One hit Wonder

This is a song about being a one hit wonder and wanting nothing more

One hit Wonder

I wanna write, one good song

That lasts for centuries

One good song, that everyone knows

I only want fame, for fifteen minutes

That’s enough for me you see

The songs on my album

Won’t even be good enough for me

 

So don’t give me, all of your attention

Just give me, one big mention

My one song, is enough for me

Maybe you can see

Maybe you can see...

 

[Chorus]

I wanna be a one hit wonder

Record one song then go under

Live my life in royalties

And only sing my song in casualties

Yeah I wanna be a one hit wonder

Let it creep up on you, just like thunder

That’s what I wanna be

That’s what I wanna be

 

Although I’ll have, just one song

My fame will still shine strong

I’ll be around, in all the films

I’ll start a tour, and never finish it

Cos my songs aren’t really that good

Cos that’s enough for me

 

My fame will stay strong, so I need all your attention

My fame will go on, until I reach my pension

My one song, is not enough for you

This I know is true

This I know is true...

 

[Chorus]

I wanna be a one hit wonder

Record one song then go under

Live my life in royalties

And only sing my song in casualties

Yeah I wanna be a one hit wonder

Let it creep up on you, just like thunder

That’s what I wanna be

That’s what I wanna be

 

A one hit wonder

That’s enough for me

The fame is enough for me

That’s what I wanna be

That’s what I wanna be

That’s what I wanna be

A one hit wonder
