David Bowie — Fame '90

[my-chaos-radio]

Release: March 20, 1990

Lyrics:

Songwriter:

Fame, makes a man take things over

Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow

Fame, puts you there where things are hollow

Fame

Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame

That burns your change to keep you insane

Fame

Fame-f-fame

Fame, what you like is in the limo

Fame, what you get is no tomorrow

Fame, what you need you have to borrow

Fame

Fame, "Nien! It's mine!" is just his line

To bind your time, it drives you to crime

Fame

(What's your name?)

Fame

Could it be the best, could it be?

Really be, really, babe?

Could it be, my babe, could it babe?

Really, really?

Is it any wonder I reject you first?

Fame, fame, fame, fame

Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool

Fame

Fame-f-fame

Fame, bully for you, chilly for me

Got to get a rain check on pain

Fame

Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame

Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame

Fame, fame, fame

Fame

What's your name?

(whispered)

Feeling so gay, feeling gay

Carlos Alomar / David Bowie / John Lennon

[soupy-sales2004]

check it out I want fame

I wanna be famous

I wanna be a star

I'm sick of being nameless

and though I strive for daily survival

I know the world awaits my arrival

some say, latifah, do me a favor

won't you sell us crack?

let's see a famous drug dealer

pffft, the hell with that

me, the queen, condone the negative? no

it's obvious to me you must be suffering from a head blow

but I'm fine

I got my peace of mind and my state of mind

I've descend from kings and queens of a long line

but my friends they drop insies and outies

I remember yesterday they couldn't walk without me

I went on a soul kick and left those bad habits

while illegally they multiplied dollars like rabbits

oh, the consequences could be grave as hell

I could go straight to jail

or be a dead black female

sometimes I don't care

I should get buck wild

pitching my mother burying her only girl child (?)

I reconsider another day, another dream

always caught up in the thought as it seems

still the fame it eludes me

the negative pursues me

I wear battle scars from the time they abused me (?)

but still I wanna go someplace where everybody knows my name

in other words fame

still the fame it eludes me the negative pursues me

but still I wanna go someplace where everybody knows my name

in other words fame

I want fame

I know the world awaits my arrival

still the fame it eludes me the negative pursues me

check it out I want fame

check it out I want fame

fame

in other words fame

in other words fame
