It happened all so quickly   I was too young   I had too much   Before I'd even begun   I touched the glittering prizes   I had them in my hand   But when I turned it down   You didn't understand   But I'm feeling much better now   I've only just begun   And soon I know my day will come   Don't get me wrong   It's not a hard luck story number 39   Just to hear my song on the radio   Was all I ever hoped   Soon realised, I couldn't cope   You can keep your hits   And your silver discs   I'll stick two fingers to fame   Don't cry for me   It's not a shame   It's not a hard luck story number 39
