lyrics

The game, strange game
Losing again
No pay, terrible aches
Remember we’re bound to break
Just us, well we mend
The mind shifts and we can pretend

But money money
Always want your money
Man give a little
Don’t take the rest of my rented mind
My rented mind

The child awakes
Meeting a wild wind trail
And he sails agreed
On to a wider field
And he’s freed

But money money
Always want your money
Man give a little
Don’t take the rest of my rented mind
My rented mind

The game, strange game
Convinced it’s a shame
Today, scrambling heads
Watching whilst we’re in our beds
Nowhere to hide
We love the gun my our side
And our pride

But money money
Always want your money
Man give a little
Don’t take the rest of my stupid pride
My stupid pride

To work, we burn
Out and the little we earn
Goes down and the pounds
Fall out our pockets to the ground
To the ground

But money money
Always want your money
Man give a little
Don’t take the rest of my
Money money
Always want your money
Man give a little
Don’t take the rest of my
Money money
Always want your money
Man give a little
Don’t take the rest of my rented mind
And my stupid pride
Pride
Pride

The game, strange game.

about

Beth Porter Newton Stewart, UK

The songs from When The Lights Are Bright are dark, quirky, charming and ethereal Chamber-Pop, and depict themes such as fear, confusion, money, the weather and the odd cheesy love song, all carried by Beth’s pure and unaffected voice. Marshes have been likened to Cat Power, The Beatles, REM, This Is The Kit, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Radiohead, The Incredible String Band and The Kinks. ... more
