No One Came lyrics

Maybe it's because I'm only starting

That I think it won't take too long.

Maybe it's because I can see you laughing

That I think you've got it wrong.

Maybe I could be like Robin Hood

Like an outlaw dressed all in green.

Someone said what's he gonna turn out like

And someone else said never mind.

Well I was big and bold and more than twice as old

As all the cats I'd ever seen.

I grew big hair and bought a suit

Of shiny white or was it cream,

I shook and shivered, danced and quivered

And stood on a mountain top.

No one came from miles ground and said

"Man, your music is really hot".

Well I knew what they meant because I was a freak

My throat was tired and worn.

My pretty lace just looked out of place

As they poured on the scorn.

I wrote on yellow paper from a man who was the king,

He said my boy we have some crazy scenes

There weren't any scenes at all like he was talkin' about

He must've been the king of Queens.

Well I could write a million songs about things I've done

But I could never sing them so they'd never get sung.

There's a law for the rich and one for the poor and

There's another one lor singers

It's die young and live much longer

Spend your money and sit and wonder.

No one came from miles around and said

"Man, your music is really funky".

I believe that I must tell the truth

And say things as they really are.

But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth

Could I ever be the star?

Nobody knows who's real and who's fakin'?

Everyone's shouting out loud

It's only the glitter and shine that gets thru'

Where's my Robin Hood outfit.

Well I've come and I've gone soon before you wink an eye

No one ever care enough to say goodbye

The money's good and the time you have

Fun and games galore

But you spend your money and lie in bed forgotten

And you wonder what you did it for.

No one came for miles around

And said Man, who's he?
