Just a game

from Self Assembly by Jim Pearson

/

lyrics

It’s just a game to you, just a game
Who do you think you’re kidding
There simply is no winning with you

Playing cards one rainy afternoon
You showed your hand and led me to your room
We lit a fire from fallen leaves
You kept your aces up your sleeves
Playing cards one rainy afternoon

Everything was painted black and white
You would be my queen I’d be your knight
Then you knocked me down like dominoes
When you told me it was time to go
Everything was painted black and white
I didn’t know it would only be one night

After all the in-betweens, the I-don’t-knows and could-have-beens
We didn’t even make it to the start

It took a while to understand it was you who held a loser's hand
It didn’t stop you playing with my heart

It’s just a game to you, just a game
With no end and no beginning
There simply is no winning

It’s just a game to you, just a game
Who do I think I’m kidding?
There simply is no winning with you

"You never can be sure what kind of project Jim will come up with next, but you can always be sure it's gonna be pretty darn good." Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music.

Jim's songs range from the whimsical to some of the most bitter and somber themes, yet always with a paradoxical childlike spirit that meets them head-on – wide-eyed and full of hopeful energy.
