about

Famous, from Colin's sixth Studio album 'Water on Snow', a co-write with Charlie Dore, originally released in the year 2000, it is a wry sardonic take on the world of Fame. A firm favourite from Colin's solo live shows, in this version Paul Tiernan, multi instrumentalist, vocalist, singer /songwriter and producer assumes lead vocal duties with Dogtail Soup, the supergroup formed by Colin, Fergus O'Farrell, Maurice Seezer, Camilla Griehsel and Paul himself with assorted musicians from the Interference collective.

lyrics

________________________________________________

Famous [Colin Vearncombe/Charlie Dore]

I should be a star driving all the girls insane
Shower me with oysters, swimming in the best champagne
I’d never lift a finger
Just be the biggest swinger
I, I should be famous
Yes, I should be famous
Wear the finest clothes, have a brand new nose

A chauffeured limousine, Jacuzzi in the back for two
A mystery companion, you could be that girl
If you can swing it in the fast lane
Silk lingerie and cocaine

I, I should be famous
Oh I, I should be famous
I’d say no, no press’ change my mind
Say yes and then turn and smile
In my own sweet style

I’d never lift a finger
Just be the biggest swinger
I, I should be famous
Oh, I should be famous
I should be famous
