Name of the Game (2010 Remaster)

Saw the railway master

And I looked him in the eye

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

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)

Protest would not take me far

It's different me not being a star

I lock my feelings in a jar until another day"

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Oh, comfort me, dear brother

Won't you tell me what you know?

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Somewhere in this painful world

Is a place where I can go

Oh, long awaiting mother

Is it time to make your show?

And take your babies to your breast

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)

No, we never passed the test

All our sins should be confessed before we carry on

(Ooh-ooh)

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

Got up off my pillow

And I looked up at the sun

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Said "You can see quite clearly now

The things that we have done

We've burned your sacred willow

And our battles we have won

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)

But did we get so very far?

It's different me not being a star

Lock my feelings in a jar until we go away"

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

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
