LEVEL 42 - PLAY ME (LIVE AT READING U.K. 2001)

Another great track, that is perhaps less well known than some of the other songs the group brought out.

I must say you're really something else

The way you're tearing down my house
And I know you'd never stoop so low
As to rebuild it somewhere else

You know how to play me
Everybody knows you can handle me
Play me

Nothing can compare with what I've found today


It hasn't always been this good
I haven't always loved you like I should

But it's really something else
I love you like I never thought I could

You got to play me
Everybody knows I been woman handled

Play me

Nothing can compare with what I've found today

Been out on my own
For too many years
You came not a day too soon - I was out of my mind
You swallowed my pride
And dried all my tears
Gone is the only tune
I sang

You really know
You really know how to
You really know how to play me

All the women of my dreams
Were the kind who lived beyond my means

But I know you'd never stoop so low
Your love is always what it seems

You got to play me
Everybody knows I've been - woman handled

Play me

Nothing can compare with what I've found today

Here in the night
It's a shot in the dark
For sure that's a chance I'll take -one day at a time
A feeling so right
It's a walk in the park
It's so easy to make or break
She sang
So easy

Suis reste seul
Pour trop longtemps
Vide de coeur
Vide de sens
Tu es arrivee
Secher mes larmes
Reconforte, je te regarde

i can play this pretty funky on my guitar. play this rock chords (on the E-A-D or A-D-G) and then play E-E-F#-G-A-A-A-A. the refrain is kinda with A-B-C#, just try out, it's wicked!

Do music companies have ears???

This song is a gem!! Pure genius. The lyrics, written to an awesome song. Simply amazing:)  This deserves more than 5 stars!

[bluenile35]

Fantastic track. I'll never understand why it wasn't on the original release of 'Forever Now'.

[saxplayer59]

What I cannot stand is a band laying down a groove so solid that you should see nothing but a packed dance floor of babes front and center but here you see a bunch of sitting dead slugs!! WTF people? can you fog a glass slide? damn that pisses me off

[intoarut]

Oh my gosh!! Were the people asleep or what??? They didn't move... they hardly clapped (even when Mark asked them to!) The figures in the RITF video were much too alive!

[lired70]

@RacManRhythm: You are so right!! Today's music is canned, computer generated and just plain awful. Mark King And Level 42, is a band that has been so underated!! They have been making brillant and timeless music for 30 years. I don't think that you will see any of today's musicians touring 30 years later!

[RacManRhythm]

@lired70 Music companies nowadays only cater for mostly morons with no real grasp of real music, thats why we've got so much crap in our charts, the best music around today certainly is from guys like these, real musicians.

[dawnofpossesion]

[fassaalbrecht]

it's a bassist thing. I do it.
