[00:14.430]Lord tell me how long it's going to take me to get famous
[00:25.860]Will it take a week in vaudeville a season in pantomime
[00:29.280]Two years on the West End stage a decade or maybe more
[00:38.790]Because I can't afford to wait 'til
[00:40.680]I'm dribbling bald toothless spineless and brainless
[00:51.780]I don't believe in your afterlife and your posterity
[00:54.990]But if they exist I must be at least half the way there
[01:05.459]And Lord what if it takes a decade
[01:12.270]I am no longer young
[01:18.570]Show me the road to fame Lord show me that road
[01:23.490]Or just the road to the next whiskey bar
[01:31.710]And Lord what will it take what will it
[01:34.560]Take to get me to be and to stay famous
[01:43.920]Am I going to have to sell my soul
[01:45.900]To the stylists and the tailors of this world
[01:48.750]If I'm not to go down in history as one of the failures
[01:56.880]Lord teach me the boy band dance routines
[02:00.150]Above all teach me to be tame bland blind and blameless
[02:06.780]Cos that's the hardest thing of all to be aggressive and yet remain harmless
[02:12.930]To edit out my impure thoughts when
[02:15.240]You know so well Lord that I'm shameless
[02:19.350]Principled amoral provocative confrontational and shameless
[02:24.120]And Lord how long did it take you to get famous
[02:36.270]After you'd created this fantastic planet and all the animals upon it
[02:41.970]That creep about upon its surface
[02:44.520]It must've taken a million years or more before
[02:52.530]Anyone even thought to give a name to the nameless
[02:59.520]And then in the blinking of an eye the backlash came
[03:06.570]The cynics crowded round saying you didn't even exist
[03:11.460]Oh fashion is fickle Lord you know that more than I do
[03:14.700]The backlash always comes no matter what you've done
[03:17.490]Created a world or that difficult third album
[03:20.820]And the Lord said：
[03:22.800]Don't ask me I have no idea
[03:26.550]All I know how to do is how to hide
[03:36.150]How to hide and disappear
[03:45.900]Lord tell me where will it take me
[03:50.160]What strange place will it take me being famous
[03:58.080]Am I destined to be rich beyond the wildest dreams of men
[04:01.890]Will I rest at last between the breasts
[04:04.320]And legs of delicate oriental girls and make babies
[04:11.130]Will I be transported back to the house
[04:13.650]Where I was born in a limousine twenty foot long
[04:17.490]While a crowd stands by foaming at the mouth like dogs with rabies
[04:25.440]Will I be borne on the shoulders of the crowd
[04:28.080]Will I be taken from the back of the stadium
[04:30.240]To the front of the stadium to the back of the stadium
[04:32.610]Tossed around and shocked by what was allowed
[04:38.250]And Lord who do you have to sleep with in this town
[04:42.660]Who do you have to go down on to get famous
[04:48.120]Lord tell me what soundtracks do
[04:51.630]I have to do what d**gs do I have to do how old is too old
[04:56.010]How many free copies should I give away with every album sold
[04:59.910]I'm not trying to say I'm fit to dine at your table
[05:02.730]All I'm saying is we all use the same tricks if we're able
[05:06.090]Lord I have friends I've watched them one by one become famous
[05:16.470]While they complimented me on my songs I smiled in my corner alone
[05:21.030]Watched their inner birds spread their wings and fly
[05:30.630]Though I had an inner bird too Lord
[05:33.930]You know mine remained a swan in cellophane
[05:41.400]Trapped under a glass ceiling a bird in a transparent cage
[05:45.870]Lord why do this to me Why let me die
[05:48.960]Having given me a bird and never let it fly
[05:52.020]Lord why Why
[05:57.000]And Lord tell me how long did it take you to get famous
[06:08.910]You who sent your dearly beloved son down
[06:13.830]To walk the planet earth and be amongst us
[06:21.210]You who chose to give him sensational powers
[06:24.540]So he could do tricks much better than ours
[06:27.360]And work miracles to impress us
[06:32.670]Lord you did it for the publicity I know I understand
[06:39.810]But then the backlash came we turned on your son and he was slain
[06:46.230]No matter what you've done the backlash always comes
[06:49.020]Created a world given your son or your difficult third album
[06:52.860]And the Lord said：
[06:54.420]Don't ask me I have no idea
[06:59.010]All I know how to do is how to hide
[07:11.640]And disappear
[07:17.340]So I said：
[07:18.840]Lord if that is all you can say to me
[07:25.230]Share with me the secret of your immaculate obscurity
