Pete, John and I (Heather) were chatting and the conversation turned to celebs who try to blag the best table or special treatment. John laughed: "They swan about and say 'Do you know who I am?'" I said: "No, John, I don't think they say 'DO you know who I am?', they say 'DON'T you know who I am?"! John went quiet and a few days later said he'd written a song with that title. But this was not quite what Pete and I had expected...

Your eyes showed me that you loved me.
You were the only one who set my spirit free.
To you I lied, and so you cried,
Then I found you were no longer by my side.

Don't you know who I am?
I'm the man who threw our love away.
Don't you know who's crashing down?
I'm just a clown who they laugh at every day.

Your loving smile I miss so much,
Makes me ask what made me lose your loving touch.
You've left me now and I feel alone.
Why have my foolish ways left me on my own?
