Fame and Fortune - Graham Coxon video free download

Mostly known as the lead guitarist, backing vocalist and occasional lead vocalist of the rock band Blur, Graham Coxon is also a critically acclaimed solo artist having recorded seven solo albums. He is famous for being multi-instrumentalist and recording his albums single-handedly, without much help from session musicians.

This track is taken from his second solo album The Golden D (2000), the title of which is a tongue in cheek reference to his favourite guitar chord. The album cover is part of Coxon's paiting "The Blue Dog".

Lyrics:

Fame and fortune

Facts of life

Most of what makes it this useless try

So change the angle of the battle plan

To hit the target

Fame and fortune fancy that

Nothing but rabbits coming outta the hat

So try and catch a falling star

Crush it to dust and stuck it down a jar

And throw it far away

Now the void is back to front

See through people

See through monuments

No reply

The beginning, happy ending

The beginning, happy ending

The beginning, happy ending (one goes up, one goes down)

The beginning, happy ending (one goes up, one goes down)

Smash your face against the wall

Blinded, facing to the ground no no

Pretty faces on the wall

We fall

Piece a point disappear in the sky

Slack the ashes and make you do it right

Pretty faces on the wall Oh no no no

Fame and fortune is a stupid game and

Fame and fortune is the game i play

Fame and fortune is a stupid game and

Fame and fortune is the game i play

Fame and fortune is a stupid game and

Fame and fortune is the game i play

Fame and fortune is a stupid game and

Fame and fortune is the game i play

I'll play forever
