Wannabe (2007)

I want to be a professor in organic chemistry

And do my research at a top grade foreign university

Invent some things while helping one of my most brilliant PhD’s

Get their results published, so everyone accredits it to me

I could give classes to students, but I'll need some free time 

In which I fly to Stockholm to accept my second Nobel Prize

I’ll be respected amongst scientists, but what it implies

is that I’ll never sing this song again in all of my life



R:	I really want to be be, the drummer and the singer in a band

        I’m just a wannabe, ´cause at the same time be the biggest fan

        I really want to be better than Casanova as a lover

        I want a mistress, but also be a perfect husband and father

        I really want to be, real rich without having to do a job

        We´re all just a wannabe´s, the criminals who will never get caught

        I simply want to, the girl’s guy and as tough as Mr. T. 

        No one’s more constant and contrasting than me



And I regret that I have not learned young to play the trombone

guitar, piano and drumming, while also blowing saxophone

I could’ve been the new Mozart but I´d be mixed with Elton John

to get with the impact of a son of Madonna and John Lennon

I really feel I have the gift, but can’t control an instrument

So I write undervalued songs and then I sing ‘em in a band

with musicians I accuse of not giving one-hundred percent

and ‘cause they play better than me, no one sees I am the talent



R:	I’m just a wannabe, the drummer and the singer in a band

        I’m just a wannabe, while at the same time be the biggest fan

        I really want to be better than Casanova as a lover

        want a mistress, but also be a perfect husband and father

        We all just want to be, real rich without having to do a job

        We´re just some wannabe's, the criminals who will never get caught

        I simply want to, the girl’s guy and as tough as Mr. T. 

        No one’s more constant and contrasting and

        constant and contrasting than 

        constant and contrasting than me...
