Manilow, Barry - 15 Minutes Lyrics






Can’t call it a life
Knowing what I got inside me
Working a job
That any poor slob could fill
Watching the fireworks fly up
Out of some fairground
Over the hill

Fifteen minutes
Don’t let me be an untold story
Fifteen minutes
A nothing name
That no one ever knew
Fifteen minutes
Light the fuse
I’ll fly my way to glory
Comin’ through
Comin’ through

Fifteen minutes
That’s me within a blaze of glory
Fifteen minutes
A shooting star
Among the precious few
Fifteen minutes
Here I come
I’ll be the leading story
Comin’ through
Comin’ through
Comin’ through

There’s somebody else
Taking a turn on the spotlight
Feeling that love
And spinning above the clouds
Here I am just a nobody
Longing for hot light
Lost in the crowd

Fifteen minutes
Don’t let me be an untold story
Fifteen minutes
A song so low
That no one ever heard
Fifteen minutes
Make a deal
I’d sell my guts for glory
Say the word
Say the word
Say the word

Just gimme my shot
Riding the world like a rocket
Painting the sky
For all of those eyes below
Wouldn’t I fly the farthest
Couldn’t you clock it
Wouldn’t I go?

Fifteen minutes
Don’t let me be an untold story
Fifteen minutes
Break the mold
And get me up to speed
Fifteen minutes
Light the fuse
And I’ll lift off to glory
All I need
All I need

Fifteen minutes
That’s me within a blaze of glory
Fifteen minutes
I’d sell my soul
In order to succeed
Fifteen minutes
They’ll be tellin’
My amazing story
All I need
All I need
All I need
All I need
Fifteen minutes
Give me fifteen minutes
Give me fifteen minutes

Manilow, Barry 15 Minutes Comments
  1. L.... H....

    15 Minutes and Here At The Mayflower are my most played albums. Just can't get enough original Manilow. More please Barry.

  2. C.... E....

    A bop. Truly

  3. M.... P....

    Finally heard this album. Love it! This song (minus the selling the soul bit) is inspiring me to be bigger in the world.

  4. F.... T....

    Lizard king is here

  5. M.... a....

    I love his songs!!!

  6. O.... G....

    As a Barry Manilow fan, I got my boyfriend who likes heavy metal and classic rock to like Barry Manilow. He actually loves this album of Barry's; it's his favorite!

  7. J.... N....

    Britney Spears is an inspiration of this Album, of her public meltdown. Barry said it. It's really sad what she has been through.

  8. K.... ....

    One of my favorite Manilow albums ever! Every song is interesting and worth digging into! Couldn't even tell you which song is my favorite, because they're all so great!

  9. C.... P....

    Great song and amazing album - very meaningfully about the pitfalls of fame - all the Britneys, Mileys and Justins of today have to buy it and learn from the legend on how to control fame rather than have it control and ruin you.

  10. D.... N....

    Absolutely the best album ever!!! Who knew?!! Still a fan after all these years ...

  11. t.... o....

    he is amazing.......exemploto others singers,,,,thankyou for guive us true love,,,,,tuta,,,

  12. B.... M....

    Best singer and performer ever, without doubt.

  13. 1.... ....

    The lyrics to this story are powerful!
    Barry is so believable in this song.
    I have grown to LOVE hearing this song.

  14. M.... P....

    How did you ever cram 15 minutes into a 3-minute video? Duh!?!?!

  15. D.... S....

    The album is actually excellent. It succeeds as a single unit with each song building on the previous. The reprise, which is the second to last track,is beautiful. A lot of good song writing and performing on the album.

  16. H.... S....

    his voice grew older but it grew more powerful and sexy

  17. J.... ....

    Barry, First I would like to thank Bette Midler for having you sing your songs while on tour with her. She knows Heaven when she hears it.I've been told that music is good for the soul, for this me this is the truth, Thank You So Very Much.I Love the new cd, congrats Barry, I would like to know when the next one will be coming out? Love you always Barry.

  24. P.... P....

    Great video and love all the graphics and colors. Have the album and got it from QVC and saw the hour long show he was on a month ago. I have all his QVC albums and recorded most all the programs over the years and TV appearances. thanks for loving him as much as I do. Seen him 20 times all over the US and he is fantastic and thanks for the post.

  25. B.... V....

    wow i love it, i hope that do a remix in indie dance style!

  26. P.... P....

    Got the CD in the mail the other day from QVC and it is great.I saw him on CNN and QVC and Gayle King and George Lopez. He is fantastic and looks great at 65. All these interviews they all tried to butt into his personal life and Barry handled it with finesse and said no he was not going to answer those questions. Thanks for the post of this amazing song and all the songs from this album on YouTube and loving Barry as much as I do and have since 1973. Thanks for the post.

  27. G.... B....
