Riding on the underground
Circle line going round and round
One way ticket to return
The hard way’s the only way to learn
You take your speed and amphetamine
You sit alone, your face just a grin
You sit and stare straight ahead
On the seat that is your bed
But you’ll be alright
Everything will change
When you are a star
Your possessions in a plastic bag
The only clothes you wear are like rags
No shoes on your feet
You’re tired and dirty
From walking the streets
Hunger is a thing of the past
You starve yourself to make your money last
Now all you want to do is get high
Forget the feeling that you want to die
But you’ll be alright
Everything will change
When you are a star
When you’re a star
Your whole world will be alright
No more riding on the circle line
To sleep at night… oh!
When you are a star
When you are a star
Riding on the underground
Circle line going round and round
One way ticket to return
The hard way’s the only way to learn
You take your speed and amphetamine
You sit alone, your face just a grin
You sit and stare straight ahead
On the seat that is your bed
But you’ll be alright
Everything will change
When you are a star
When you’re a star
Your whole world will be alright
No more riding on the circle line
To sleep at night… oh!
When you are a star
When you are a star
