But don't overdo it for God's sake...) Verse: (listen to record for accurate rhythm!)

Feel free!) As for the solo and middle section I really don't know. Except live there's a really cool jazzy clean part in the middle. It has a '3/8 against 4/4'-feel which may take a little time to get into for the unintiated...

There's no guitar playing during the third verse... And now for something completely and utterly silly: The Lyrics (rap style) 1st Verse: Well I was sitting in my limousine drinking champagne, when this little girl knocked on my door She was a'crying for my money so I told her: "Little honey, I haven't got enough. I need more!" But anyway I asked her to sit on my seat, so I could mingle off her clothes and feel her heart beat 1st Chorus: Everybody knows my name. Everybody wants my fame. There's nobody I can blame. Jamie Fame Flame, that's my name. (Huh!) 2nd Verse: The next day in the paper I read about a raper, and a picture that was supposed to be me. When I didn't seem to care, and was walking down the stairs, there was a crowd that were shouting on me; They were jumping on my pictures, burning all my record, closing down the fanclub, turning over my car! So then I realized that they all were hypnotized, and that I was no longer a star! 2nd Chorus: Everybody hates my name Maybe I should do the same There's just one man I can blame Jamie Fame Flame, that's my name 3rd Verse: So when I woke up in the morning in the middle of a desert, I found myself alone without clothes I was a'freezin', I was yawning but I met this little wizard, and he taught me how to sing with my nose: (Sing through you nose!!!:) We sang a lot of songs of what is right and what is wrong, I felt like if a was I a haze. Then he took me to a cave where an elder woman sat That was the place where I was ending my days! 3rd Chorus: Everybody knew my name Everybody wanted my fame There's just one man I could blame Jamie Fame Flame was my name (This is done from memory so there might be a few errors. Please correct me!) Er der egentlig andre end danskere der l?ser dette? Hvorfor s? skrive p? engelsk? Hilsen [email protected] P.S.: Check min v?mmeside: http://fys.ku.dk/~wichmann/
