Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held

I want to go down in musical history

Frankly, Mr. Shankly, I'm a sickening wreck

I've got the 21st century breathing down my neck

I must move fast, you understand me

I want to go down in celluloid history, Mr. Shankly

F Am G
Fame, fame, fatal fame
Am G C
It can play hideous tricks on the brain

But still I'd rather be famous
Am G
Than righteous or holy
Am G F C
Any day, any day, any day
[Verse 4]
F Am G
But sometimes I'd feel more fulfilled

Making Christmas cards with the mentally ill
F Am G
I want to live and I want to love
Am G F C
I want to catch something that I might be ashamed of
[Verse 5]
F Am G
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held

It pays my way and it corrodes my soul

Oh, I didn't realise that you wrote poetry
Am G F C
I didn't realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry, Mr. Shankly
[Verse 6]
F Am G
Frankly, Mr. Shankly, since you asked
Am G C
You are a flatulent pain in the arse
F Am G
I didn't mean to be so rude
Am G F
Still, I must speak frankly, Mr. Shankly
C
Oh, give us your money!
