Paul Heaton - I'm Your No 1 Fan lyrics

[Verse 1] I was handed down the looks of a man with a broken nose That's the way our family was, I suppose But at least you gave me deeply profound As we lay and chatted late upon the cricket ground [Pre-Chorus 1] You didn't have to love me, where others got rid You didn't have to treat me like a very good friend But I'm glad that you did, I'm glad that you did [Chorus] One thing I never said to you and one thing I never can Amongst the false applause and the deafening cheers I'm your no. 1 fan, I'm your no. 1 fan [Verse 2] I'm the richly blessed daughter of a mother with tattooed arms That's the way my family life, life was charmed But at least it gave me mental grace And a thought, oh at the pit of my mind and a smile on my face [Pre-Chorus 2] You didn't have to listen to a, a word that I'd said You didn't have to tell me all those silly old jokes For every tear that I shed, every tear that I shed [Chorus] [Verse 3] I was handed down a bike with a crooked old wheel But I rode it on a million lanes, the way that you made me feel But at least we thought about it so long and hard As we sat upon our mother in the graveyard [Pre-Chorus 3] And you don't have to listen to a, a word in this song Your picture hangs the same and in the same old place Even though that you've gone, even though that you've gone [Chorus] [Outro] Yes, I am, I'm your no. 1 fan Yes, I am, yes, I am I'm your no. 1 fan, yes I am
