Famous For A Minute

[Verse 1]
Mum said it was funny
One day no one knows your name
Next day you’re suddenly famous
Same old shoes
Same old rain
Signing some kid’s T-shirt
Talking like I know the game
But the kettle whistled back home
Exactly the same

[Chorus]
Famous for a minute
Gone by the weekend
Up on a wave
Then back in the deep end
Mum just shrugs
Says
“Love
That’s how it goes”
One day you’re not famous
Next day you are
And then you’re not again
I suppose

[Verse 2]
Pub down on the corner
Still wants me to pay my round
Bloke behind the bar says
“Saw you on the telly
Sit down”
But the bins still hit the driveway
Same time every Monday
And the dog don’t care
If I fade by Sunday

[Outro]
So pour another cuppa
Tell me how your garden’s been
We’ll laugh about the headline
And the folk I’ve never seen
If it all falls quiet
And the calls don’t come
Mum says
“You’re still my kid
Mate”
And that’s the only number one
