New Biography Songtext
von Van Morrison

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
And I can′t even remember last week
Got to queston 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
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
Ooooh, the name game,
Oh it′s such a cryin' shame
Tell me who′s to blame

"Allright 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 play, to play
The fame game, oooh 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 play, have to play the fame game
Oooh the name game
It′s a cryin' shame
Please tell me who′s to blame
They keep on playin'
The fame game
Ooh the name game
It's such 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′
