alejandro escovedo – irene wilde lyrics
[verse 1]
when i was just sixteen i stood waiting for a dream
a barker street bus station non-affair
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 nothing, go away
you’re just a face in the crowd
so i went home and i vowed
[refrain]
i’m gonna be somebody, someday
[verse 2]
her name was irene wilde
oh, such beauty for a child
she started dating boys, i nearly died
for i could not barely stand
seeing someone hold her hand
i felt i had to run away and hide
in my mother’s sitting room
composed so many tunes
all the same, just for fame
for her name, and just to say
[refrain]
gonna be somebody, someday
[bridge]
wilde is your name
i soon left that country town
i been around, i had some ups
i seen some fame, i’ve had some downs
smiled at your shock to hear your name aloud
it’s just that face in the crowd
i didn’t dig it
much too proud
[verse 3]
when i was just sixteen i stood waiting for a dream
barker street bus station every night
at the time it seemed so sad
but it didn’t turn out bad
if you hadn’t messed me up, i’d still be there
oh, i think most folks agree
little put-down and then they see
they’re not the chain, they’re just a link
and that’s why you made me think
gonna be somebody
be somebody
be somebody someday
