It happened all so quickly I was too young I had too much Before I'd even begun I touched the glittering prizes I had them in my hand But when I turned it down You didn't understand But I'm feeling much better now I've only just begun And soon I know my day will come Don't get me wrong It's not a hard luck story number 39 Just to hear my song on the radio Was all I ever hoped Soon realised, I couldn't cope You can keep your hits And your silver discs I'll stick two fingers to fame Don't cry for me It's not a shame It's not a hard luck story number 39
