80s Pop classic of the day: "Games People Play" by the Alan Parsons Project (1980) If you were listening to pop radio in 1980,you are familar with this song.I don't know too much about the Alan Parsons project,but there are so many "music experts" around here who will,no doubt,clue me in on these guys.The only other song from them that I'm familar with is their 1984 hit "Eye In The Sky",which I love (remember the awesome video?).But there is something really special about "Games People Play".To me,this song sounds mysterious and the haunting lyrics are kinda dark,for a pop hit anyway ("where do we go from here now that all other children are growin' up"...."games people play in the middle of the night"),but it's a well-crafted composition with a superb chorus.
"Games People Play" (wriiten by Woolfson/Parsons) Where do we go from here now that all other children are growin' up and how do we spend our lives if there's no one to lend us a hand I don't wanna live here no more I don't wanna stay Aint' gonna spend the rest of my life quietly fading away (chorus) Games People Play you take it or you leave it things that they say Honor Brite If I promise you the moon and the stars would you believe it Games People Play in the middle of the night Where do we go from here now that all of the children have grown up and how do we spend our time knowin' that nobody gives us a damn I don't wanna live her no more I don't wanna stay Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life quietly fading away (chorus) Games People Play you take it or you leave it things that they say just don't make it right If I'm tellin' you the truth right now do you believe it Games People Play in the middle of the night (instrumental segment) Games People Play you take it or you leave it things that they say Honor Brite If I promise you the moon and the stars would you believe it Games People Play in the middle of the night Games People Play you take it or you leave it things that they say just don't make it right If I'm tellin' you the truth right now do you believe it Games People Play in the middle of the night Finess,you should surprise folks by adding this forgotten song to one of your sets.It would be totally unexpected.
