Fame (2025 remaster) Songtext
von David Bowie

Let′s get going (is it any wonder?)

Fame (fame) makes a man take things over
Fame (fame) keeps him loose and hard to swallow
Fame (fame) puts you there where things are hollow
Shame (fame)

Fame, it's not your brain, just a flame
Enough to send you totally insane (′sane)
But that's fame (fame), yeah

Fame (fame), what you want is in your limo
Fame (fame), what you get is no tomorrow
Fame (fame), what you need, you have to borrow
Fame (fame)

Fame, "It's mine, it′s mine", just his line
Enough to send your man into a crime (crime)
Fame (fame)
Name of the game, Jane


Just pain, Jane, hey
C′mon, c'mon, c′mon

Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Fame (fame), fame, fame
Is it any wonder if I'm too cool to fool?
Fame (fame)

Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Gotta get a rain check on pain (pain)
That′s fame (fame), oh, yeah

Oh, yeah (fame), oh, yeah
Hey (fame), it's a pain, Jane
(Fame) c′mon, c'mon, c'mon, c′mon

(Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame)
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, ah (what′s your name?)
(Fame, fame, fame, fame) ow, ay
(Fame, fame, fame, fame) what's your name?
Thank you
