cat stevens - (i never wanted) to be a star lyrics

i was seventeen, you were working for
matthew and son,
the beatles met the queen, and i wrote
i'm gonna get me a gun, yeah, yeah
it was like a dream in the star machine,
oh, no, izitso, izitso?
i never wanted to be a star, i never wanted
to travel far
i only wanted a little bit of love
so i could put a little love in my heart
i never wanted to be la-de-da, go to parties
'avec le bourgeois'
i only wanted to sing my song well,
so i could ring a small bell in your heart
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

i was on the road, sleeping between lorry
lights, oh no
stone-drunk and cold, heading into a bad
night, yeah, yeah
just another bean in the star machine, hi ho,
here i go, here i go

i never wanted to be a star buy my mum a
ferrari car
i only wanted to run my own race,
so i could win a small place in your heart
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

nature found a way, it picked me up off the
dark side, yeah, yeah
showed me another day, it made me sing
'i think i see the light'
not another bean in the star machine, oh no,
this time i won't go
i never wanted to be a star, i never wanted to travel far
i only wanted a little bit of love
so i could put a little love in my heart
