(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
