Lyrics
(I WANT MY OWN) BRIAN EPSTEIN
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP
I want my own Brian Epstein
Someone who will keep me in line
Like the tracks on the B&M line
To get me to my home
I want my own Brian Epstein
Someone to look after me
Someone who’ll be there for me
Whenever I’m alone
When the alarm clock rings I will roll back to my slumber
When the telephone rings I will leave it for another
Time to catch the midtown but I don’t recall the number
Time to meet an old friend, what’s her name, did I once love her?
Lately I feel so out of control
It’s a feeling that nobody knows
I can’t tell you, it doesn’t make sense
I thought I’d be somewhere besides this (by now)
I could write a story but I couldn’t be a reader
I could get religion but I wouldn’t hear the preacher
I could be a hippie but someone would steal my reefer
Find a girl to marry but I prob’ly couldn’t keep her
Oh oh oh
I want my own Brian Epstein
I need him to keep me in line
He might be a girl, it might be a boy, might be the Lord,
Might be this noise, might be this song, just string me along…
I want my I want my….
I want my own Brian Epstein to keep me in line
