New Biography 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 thenHow 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 [Incomprehensible] they speak?So far away, way back when
The people that claim to have known me then
Down not on my wavelength and it's such a shame
That they have to play the name gameThe 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 InternetSo 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 gameThe fame game, oh, the name game

Oh, such a cryin' shame
Please tell me who's to blame?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 playThe 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 play
Have to play the fame gameOh, the name game
It's a cryin' shame
Please tell me who's to blame?They keep on playin'
The fame game, Lord, 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'

George Ivan Morrison (generally known as Van Morrison) (born 31 August 1945) is a Grammy Award-winning artist from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He's a singer, songwriter, author, poet, and multi-instrumentalist, who has been a professional musician since 1958. He plays a variety of instruments, including the guitar, harmonica, keyboards, drums, and saxophone. Featuring his characteristic growl - a unique mix of folk, blues, Irish, scat, and Celtic influences - Morrison is widely considered one of the most unusual and influential vocalists in the history of rock and roll.

Known as "Van the Man" by his fans, Morrison first rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Northern Irish band Them, writing their 1964 hit "Gloria". A few years later, Morrison left the band for a successful solo career, starting with the album Astral Weeks.

Morrison has pursued an idiosyncratic musical path. Much of his music is tightly structured around the conventions of American soul and R&B, such as the popular singles "Brown Eyed Girl", "Moondance", "Domino", and "Wild Night". An equal part of his catalogue consists of lengthy, loosely connected, spiritually inspired musical journeys that show the influence of Celtic tradition, jazz, and stream-of-consciousness narrative, such as his classic album Astral Weeks and lesser known works such as Veedon Fleece and Common One. The two strains together are sometimes referred to as "Celtic Soul," and Morrison rejects the characterization of his genre of music as Rock, citing Elvis Presley as a non-influence.

He continues to perform regularly, and achieved his highest U.S. chart position (number ten on the Billboard 200) with his latest album, Keep It Simple.
