Cos You're A Star

(альбом: Hot Cold & Custard - 1968)

Don't laugh because you know it isn't funny
An overdraft means someone else is spending all your money
You bought her everything
Fur coat and diamond ring
Even made her think she own the stars
You gave her all the best West One address
But it didn't get you very far
That don't get you very far

You're staring at the floor and at the ceiling
A squeeze is on, your money's gone
It's such a funny feeling
Gold braid, rosettes, wooden car of statuettes
Velvet curtains hanging on the wall
You had fun in West One
Done things you've never done
But it didn't get you far at all
That don't get you far at all

You buy her new gowns
And now she lives uptown
She lives in great style
But seldom do you smile
Foolish child, foolish child

Don't laugh because you know it isn't funny
An overdraft means someone else is spending all your money
You bought her everything
Fur coat and diamond ring
Even made her think she own the stars
You gave her all the best West One address
But it didn't get you very far

That don't get you very far
That don't get you very far
That don't get you very far
'Cos you're a star

Just because you're a star
Just because you're a star
Just because you're a star
Just because you're a star
