John Lennon
Fame (Live 1978)
[Verse 1]
Fame makes a man take things over
Fame lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame puts you there where things are hollow
Fame

[Chorus]
Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane
Fame

[Verse 2]
Fame what you like is in the limo
Fame what you get is no tomorrow
Fame what you need you have to borrow
Fame

[Chorus]
Fame, it's not the flame, it's just his game
Enough to keep you insane
Fame

[Refrain]
Sha-be-do-da-day, sha-be-de
Sha-be-do
Sha-be-do-da-day, sha-be-de
Sha-be-do
[Verse 3]
Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Is it any wonder you're far too cool to fool
Fame

[Chorus]
Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on pain
Fame

[Outro]
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?

[Audience Applause]

[Spoken]
Ha, good evening
We'd like to thank you for coming
We'll see you in about ten minutes time
