About me: To be someone must be a wonderful thing
a famous footballer or a rocksinger
or a big filmstar
yes I think that I would like,
and to be rich and have lots of fans
and lots of girls to prove that I'm a man
and to be number one and liked by everyone
getting drugged up with my trendy friends
they really dig me man and i dig them
and the money that I spent
it is like my fame man it's quickly gone
no more swiming in my guitar shaped pool
no more reporters at my beck and call
no more cocaine it's only ground chalk
and no more taxis so we'll have to walk
but didn't we have a nice time
yeah wasn't it such a nice time
didn't we have a nice time
i realise i should have stuck to my guns
they spit me out just like a bastard son
and i lost myself
and i know that it was wrong, but it cost me a lot
there's no more drinking when the club shuts down
i'm out here on my arse with the rest of the clowns
i'm really scared without my bodyguard
and i'm sitting on my own in my expensive yard
but didn't i have a nice time
wasn't it such a nice time
didn't i have a nice time
wasn't it such a nice time
did i have a nice time?
did i have a nice time?
i can't remember if i had a nice time
to be someone must me a wonderful thing
Who I'd like to meet: WILL
When did you know she was the one?
SEAN
October 21, 1975. Game six of the
World Series. Biggest game in Red Sox
history, Me and my friends slept out
on the sidewalk all night to get
tickets. We were sitting in a bar
waiting for the game to start and in
walks this girl. What a game that
was. Tie game in the bottom of the
tenth inning, in steps Carlton Fisk,
hit a long fly ball down the left
field line. Thirty-five thousand fans
on their feet, screamin' at the ball
to stay fair. Fisk is runnin' up the
baseline, wavin' at the ball like a
madman. It hits the foul pole, home
run. Thirty-five thousand people
went crazy. And I wasn't one of them.
WILL
Where were you?
SEAN
I was havin' a drink with my future
wife.
WILL
You missed Pudge Fisk's homerun to
have a drink with a woman you had never
met?
SEAN
That's right.
WILL
So wait a minute. The Red Sox haven't
won a World Series since nineteen
eighteen, you slept out for tickets,
games gonna start in twenty minutes,
in walks a girl you never seen before,
and you give your ticket away?
SEAN
You should have seen this girl. She
lit up the room.
WILL
I don't care if Helen of Troy walked
into that bar! That's game six of the
World Series!
Sean smiles.
WILL (cont'd)
And what kind of friends are these?
They let you get away with that?
SEAN
I just slid my ticket across the table
and said "sorry fellas, I gotta go see
about a girl."
WILL
"I gotta go see about a girl"? What
did they say?
SEAN
They could see that I meant it.
WILL
You're kiddin' me.
SEAN
No Will, I'm not kiddin' you. If I
had gone to see that game I'd be in
here talkin' abouta girl I saw at a
bar twenty years ago. And how I always
regretted not goin' over there and
talkin' to her. I don't regret the
eighteen years we were married. I
don't regret givin' up couseling for
six years when she got sick. I don't
regret being by her side for the last
two years when things got real bad.
And I sure as Hell don't regret missing
that damn game.
A beat. Will is impressed.
WILL
Would have been nice to catch that
game though.
SEAN
(breaking)
Well hell, I didn't know Pudge was
gonna hit the home run.
