this recording made when I was 19 or 20...one of the first two songs I ever wrote...which means I've been writing and singing bad songs for nigh on 26 years!
Yesterday, in court details released from a plagiarism trial involving Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, it was revealed that the song Stairway To Heaven has so far earned $526 million dollars - that's from ONE SONG!!!...so you see, as I've been saying for as long as I can remember, all I need is one hit.
...this probably ain't it.
I wrote the song - I'm singing and playing acoustic, Ben's bass and background vocals, John's on electric guitar and Jason's on drums.
The Game
There's
a picture of you in my head
that'll
never fade
and
your voice plays like a record
over
and over again
when
you look into my eyes can you
see
what might have been
this
game that we keep playin'
we'll
never win...
When
it hits the fan it seems like
I'm
always to blame
when
the sun is shining for you
you
don't remember my name
if
there's room in your heart for me
I
wish you'd let me know
you
always say that you're thinkin' of me
but
it doesn't show...
(chorus)
I
play the game and you pull my chain
either
way, baby, it's always the same
you
make the rules and I play the fool for you
I
play the fool...
