‘15 Minutes’ is a song about Andy Warhol’s famous comment on having “15 minutes of fame.”
This as the eponymously-named final song on Kershaw’s album is a commentary about the ephemeral nature of being a famous pop star.
Fifteen minutes, that's all you get
One quarter hour, to get it all together
That's nine hundred seconds to make
Your bed
Fifteen minutes to show the world
You think you're something, that's what it's like
The one and only, the centre of attention
You're on you're high horse
Then you're on your bike
'Cos you've got fifteen minutes to show
The world
Fifteen minutes to show the world
Blow me kisses forever
Show me this is a love forever
Well, there's been some misunderstanding
But that don't bother you
You never let it get you down, you can show
Them all next time around
Swallow this sound bite, you won't have time
To chew
'Cos you've got fifteen minutes to show
The world
That's fifteen minutes to show the world
Feed me honey I'll live forever
Throw me money I'll live forever
Fifteen minutes, that's all you get
One quarter hour, to get it all together
That's nine hundred seconds to make
Your bed
And don't go hesitating
'Cos someone else is waiting for his
Fifteen minutes
Fifteen minutes
Fifteen minutes to show the world
Singin' la la la la
