XTC Complicated Game

From their 1979 album Drums and Wires

Lyrics:

I ask myself should I put my finger to the left, no
I ask myself should I put my finger to the right, no
I say it really doesn't matter where I put my finger
Someone else will come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated game

A little girl asked me should she part her hair upon the left, no
A little girl asked me should she part her hair upon the right, no
I said it doesn't really matter where you part your hair
Someone else will come along and move it and it's
Always been the same
It's just a complicated game

A little boy asked me should he put his vote upon the left, no
A little boy asked me should he put his vote upon the right, no
I say it really doesn't matter where you put your vote
Someone else will come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated game

They wanted Tom
They wanted Joe
To dress 'em up and stick 'em out on show
They were arrows in a very bad aim
It's just a complicated game

God asked me should he ought to put his world on the left, no
God asked me should he ought to put his world on the right, no
I said God, it really doesn't matter where you put your world
Someone will come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated
Game

[warhols25]

Crushing commentary on this goddamn contemporary conformist society, simultaneously the best song by this underrated band from UK. Period.

[32INCHSTRIPER]

This seriously brings back some great fucking memories...

@aebugsbunny I'm a big floyd fan but your right, animals and the wall were made about the same time album debuted. floyd had all ready made their best stuff 4 years earlier.

22,222 views should be 222,222,222,222, simply sinister song with a nice, punchy baseline, but the reason this song has so few views is because it does not conform, the very topic of the song itself.

@bunkerDWG

You lucky, lucky, lucky , bastard :-D I'm green with envy :-)

[dylanwhostones]

I absolutly adored this album and this song when it first came out. To this day, the building anger and volume in the song is a priceless example of how artists can give voice to our frustration and rage!

@sovatebra  haha takodje zahvaljujuci Dokumentarcu o Ekv-u sam 2010 otkrio ovaj sjajan band :D

[aebugsbunny]

xtc could make statements like this without looking like pompous twits like the way overplayed pink floyd on the same record helicopter ten feet tall and complicated game and roads girdle the globe. now thats creative!
