Irene Wilde (Take 1 - Session Outtake) - Ian Hunter[00:00:00]
Written by:Ian Hunter[00:00:02]
When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream[00:00:12]
At barker street bus station every night[00:00:19]
When I tried to get it on she just looked at me with scorn[00:00:27]
My courage turned to dust and I took flight[00:00:35]
For those looks they seemed to say[00:00:42]
You ain't nuthin' go away[00:00:46]
You're just a face in the crowd so I went home and I vowed[00:00:49]
I'm gonna be somebody someday[00:00:57]
Her name was Irene Wilde oh such beauty for a child[00:01:06]
When she started dating boys I nearly died[00:01:13]
For I could not barely stand seeing someone hold her hand[00:01:21]
I felt I had to crawl away and hide[00:01:30]
In my mother's living room I composed so many tunes[00:01:37]
All the same just a frame for her name[00:01:45]
And just to say[00:01:50]
Gonna be somebody someday[00:01:53]
Wild as your name I soon left that country town[00:02:01]
I been around seen some fame seen some ups and seen some downs[00:02:08]
Smile through your shock as you hear your name aloud[00:02:17]
It's that face in the crowd didn't dig it much too proud[00:02:24]
And when I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream[00:02:39]
A barker street bus station non affair[00:02:47]
At the time it seemed so sad but it did not turn out bad[00:02:54]
If you hadn't messed me up I'd still be there[00:03:02]
And I think most folks agree a little put down makes them see[00:03:09]
They ain't no chain just a link[00:03:17]
And that's why you made me think[00:03:21]
Gonna be somebody[00:03:25]
Gonna be somebody be somebody someday[00:03:30]
