About

The title of Gary Louris’s ode to has-beens and never-wases pays obvious tribute to the seminal Memphis power pop band Big Star, a terribly influential and important act that never found the mass audience it probably deserved.

Big Star Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm flat busted
Wild-eyed and free
I couldn't get arrested if I tried
A has-been at a mere 35

[Verse 2]
Straight, honest
Forthright and true
Great expectations for someone
Doesn't anybody know how to have fun?

[Chorus]
But I'm gonna be a big star
I'm gonna be a big star someday
I'm gonna be a big star someday

[Verse 3]
The grape's bitter
I'm no quitter
Revolutions come, one by one
Seems it's high noon, and I ain't got no gun

[Bridge]
It's so hard
So hard
So hard getting by

[Chorus]
Gonna be a big star
I'm gonna be a big star someday
I'm gonna be a big star someday

[Verse 4]
Fine bourbon
Cuban cigars
Rude remarks observed in the C.C. Bar
I'm perfecting the finest art of wasting hours

[Chorus]
But I'm gonna be a big star
I'm gonna be a big star someday

[Outro]
I'm gonna be a big star
I'm gonna be a big star someday
