Van Morrison — New Biography

[Verse 1] See you've got the new biography 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? [Pre-Chorus] So far away, way back when The people that claim to have known me then [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] So far away, way back when The people that claim to have known me then [Chorus] 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) [Saxophone solo] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 Its such a cryin' shame, please tell me who's to blame Keep on, keep on playin'
