The Game

Always have patience and don’t be unkind
Lead with your heart and never tell a lie
Keeping the score is so boring to me
Rules, they were made for breaking as I please
And I like the game
I don’t have to win
When the morning comes, I’ll do it all again
Love and devotion hang by a thread
Virtue unravels every move ahead
They’re saying things I’ll never know
My heart is racing playin’ touch-and-go
But I like the game
I don’t have to win
When the morning comes, I’ll do it all again
I like the game
I don’t have to win
I like the game
I don’t have to win
When the morning comes, I’ll do it all again

Did You Hear?

Did you hear what he did to me?
Don’t repeat this, please
I couldn’t stand the shame (What’s the word?)
He played it cool, but I know where he’s been
I’m not a fool, still I’m wondering
Will he ever really love me?
In spite of all that he’s done
I was number one
But now he never says— what’s the word?
It’s nothing new, he does this all the time
I stick around ‘cause everyone lies
Will he ever really love me?
Instead of looking for a girl who has more
It’s always someone new
He's gonna hurt her too
What else can I say?
I can’t walk away
If there’s a chance that he still loves me
Did you hear what
Did you hear what
Did you hear what
Did you hear what
Did you hear what (He did to me?)
Did you hear what (He did to me?)
Did you hear what (He did to me?)
Did you hear what (He did to me?)

Kisses

Feel so lonely without your love
Dreaming’s not enough
Riding by your house every day
Waiting, hoping you’ll say
Kiss me baby (Kiss me baby, don’t you worry)
I’ve got time (Take your time, I’m in no hurry)
Kiss me baby, right (Kiss me baby, don’t you worry ‘bout a thing)
Lean a little closer to me
Tint of pink, black honey, or peach—
What’s a pretty rouge shade on me?
Do you like my hair when it’s curled?
Tell me I’ll be your girl
Kiss me baby (Kiss me baby, don’t you worry)
I’ve got time (Take your time, I’m in no hurry)
Kiss me baby, right (Kiss me baby, don’t you worry ‘bout a thing)
Lean a little closer to me
Wearing something you can’t ignore
Open the door
Kiss me baby (Kiss me baby, don’t you worry)
I’ve got time (Take your time, I’m in no hurry)
Kiss me baby, right (Kiss me baby, don’t you worry ‘bout a thing)
Lean a little closer (Better if it’s slower)
Lean a little closer (Better if it’s slower)
Lean a little closer to me
Baby, please kiss me

Closer, Davide
Can you hear me whisper your name?
Don’t hide, Davide
Searching for a soul (I need you)
No one wants to call you their own
I’ll try, Davide
Don’t waste your time (Don’t waste it)
Waiting for the world to open wide
Roll on, Davide (Davide)
Let me give you wings (I need you more)
Floating like a bird in the spring
So high, Davide (Davide)
Don’t change your mind (Don’t change it)
Velvet valley’s shining from your light
Hold on, Davide (Davide)
Ready for a thrill?
Twenty-three and over the hill
Goodnight, Davide (Davide, Davide)
Davide (Davide, Davide)
Davide (Davide, Davide)...

Jealousy, bring all your love to me
Jealousy, when you’re touching her knee
You found someone new (You found someone new)
Oh well, what can you do? (Oh well)
You found someone who (You found someone who)
Is giving everything I wanted to (Oh well, I wanted to)
Jealousy, never thought I would be
Jealousy, a ragtime melody
You found someone new (You found someone new)
Oh well, I guess we’re through (Oh well)
You found someone who (You found someone who)
Will see your point of view, but I can too (Oh well, but I can too)
Jealousy, made my own misery
Jealousy, will I ever be free?
Jealousy, bring all your love to me (Oh well, what can you do?)
Jealousy, bring all your love to me (Oh well, what can you do?)
Jealousy, jealousy (Oh well, what can you do?)
Jealousy, jealousy (Oh well, what can you do?)

Now I Love You
01:59

Did I fall in love too quickly?
‘Cause I’ve got this rushing feeling
Taking over like a puppy with fleas
Or a heather for a honeybee
Do you wanna play pretend?
You’ll be Mickey and I’m the girlfriend
I need a lover, someone to keep me in line (Now I love you)
Who gives me shivers up and down my spine (Need to love me)
Can we meet again on Sunday?
If you’re busy, I’m free on Monday
Will you call me? Because I’m feeling alone (Now I love you)
I need somebody to rub and jump my bones (Need to love me)
Where can we go and get away from it all?
Somewhere we can talk
Now I’m on my own and wonder
Will I ever find another
Who can take me? But I should’ve known (Now I love you)
There’s nobody when you’re feeling so alone (Need to love me)
Did I fall in love too quickly?
Did I fall in love too quickly?
Did I fall in love too quickly? (Now I love you)
Did I fall in love too quickly? (Need to love me)

Skipping Around

Don’t go skipping around with my man
No skipping around
Right outside you’re walking by
The love that you once had
Thinking time would change his mind
And he’ll come running back
Now you see he’s into me
Got a real thing goin’ down
What you learn, it makes you burn
Wanna take him on the town
Did I see you cross the street?
Tryna hold his hand
Sorry girls like you just don’t understand
Don’t go skipping around with my man
No skipping around
Don’t go skipping around with my man
No skipping around
You advance without a chance
He’s a good one, you should know
Run along to someone else
Gonna wear down on your soles
Don’t expect an answer when
You’re knocking at his door
Tying up the laces with
The one he left you for
Did I see you cross the street?
Thinkin’ you’re so sly
Stay away, it’s over, say “goodbye”
Don’t go skipping around with my man
No skipping around
Don’t go skipping around with my man
No skipping around
Don’t go skipping around with my man
No skipping around
Don’t go skipping around with my man
No skipping around

Other Boys

In summertime, he meant all the world to me
Precious as it seems
I learned to cry, but forgotten how to smile
Other girls, they know
The way of love and laughter
Putting on a show
Other girls, they know
How to set a mind at ease
Keep him if he leaves
So I should try to amuse his idle pride
Other boys, they go (I’m waiting for you to go)
Away for someone who will never tell him no (I’m waiting for you to go)
Other boys, they go
Gonna lose another round
Other girls, they know (I’m waiting for you to go)
To say, “I love you more than words could ever show” (I’m waiting for you to go)
A way for other boys to never let her go
Other girls, they know

Goodbye

Please, don’t shed a tear for me now
When you’re dreaming, I’ll be around
Not far away, but I can’t stay
Goodbye, Johnny
No, It’s not forever
So long, Sue
Someday, we’ll be together
Will you cry or dance where I lay?
Bring me flowers on my birthday?
And in the end, we’ll meet again
Goodbye, Mona
No, it’s not forever
So long, Rainy
Soon, we’ll be together
Goodbye, Emily
It’s not forever
So long, Eva
Soon, we’ll be together

Won’t disagree, love when you take the lead
And to pretend that I can’t comprehend
I’m just playin’ (I’m dim dum-dum)
I’m just playin’ (I’m dim dum-dum)
I’m just playin’ dumb (I’m dim dum-dum)
Playin’ dumb (I’m dim dum-dum)
Never confess I’m not really impressed
Misunderstand so you feel like a man
I’m just playin’ (I’m dim dum-dum)
I’m just playin’ (I’m dim dum-dum)
I’m just playin’ dumb (I’m dim dum-dum)
Playin’ dumb (I’m dim dum-dum)
Let you explain how the world’s gone insane
And all the while, roll my eyes, hide my smile
I’m just playin’ (I’m dim dum-dum)
I’m just playin’ (I’m dim dum-dum)
I’m just playin’ dumb (I’m dim dum-dum)
Playin’ dumb (I’m dim dum-dum)
I’m just playin’ (I’m dim dum-dum)
I’m just playin’ (I’m dim dum-dum)
I’m just playin’ dumb (I’m dim dum-dum)
Playin’ dumb (I’m dim dum-dum)
I’m just playin’ (I’m dim dum-dum)
I’m just playin’ (Dim dam dum-dum)
I’m just playin’ dumb (I’m so humdrum)
Playin’ dumb (Dim dam dum-dum)

Versions of Modern Performance
by Horsegirl
supported by 20 fans who also own “Playin' Dumb”
Great material, great performances, and a truly muddy mess of a mix on most of the record. The drums are mostly just thuds in the distance. I still appreciate this band and hope that they'll work with better engineers in the future. I've heard some of these songs played live and they sounded so much better than they do here.

Echo-drenched lo-fi indie pop from this Japanese group that has all of the charm of a classic Sarah Records release.
