[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'
