Story behind the song
Meeting the opposite sex before Tinder...
Lyrics
Games We Had To Play
D CG A on repeat!
On the corner cheering with some friends who started leering at lady now appearing heading up the quartermile
Chat was inconsequential so I got experimental asked her if she was a dental nurse with such a lovey smile
I moved on to Lamenting all the spaces we're frequenting - some ideas I was presenting of the places we could start
I said or would you rather... but she was getting in a lather cos she'd argued with her father cos he said she looked a tart
GAF#mG
GAF#mG A
What a way to start the evening
All the games we had to play
All the conniving and deceiving
Surely there must be a better way
Though rash to advertise I thought her father was a skiver in a fight a pulveriser best to keep out of his way
Try to find a way of reaching without pleading or beseeching think of tricks I could be teaching her , ways to spend the day
Eventually she bought in so at last we've started courting though not quite the way I'd thought in my younger careless days
Not quite as action packed with expectations quite exacting , now I'm starting to feel trapped in a tarnished gilded cage
