He dreamed of being a rock star, the leader of the band,
Accepted adulation in every city in the land.
They found him in his bath tub, naked and alone,
A man without an aim in life when all his dreams were gone.
Be careful what you wish for, your wishes might come true,
And then what will you dream of, there's nothing left to do.
Be careful what you wish for, your wishes might come true,
And then you might wish you were back in the days when you were you.
He dreamed of playing football for the best team in the land.
He played for Man United, I used to watch him from the stand.
But when the game was over there was nothing left to do,
Except meet his friends in a nightclub and have a drink or two.
Chorus ....
He dreamed of being a leader, the man to change the world.
He saved us from oblivion but he couldn't save himself.
They killed him down in Texas, a bullet through his head,
The saddest thing about him, we loved him more when he was dead.
Chorus ....
