Don't you know that boy?
Have you forgotten his name?
He was yesterday's idol,
he was the darling of
fame.
How the crowd used to chase him
when that boy was topside
When he made an appearance,
they had to call out the cops
Yes, it's really him,
oh, he's looking
down on his life, yeah
He was yesterday's idol,
but then the needle got stuck
Don't you
know that boy?
Have you forgotten his name?
He was yesterday's idol,
he was the darling of fame
They'd be tearin' his clothes off,
how the kids would scream
Now he sits in the shadows,
like a forgotten dream
Went to bed one night,
yeah, he was the darlin' of fame
Oh, when he awoke in the morning,
no one remembered his name
That's the way it goes,
yeah, it can happen that fast
Oh, and your yesterday's idle,
and your future has passed.
and then all, they're gone.
Before you can turn a,
you know, it's incredible.
If you'd have told me,
I'd have forgotten his name.
I would never have believed it.
