Van Morrison - New Biography lyrics
[Van Morrison - New Biography lyrics]
Where did they get the info from?
Same as before, some so-called friends
Who claim to have known me then
How come they've got such good memories
When I can't even remember last week?
Got to question where they're coming from
What knowledge of me is it that they speak?
So far away, way back when
The people that claim to have known me then
They're not on my wavelength and
It's such a shame
That they have to play the name game
The fame game, oh the name game
Lord it's a cryin' shame
Lord tell me what's to blame
Reinvented all the stories they know
Give them all a different slant
What is it that they're really looking for?
Just a hobby on the internet
So far away, way back when
The people that claim to have known me then
Not on my wavelength and it's such a shame
That they have to play the name game
The fame game, oh the name game
Oh such a cryin' shame
Please tell me who's to blame
(Alright, saxophone)
If they didn't really know me way back
How can they know me now in any respect?
It's a pity they don't feel the pain
That they should pay the price to pay
To play the fame game, oh the name game
It's such a cryin' shame
Please tell me who's to blame
Not on my wavelength and it's such a shame
That they have to pay, have to play
The fame game, oh the name game
It's a cryin' shame
Please tell me who's to blame
They keep on playin'
The fame game, oh the name game
It's a cryin' shame
Please tell me who's to blame
Keep on playin' the fame game, Lord
The name game it's such a cryin' shame
Please tell me who's to blame
They just keep on playin' the fame game
Oh the name game it's such a cryin' shame
Please tell me who's to blame
Keep on, keep on playin'
