so well
I just wanna be
I
I just wanna be
[Verse 3: Charles Watson]
Your daddy worked for the RAF
He never stayed around for too long
You were good at making friends
Not so good at keeping them
But we're always able to forget them by the end of the song
[Verse 4: Charles Watson]
To all of the lovers and all of the dreamers
Who dare not look down
To all of the debutants who find themselves
Waiting it out in the [?]
Some back us down
Don't give the game away
They want you in your place
[Chorus 2: Charles Watson]
Oh I don't wanna be the one to whisper in the ear
Don't wanna be the failing entertainer that you once held dear
Don't wanna be up all night working like a dog
But I sleep all day
And take the evenings off
Sleep all day
Oh
And take the evenings off
Sleep all day
Oh
And take the evenings off
