A Fan Speaks Lyrics

A Fan SpeaksI met Ray Davies in a Danish airportTurned out to be a real nice guyHe said "Keep writing your songs, manAs long as you can"And I think that was good adviceBut actually he didn't quite say thatI added that word "man"I'm just following his good wordsBut of course I'm a very big fanAnd I was just trying to make this thing scanI met many a famous personI'm not gonna drop any namesSure, I did mention RayWhen I started to playBut that's cos he is a credit to fameUnlike a few I could mentionWho actually quite freaked me outThey treated me like I was one of those guysWho carries a small gun aboutSo congratulations to those of youWho feel the need to congratulate your heroesIt may be tense for both of youBut I'm sure they appreciate the gestureBut commiserations to souls that are lostWho feel that murder is a way to get their love acrossGreat god above keep the people we loveFrom those merely seeking attentionYes, I know what it's like to be botheredAnd I know what it's like to be tiredBut you gotta hideIn some kinda disguiseTo be famous and yet be walked bySo, stars, watch your manners around meYou don't have to talk to me longI may not pull a gun out on youBut I might write you into this songSo, congratulations to those of youWho feel the need to congratulate your heroesIf someone means a lot to youIt surely rates a mentionBut commiserations to souls that are lostWho feel that killing is a way to get their lvoe acrossGreat God above, keep the stars that we loveFrom those merely seeking attention
