[I Never Wanted] to Be a Star [German translation]

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
