(Van Morrison)
|
Oh fame, they've taken everything and twisted it
|
Oh fame they say
|
You never could have resisted it
|
What's in a name
|
And everybody's jaded by fame
|
|
Oh fame again
|
The press has gone and made another mess of it
|
Oh just because they got
|
So much invested in it
|
But they say you're to blame it's your own fault
|
'Cos you got mixed up in fame
|
|
Oh no don't believe all that old Andy Warhol guff
|
It takes a lot more than 10 or 15 minutes
|
That's just not enough
|
To qualify you for
|
|
Fame, you went beyond the boundries of sanity
|
And every day you defy
|
All the laws of gravity
|
You ain't got no shame
|
'Cos you're just addicted to fame
|
|
Oh no don't you buy none of that old Andy Warhol stuff
|
It takes a lot more than 10 or 15 minutes
|
That's just not enough
|
To qualify you for
|
|
Fame, they're already setting up your own Watergate
|
Oh fame, that stalker out there is just filled with hate
|
You'll never be the same
|
'Cos everyone's corrupted by fame
|
|
Oh fame, they took away all my humanity
|
Oh fame got to fight
|
Every second of the day for my dignity
|
It's a spectator's game
|
And there ain't nothing fair about fame
|
|
Oh fame, oh fame
|
Oh fame say it again, fame
|
They say you're to blame
|
'Cos you got mixed up in fame
|
