Famous People Lyrics by Split Enz

The Rootin Tootin Luton Tapes

1979

Famous people got no life of their own
Famous people spend all day on the phone
In the telling, the joke's in the telling
The song's in the singing, singing, oh

Famous people up on top of the tree
When the wind blows, they will knock at the knee
In the falling, the climb's in the falling
The cry's in the calling, calling, oh

Famous people...

Famous people got no flesh on the bone
You got to keep your figure, figure fame as a loan
And forever, your names live forever
The real you must never interfere

Famous people...
