Fame — текст песни (Van Morrison)

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
