It's A Game - Lyrics - Bay City Rollers

The Bay City Rollers were a Scottish pop band whose popularity was highest in the mid 1970s. The British Hit Singles & Albums noted that they were "tartan teen sensations from Edinburgh", and were "the first of many acts heralded as the 'Biggest Group since The Beatles' and one of the most screamed-at teeny-bopper acts of the 1970s". For a relatively brief but fervent period , they were worldwide teen idols. The group's line-up featured numerous changes over the years, but the classic line-up during its heyday included guitarists Eric Faulkner and Stuart Wood, singer Les McKeown, bassist Alan Longmuir, and drummer Derek Longmuir.

The clown came down to meet me With a smile upon his face He fired his starting pistol And began the human race There were faces all around me They were running everywhere But everywhere is nowhere And nowhere isn't there It's a game A game a game that we're playing Well I don't mind but I don't make the rules It's a game A game A game that we're playing Just a game for lovers and fools There's snakes upon your ladder And there's dice upon your skirt There's lipstick on my collar And there's sweat upon my shirt The neighbours will start talking But you know that I don't care For the neighbours they are nowhere And nowhere isn't there It's a game A game A game that we're playing...
