The Game — текст песни (Echo & The Bunnymen)

A sense of duty
was my one intention
and an ugly beauty
was my own invention
Pride a proud refusal
and I refuse
to need your approval
Too many seekers
Too few beacons
But through the fog
we`ll keep on beaming


Through the crying hours
of your glitter years
all the living out
of your tinsel tears
and the midnight trains
I never made
`cos I`d already
played...the game


Everybody`s
got their own good reason
why their favorite season
is their favorite season
Winter winners
and those summers sons
aren`t good for everyone
aren`t good for everyone
Spring has sprung
and autumns well done
so well done


And it`s a better thing
that we do now
forgetting everything
the whys and hows
While you reminisce
about the things you miss
you won`t be ready
to kiss...goodbye


The earth is a world
The world is a ball
A ball in a game
with no rules at all
And just as I wonder
at the beauty of it all
you go and drop it
and it breaks and falls


I`ll never understand
why you thought I would
need to be reassured
and be understood
When I always knew
that your bad`s my good
and I was ready
ready...to be loved


Born under Mars
With Jupiter rising
Fallen from stars
That lit my horizon


I`ll never understand
why you thought I would
need to be reassured
and be understood
When I always knew
that your bad`s my good
and I was ready
ready...to be


Through the crying hours
of your glitter years
all the living out
of your tinsel tears
and the midnight trains
I never made
`cos I`d already
played


it`s a better thing
that we do now
forgetting everything
the whys and hows
While you reminisce
about the things you miss
you won`t be ready
to kiss...goodbye
