	Song about the Murder of Fashion Designer "Gianni Versace"
	CD: Gianni Versace Credits: Copyright John Pattison 1998
	Story Behind the Song This song was written when I heard about the Murder of the fashion designer Gianni Versace in Miami. It struck me that the last scene of his life was the pattern/design of blood on the stair where he had been shot outside his home. It is an analogy about the price of fame. What would you pay to be famous? Lyrics Take a look in the high Street Go window shop with the elite See the labels feel the style The wealth the chic another time of day What would you pay? In the morning new day dawning Bright and warm the same again An early stroll to get the world news Quick hello’s and smiles to greet the day What would you pay? See beyond the ties of youth See beyond the visual truth See beyond the blood stained stair You can see it everywhere GIANNI VERSACE I saw the pictures on the TV From the air the image showed The sticky pattern distant story A cordoned off Miami road What would you pay? I read the story no morning glory Learned about the fortune’d fame From rags to riches the world an oyster The label took you racing to your grave What would you pay? See beyond the ties of youth See beyond the visual truth See beyond the blood stained stair You can see it everywhere GIANNI VERSACE
