Lyrics
CHORUS
Don’t you know that boy?
Have you forgotten his name?
He was yesterday’s idol,
He was the darling of fame.

How the crowds used to chase him,
When that boy was tops.
When he made an appearance,
They had to call out the cops.
Yes, it’s really him, woe,
He’s lookin’ down on his luck, woe,
He was yesterday’s idol,
But then the needle got stuck.
(Chorus)

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, yeh,
He was the darling of fame, yeh,
When he woke in the morning,
No one remembered his name.

That’s the way it goes, yeh,
It can happen that fast, yeh,
When you’re yesterday’s idol,
And your future has passed.
