about

Fame!!!

lyrics

Fame is a wonder drug
People know your name
Everything is wonderful
Life is all a game
You float around on a cloud
In a state of grace
They’re not like you or I
They might as well be from outer space
And down here at the bottom of the heap
We’ve got to know our place
Bow to our masters
And wave our begging plates

They might give you funding
If you’re nice to their face
If you scrub up squeaky clean
And shine in the marketplace
It’ll take some work though
Coz you’ve got to earn your place
Work out your demographic
And disengage your brain
They don’t want any smarty pants
Or anyone who’s a god-damned pain
Just some pretty faces
And stuff that radio’ll play

I wish you every luck pal
As you play their game
And scramble up their ladder
In your quest for fame
Me - I’ll stay down here
In the land of the sane
For me there’s no posterity
There’s no hall of fame
No slobbering, fawning critics
No big fucking rock star behaviour
I’ll just do my songs
Then I’ll be on my way
I’ll be on my way etc.
To some other plane
