Van Morrison - Fame lyrics

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
Boundaries 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
