As the great war is over and lost He's been wounded in war, he returns with awards Into battle again far from home From a far distant land, our Marshall command Home Siblings sent to their death His wife paid the ultimate price Still As the war rages on You are our guide Far, far from the fame Far, far away from the fame But we still remember your name Karel Janoušek! We mourn the day that you died So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride When the war has been fought and been won Our Marshall returns to be thrown into jail Facing torture and years behind bars When he's finally back, life in ivory black Home Siblings sent to their death His wife paid the ultimate price Still As the war rages on You are our guide Far, far from the fame Far, far away from the fame But we still remember your name Karel Janoušek! We mourn the day that you died So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride Far, far from the fame Far, far away from the fame But we still remember your name Karel Janoušek! We mourn the day that you died So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride Far, far from the fame Far, far away from the fame But we still remember your name Karel Janoušek! We mourn the day that you died So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride

Tonight, nobody came-fame, fashion Dreams of yesterday- fame, fashion Fashion and fame Nobody came, empty seats tonight Somebody said,"the'll all be here tommorow" You were a high-flying whirlwind Talk of the town Lost in the heart of the flame Had a lover in paris A pad in new york Thats the shifting, changing, shattering world of fame, fashion, fashion and fame Darling of the hip set out of control Victim of pleasure and pain Dance to please, love in threes, In the shifting, changing, shattering world of fame, fashion, fashion and fame They're taking photographs of you And the style of things you do. Fashion and fame
