Cool song Carroll, very early Beatles. Did you have anyone in mind when you wrote it?
Great song, absolutely loved it.
One of them easy sing-a-longs, with a can't forget hook.
Well done,
Sid

"Mr Used To Be" is a great hook. Music sounds good.
Can't really comment on the lyric because once again you have neglected to post it.

Mr. Used to be
Verse
He was handsome, he was dashing
People would applaud.
He was flying, he was flying
Till he came down hard.
Now he’s nothing, he is no one.
Mr. Used to be.
Pre chorus
Reminiscing, recollecting,
Reliving yesterdays.
The bar room is his stage.
Chorus
Now he’s nothing, he’s no one.
Mr. Used to be.
Mr. Used to be.
Verse
He was something, he was some one
People could admire.
He was burning, he was burning.
Man was he on fire.
Now he’s nothing, he is no one.
Mr. Used to be.
Pre chorus
Reminiscing, recollecting,
Reliving yesterdays.
The bar room is his stage.
Chorus
Now he’s nothing, he’s no one.
Mr. Used to be.
Mr. Used to be.
Bridge
Once I admired him
But now it’s sad to see.
Hope I don’t become
Another used to be.

Thank you.
I enjoyed the alliteration here:
Reminiscing, recollecting,
Reliving yesterdays.
I like the combined use of :
Now he’s nothing, he is no one.
and
He was something, he was some one
I wasn't sure initially about the repeat on "flying" in v1, but just reading it again I thinks it works - gives it weight.

Nice. I agree with all the things Owen likes about the lyric.
Nice bouncy melody, although for me the chorus is maybe a bit too similar to the verse.
