Lyrics
Something special
What am I now?
Another boy becoming man
who wants to change
who's not afraid
I've had to run
from boring streets
and bitter priests
from smoking gun
and stern parade
For when you're living on your own
without a girlfriend or a home
people speculate
but I'm much stronger than them
I want to be something special
I want to be something special
Now I play the London game
A hand-to-mouth existence
'til someone calls my name
I want it now
My chance has come
and I will grab it
just to change
the way I am
I understand
the plans you make
the risks you take
the way you can
when you're a man
And if I sometimes have to do
the things I've always wanted to
I won't shy away
Because I'm much harder than that
I want to be something special
I want to be something special
Now I play the London game
A hand-to-mouth existence
'til someone calls my name
From
Closer to Heaven
