Queen + Paul Rodgers talks

Roger Taylor, 2008 Classic Rock Magazine

"It's to do with the phenomenon of celebrity culture; the desperation to get your face on the telly. The assumption that if somebody becomes famous they'll also be rich is so naïve. It annoys me that there are so many famous, useless people."

Additional Info

  • Reportedly written by Roger (according to Jamie Moses), a snippet of the song was heard over Brian's and Roger's message at the most recent fan club convention.

Lyrics

Ain't got no hope, got no idea
What to do or why I'm here
Wanna get my face on your TV
I wanna be heard, I want to be seen

Ain't got nothin', no, nothin'
Nothing to show
Make me a celebrity

I want to be a face on TV
Then you can see
I'm a c-lebrity

Wanna get my features in magazines
See this creature on every street and every screen
Write my life story before I'm 21
I gotta tell the world
They may say I'm dumb

But I ain't got nothin', no, nothin'
Nothing to show
Make me a celebrity

I want to be a face on TV
Then you can see
I'm a c-lebrity

I wanna be a star, yeah
In a Broadway musical
Are ya gonna love me
Though i can't sing or dance at all
They might say, I'm lackadaisical
And if I was real good I'd stand no chance at all

I want to be a face on TV
Then you can see
I'm a c-lebrity

Then you can say you knew me one day
Then you will see I'm a c-lebrity

C- c-lebrity
I want to be a c- c- c-lebrity
I've got to be a c- c-lebrity
C- c- c- c-lebrity

I want to be heard
I want to be seen
On every TV screen
