Living In Fame Lyrics - The Clash

So you've got to live up to your name 

Or else I'll put you to shame... listen! 

If you say you a selector 

You a fe have good selection 

A-and I say if you say you a de special 

Man I say I want to know your potential 

You a say you a madness 

You a say you a de best 

But when I put you 'pon you feet 

A-some a-some a say you can't play de beat 

And I hear you say a clash a you ruler 

Say a clash sound cooler, eh! 

Say a clash sound sweeter 

And now-a-days man a measure mile in a metre, eh!
