[Intro]
[Verse 1: Dave Hemingway]
I was handed down the looks
Of a man with a broken nose
That's the way our family was
I suppose
But at least you gave me
Deeply profound
As we lay and chatted late
Upon the cricket ground
[Pre-Chorus 1: Paul Heaton, Hemingway & Heaton]
You didn't have to love me
Where others got rid
You didn't have to treat me like a very good friend
But I'm glad that you did, I'm glad that you did
[Chorus 1: Hemingway & Heaton]
One thing I never said to you
And one thing I never can
Amongst the false applause and the deafening cheers
I'm your number one fan, I'm your number one fan
[Verse 2: Briana Corrigan]
I'm the richly blessed daughter
Of a mother with tattooed arms
That's the way my family life
Life was charmed
But at least it gave me
Mental grace
And a thought, oh, at the pit of my mind
And a smile on my face
[Pre-Chorus 2: Heaton, Hemingway & Heaton]
You didn't have to listen to a
A word that I'd said
You didn't have to tell me all those silly old jokes
For every tear that I shed, every tear that I shed
[Chorus 2: Hemingway & Heaton]
'Cause one thing I never said to you
And one thing I never can
Amongst the false applause and the deafening cheers
I'm your number one fan, I'm your number one fan
[Refrain 1: Heaton]
Yes I am
[Verse 3: Heaton]
I was handed down a bike
With a crooked old wheel
But I rode it on a million lanes
The way that you made me feel
But at least we thought about it
So long and hard
As we sat upon our mother
In the graveyard
[Pre-Chorus 3: Heaton, Hemingway & Heaton]
And you don't have to listen
To a, a word in this song
Your picture hangs the same and in the same old place
Even though that you've gone, even though that you've gone
[Chorus 2: Hemingway & Heaton]
'Cause one thing I never said to you
And one thing I never can
Amongst the false applause and the deafening cheers
I'm your number one fan, I'm your number one fan
[Refrain 2: Heaton]
Yes, I am
I'm your number one fan
Yes, I am
Yes, I am
I'm your number one fan
Yes I am
