When I Get Famous - Jamie Cullum

There’s diamonds hiding in my hands

They’re gonna cut through the windows

Ain’t no one messing with my plans

Right now my star is in limbo

Sit back and watch my scrawny frame

Invade your feelings

All the years you caused me pain

I’ve got some wounds that need healin'

Well you were just too damn aloof

Wearing your Morrissey t-shirt

The kind of girl that’s born for youth

Well that’s a blessing and some curse

I tell you son beware of those

Who peak too early

Cause all that magic can’t be froze

And now it’s you who ain’t worthy

So baby when I get famous

Everybody’s gonna see

Oh oh oh oh

You never really knew me

Does it make sense to simplify

Now we’re knotted in riddles

But I don’t care, do you know why?

The girls are falling like skittles

Whoever said you needed rights

To tame your beauty

I’ll say goodbye to lonely nights

Girls form an orderly queue please

So baby when I get famous

Everybody’s gonna see

Oh oh oh oh

You never really knew me

So given knowledge, given time

I’d take us out of recession

I’d tell the world that all was fine

And that the freedom’s a blessing

Cause when I’m looking from the top

You’ll all seem smaller

Ain’t that what all us humans want?

To stand that little bit taller

So baby when I get famous

Everybody’s gonna see

Oh oh oh oh

You never really knew me
