Lyrics
Your never gonna be what they said you were gonna be
Cause you didn?t go and fall when they said you would fall
And your never gonna dance to the tune that they wanted you to dance to
And they never got their day ?the one they said that you would crawl
Yeh days came by when you wanted just to cry
You kept on fighting cause you had to reach the sky
What?s it like in the spotlight - flying way up on high
What?s it like in the spotlight ? all those people in your eye
They said in Whitley bay Wey Hey can you leave us
Cause you haven?t really got what it takes to be good
See, we?ve seen it all before and we know- so you better just believe us
Get another job- don?t mean to be rude.
Yeh days came by when you wanted just to cry
You kept on fighting cause you had to reach the sky
What?s it like in the spotlight - flying way up on high
What?s it like in the spotlight ? all those people in your eye
People put you down now they wanna touch your car and get your autograph
And the guy from Whitley Bay says he knew you?d be a star
Don?t it make you wanna laugh.
The woman tells the man - that Brian?s in the spotlight
You said he couldn?t sing ?only knew how to shout
Well he?s singin rock n? roll and they say that he?s doin? it alright
You must a? got it wrong when you threw the bugger out.
Yeh days came by when you wanted just to cry
You kept on fighting cause you had to reach the sky
What?s it like in the spotlight - flying way up on high
What?s it like in the spotlight ? all those people in your eye
