Guitarist and songwriter Brian James said about the song, “It’s probably the one song where I took real care with the lyrics.

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm craving for a cigarette
Hey give me a light
Feeling kind of thirsty
Give me something that bites
Sure been hanging 'round here
For much too long
All you crazy people waiting for my song
I said
[Chorus]
Well, here I am
I'm just another one-night stand
Anyway, I don't know why I'm sad
For my fan club
[Verse 2]
Waiting for an autograph
Well, you must be mad
Standing in the pissing rain
Must be a drag
If that's what you wanna do
I won't say no
If you wanna see more of me
See me after the show
I said
[Chorus]
Well, here I am
I'm just another one-night stand
Anyway, I don't know why I'm sad
For my fan club
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Well, you send me pretty flowers
While I'm slashing my wrists
Read those little letters
Through my smashed-out mists
The dream I shock you is my nightmare
I'm the freak that's on display
So stand and stare
I said
[Chorus]
Well, here I am
I'm just another one-night stand
Anyway, I don't know why I'm sad
For my fan club
