Only Fans

If it's true that one's company and two is a crowd
There were three many people singing too loud
It's a joke that hits too close to home
One that no one's laughing at anymore

There's no overnight success

Only morning Fans
Who Keep as far as they can
Watching disinterested the stage
With a drink in their hand
It's a shot in the dark
A guide dog that barks
I would have changed
If I'd known what i'd become
This little song and dance
Is taking a stance
Let's put a gig up my man
You won't see all of my friends
Only overnight Fans

All my favourite albums are old enough to drink in the UK
And I've sat long enough at the table but haven't won a single game
I'm not your favourite artist anymore
But you don't know what's left in store
With no lies to keep me warm and no gun to kiss in vain
What am I supposed to scorn now that I am older than Cobain

There's no overnight success

Only morning fans
Who Keep as far as they can
Watching disinterested the stage
With a drink in their hand
It's a shot in the dark
A guide dog that barks
I would have changed
If I'd known what i'd become
This little song and dance
Is taking a stance
Let's put a gig up my man
You won't see all of my friends
Only overnight

And yes it's not how it went
But I'd do it again
Quickly write with your heart
There's no time for revenge
Share that track of an album
Gift the record to a friend
Save your excuses for them
I'll break a leg when I can
A toast to all of my plans
And dreams of dissent
You think I'd have changed
If I'd known how it went
You won't see all of my friends

Only overnight Fans
