Lyrics Van Morrison – Fame
Text:
Oh fame, they’ve taken everything and twisted it
Oh fame they say
You never could have resisted it
What’s in a name
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
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
