Lyrics for Irene Wilde by Ian Hunter:
| | | Artist: | Ian Hunter |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Irene Wilde | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 118 | | | | Lyrics: | When I was just sixteen - I stood waiting for a dream -
at Barker Street bus station every
night
When I tried to get it on - she just looked at me with scorn - my courage
turned to
dust and I took flight
For those looks they seemed to say
You ain't nuthin' - Go
away
You're just a face in the crowd so I went home and I vowed
I'm gonna be somebody -
someday
Her name was Irene Wilde - Oh such beauty for a child
When she started dating
boys - I nearly died
For I could not barely stand to see someone hold her hand
I felt I had
to crawl away and hide
In my mother's living room I composed so many tunes
All the same -
just a frame - for her name, and just to say
Gonna be somebody - someday
Wild as your
name I soon left that country town
I been around, seen some fame, seen some ups and seen some
downs
Smile through your shock when you hear your name aloud
It's that face in the crowd -
didn't dig it - much too proud...
When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream
A
Barker Street bus station non affair
At the time it seemed so sad, but it did not turn out
bad
If you hadn't messed me up I'd still be there
And I think most folks agree, a little
put-down makes them see
They ain't no chain - just a link and that's why you made me
think
Gonna be somebody - be somebody - be somebody - someday | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
