Guy Barnes: Singer and Songwriter

Here I Am

Everybody's searching for a future
Life's a bitch so don't let it get to ya

World watch out now
'Cos here I am
World watch out now
'Cos here I am
World watch out now
'Cos here I am

Here I am

Everybody wants to be somebody
Be true to yourself
And you won't be nobody

World watch out now
'Cos here I am
World watch out now
'Cos here I am
World watch out now
'Cos here I am

Here I am

You gotta shout out loud
You gotta raise the roof
That you're the winner here
That you're living proof
In this game called life
It's your name you shout out proud
So c'mon shout it out loud

Everybody wants to be a hero
Fight the fight
And you'll never be a zero

World watch out now
'Cos here I am
World watch out now
'Cos here I am
World watch out now
'Cos here I am

Here I am

Joaney was a stripper
In a dive down by the coast
Big dreams of getting famous
But how she didn't know
Wasn't very pretty
Wasn't very bright
Couldn't sing or act, play anything
But man she went all night

And she thought 15 minutes is all I need

Danny was a barman
Cocktail extraordinaire
Brick shithouse built
A mockney lilt
And sprayed on hair
Delusions of grandeur
From the woman that he laid
Went on games shows, Kyle and Springer
It gave him what he craved

He thought 15 minutes is all I need

15
I'll go to chniawhites
Get pictured all night with a football star
15
I've got nothing upstairs
Just a big pair here they are
15
I'll win big brother
Now I'm on the cover of Hello mag
But what can I do'
Do I deserve to be news'
When 15 minutes is all I have

Tina was an actress
She's toiled for 14 years
After working all day for minimum pay blood sweat and tears
Auditioned for a project, presenting for the beeb
But Joaney got the part
Because she shoved a bottle up her ass on live TV

She thought 15 minutes is all I need

There's nothing clever
It's just plain sad
To make a name outa nothing you ever had
If you don't pay your dues
You're just yesterday's news
