about

I won't lie, I want to be famous. Not too famous, just enough to be recognised occasionally.

lyrics

RECOGNISED
Jim Sharrock

Ever since I was a baby I’ve been destined for great things
I used to laugh at my teachers when they told me that I couldn’t sing
I dreamt much more then I ever worked and the years they rolled on by
You know it hurt me: I wasn’t famous at thirty
But I’ll get there before I die

Cause I’m just waiting to be recognised
I believe it’s just a matter of time
I’m gonna leave all this squalor behind
The moment that I’m recognised

Let’s not argue over talent or skill, it’s obvious I’ve got them both
All I need is a little more confidence and a wallet that aint so broke
Cause I’ve had troubles, I’ve seen hard times, people tryin’ to hold me back
They’re just jealous of my future top sellers and the fact I got a dynamite act

CHORUS

In the past when I’ve been playin’ the audience has been a bit thick
And though I tried to simplify my lines they couldn’t catch my demanding wit
But I can see you people can comprehend: my genius is hard to define
And maybe one day you’ll be able to say you saw us when we played the small time

CHORUS
