Lyrics:

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?

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
Its such a cryin' shame, please tell me who's to blame
Keep on, keep on playin'
