Phil Lynott - Somebody Else's Dream video free download

Lyrics & Information

Taken from the B-Side to Phil's single 'Together'. This is a really cool jiveout and I love the lyrics. It's all about how he feels with the life of a rockstar. A little self indulgant but nonetheless brilliant.

Lyrics:-

(Damn, damn x 3)

First he comes up and he tells ya

Hey I'm bored with the whole musical scene

And then he says, I've seen your act

It's the greatest thing

But the more he gets to know ya

The more he shows ya he's off the lunatic fringe

You see as silly as it seems

I'm so tired of living out somebody else's dream

Who do you think you are

Are you a poet a lover a father a rock and roll star

Who do I think I am x 2

I love my partner in life - my wife, my children and mam

Who do you think you are x 2

Well I messed up, I mucked up oh I should shut up

Who do you think you are x 2

Who do I think I am

You mean a thousand different faces

But it's that same old reclaim

And a thousand different places

Don't you know home?

Let me introduce you to who I mean

Then you get impatient

Then you start to scream

You see as silly as it seems

You're living out somebody else's dream

You're living out someone else's dream x 4

So tired of it

Of living

And people say

It must be nice to be noticed

And you say

It don't affect me at all

But some day this pretending it must stop

And you must protest do the people have the right to know it all

Do they know it all?

Are they told it all

Do you know it all?

I don't know at all

As silly as it seems

What did that mean?

I mean it was a fob a flash a scheme

What do you mean?

You're living out someone elses dream

What does that mean?

It means I dont know man

I'll never do this again

You're living out someone else's dream x 2

Who says this song has anything in common with you at all

That's what I mean

You mean as silly as it seems

I'm so tired of living out somebody else's dream
