Lyrics

Rich And Famous

1,2,3,4 Watched those hands go round the clock,
seconds fly, so fast,so hard to imagine
how time in our hands would get handled
without getting all tangled
Sneaking cigarettes, rebelling Bonaparts
we'd be planning how to take the world
and break each other's hearts -
a teenage scandal - retreat and hide from the battle.

We hung around in my basement
We were gonna get big somehow
We kinda though we'd be Rich & Famous by now
Jumped around on electric guitars
We were gonna be Rock Stars
Kinda thought we'd be Rich & Famous by now

So many words, so many thoughts
to be champions of the world,
we'd have to sacrifice a moment
to making it better
didn't know it wouldn't really matter
nothing in the world could ever phase us
we'd forget the worse without a fuss
it worked just like a charm
our minds calm meadows
our hearts erupting volcanoes

Chorus

There was Jimmy on his strat guitar
he played real hard, but he didn't get far
still we hear his solos ring
everytime I'd jump to mike and sing

Chorus
