Irene Wilde (Take 1 - Session Outtake) - Ian Hunter

作词：Ian Hunter

作曲：Ian Hunter

When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream

At barker street bus station every night

When I tried to get it on she just looked at me with scorn

My courage turned to dust and I took flight

For those looks they seemed to say

You ain't nuthin' go away

You're just a face in the crowd so I went home and I vowed

I'm gonna be somebody someday

Her name was Irene Wilde oh such beauty for a child

When she started dating boys I nearly died

For I could not barely stand seeing someone hold her hand

I felt I had to crawl away and hide

In my mother's living room I composed so many tunes

All the same just a frame for her name

And just to say

Gonna be somebody someday

Wild as your name I soon left that country town

I been around seen some fame seen some ups and seen some downs

Smile through your shock as you hear your name aloud

It's that face in the crowd didn't dig it much too proud

And when I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream

A barker street bus station non affair

At the time it seemed so sad but it did not turn out bad

If you hadn't messed me up I'd still be there

And I think most folks agree a little put down makes them see

They ain't no chain just a link

And that's why you made me think

Gonna be somebody

Gonna be somebody be somebody someday
