Badfinger - Name of the Game (Earlier Version) Lyrics
I saw the railway master and I looked him in the eyeI 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 dayOh, comfort me, dear brother, won't you tell me what you know?For somewhere in this paper world is a place where I can goOh, long awaiting mother, is it time to make a show?And take your babies to your breastNo, we never passed the testAnd all our sins should be confessed before we carry onOh, don't refuse meIf you choose me, you'll follow my shameNo, don't confuse meFor I know it's the name of the gameI got up off my pillow and I looked up at the sunI said, "You can see quite clearly, now, the things that we have doneWe 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
