Name Of The Game

Name Of The Game (Remastered 2010) - Badfinger

I saw the railway master

And I looked him in the eye

I said would you go much faster

If you thought that you would die

He said not me sir I could not care

In fact I would not try

For protest would not take me far

It's different me not being a star

I lock my feelings in a jar until another day

Oh comfort me dear brother

Won't you tell me what you know

For somewhere in this painful world is a place

Where I can go

Oh long awaiting mother is it time to make a show

And take your babies to your breast

No we never passed the test

And all our sins should be confessed before we carry on

Oh don't refuse me

If you choose me you'll follow my shame

No don't confuse me

For I know it's the name of the game

I got up off my pillow

And I looked up at the sun

I said you can see quite clearly

Now the things that we have done

We burned your sacred willow

And our battles we have won

But did we get so very far

It's different me not being a star

I lock my feelings in a jar until we go away

Oh don't refuse me

If you choose me you'll follow my shame

No don't confuse me

For I know it's the name of the game

Oh don't refuse me

If you choose me you'll follow my shame

No don't confuse me

For I know it's the name of the game
