Magnum - Ya Wanna Be Someone Lyrics






Said you'd been born somebody rich
A royal flush, you're one
While counting every stitch
I bet that's just no fun

An empty mind, an empty heart
It's crystal clear that you
Would never play a part
You know, you know it's true

Yeah, people were laughing behind your back
Oh, one step away, don't know where you're at

You wanna be someone
Ya think that you've got it made
You're like an empty gun
You're not thing you portrayed
Walking through paradise out of your head

You wanna be someone
You know it's all in your mind
You're not the seventh son
Although you crossed every line
Writing the stories that no-one has read

We're all just men that have to face
We're not above, don't act
Don't give that false embrace
You smiled just to distract

Well you believe there's just one way
So take it to the end
'Cause that what fools would say
You know, you just pretend

Yeah, are you still preaching, is that a fact
You, Gideon's bible and zodiac

You wanna be someone
Ya think that you've got it made
You're like an empty gun
You're not thing you portrayed
Walking through paradise out of your head

You wanna be someone
You know it's all in your mind
You're not the seventh son
Although you crossed every line
Writing the stories that no-one has read

A selfish man making plans to screw the never never
Always obsessed trying to get what he can
A selfish man thinking he's the one to be so clever
Might be well dressed but he don't understand

You wanna be someone
Ya think that you've got it made
You're like an empty gun
You're not thing you portrayed
Walking through paradise out of your head

You wanna be someone
You know it's all in your mind
You're not the seventh son
Although you crossed every line
Writing the stories that no-one has read

    Is this song about former keyboard player stanway or is the song storm baby? Thanks if anyone can tell me.

    D.... D....

    Both Clarkin has lost his mind he is finished and so is Magnum.

  3. L.... K....

    I love Magnum, but this tune, and the whole album, is well below their standard. Crap. They ripped the YEAH part from fucking Backstreet Boys (unfortunately I'm not kidding, listen to their tune Everybody). Can you go lower than that??

    L.... K....

    Sorry you dont like the song, may be the next album will be better for you but as far as the yeah yeah's go thats all me Im afraid, just me singing and no samples from anywhere else. sorry but i hope this info helps u in someway. I really hope we can give you songs on the next album you like, cheers Al.

    Leeroy Kincaid: I agree; tired, uninspired & very cliché.
    Dunno the Backstreet Boys-tune, tho, but this is so far away from quality Magnum.

    L.... K....

    Typical fare from barrow the hired hand he never could sing now they are ripping of other artists this man has singlehandedly destroyed Magnum.

  4. n.... 3....

    What a dreadful song. Cheap, obnoxious and offensive lyrics combined with endless painful yeah yeah passages. These days the remaining Magnum fans really have a lot to suffer through.

  5. K.... N....

    The most boring album they have released in my point of view. Without Love was refreshing and promising , but then when I listened to the album I think it's the most tad album they ever relesed. Then the shameful writing about former keyboard player, Mark Stanway, I lost a lot of respect of the band to...rest in peace Magnum - A band very lost on the road to the end.

    K.... N....

    Kenneth Nordin
    I couldn't agree more Kenneth it is a sad demise for a once great band.

    K.... N....

    you two sados.

    K.... N....

    Now we are three

  6. \.... w....

    Shameful writing slanderous songs about former Superior members.

    \.... w....

    Totally agree on that! It's rude and disrespectful

  7. t.... w....

    It’s unbelievable how underrated these guys are

  8. F.... F....

    This whole album is like a new awakening ... so damn good

  9. A.... M....
