Star for a Week Songtext
von Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel

Anxious mother pleads, come home, Dino
I can′t believe that's my boy they′re talking about
His dreams are in his motor-cycle
Swears he's gonna sort 'em out
He′s going barefoot like the man with no name
Gonna break into a bank, if he surrendered
Imagine the shame

I just wanna be someone, anyone, but i wanna be a
Star for a week or two
Just wanna be someone, anyone
I′d be complete if i could be a star for a week


Across the country he's been stealing cars
Playing cat and mouse like a hero on d-day
Shoeless boy, this is shotgun baby
Running from the law like it′s a holiday
He's a good boy in his heart, but a fool
Don′t wanna be a fugitive, he'd rather be at home
Or in school

I just wanna be someone, anyone, but i wanna be a
Star for a week or two
Just wanna be someone, anyone
I′d be complete if i could be a star for a week

Everywhere, he reads give up, Dino
We wanna know what's this death-wish
You're talking about
He′s cold, he′s hungry and he's scared
He′s got his father in his mind, and this message to get
Out, i wanna steal, wanna give, wanna die, wanna live,
Wanna find my own identity like any other teenage kid

I just wanna be someone, anyone, but i wanna be a
Star for a week or two
Just wanna be someone, anyone
I'd be complete if i could be a star for a week
