About

From an Andy Partridge interview on the Chalkhills website:

Complicated Game Lyrics

[Intro]
I ask myself, "Should I put my finger to the left?" No
I ask myself, "Should I put my finger to the right?" No
It doesn't really matter where I put my finger
Someone else will come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated ga-a-ame
It's just a complicated ga-a-ame

[Verse 1]
A little girl asked me, should she part her hair upon the left? No
A little girl asked me, should she part her hair upon the ri-ight? No
I said, "It really doesn't matter where you part your hair
Someone else will come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated ga-a-ame
It's just a complicated ga-a-ame."

[Verse 2]
A little boy asked me, should he put his vote upon the le-e-ef-ft?
A little boy asked me, should he put his vote upon the ri-ight?
I said, "It really doesn't matter where you put your vote
'Cause someone else'll come along and move it
And it's always been the same
It's just a complicated ga-a-ame
It's just a complicated ga-a-ame."

[Bridge]
They wanted Tom, they wanted Joe
To dress 'em up and stick 'em out on show
They were holding arrows in a very bad aim
It's just a complicated game!

[Verse 3]
God asked me, should he ought to put his world upon the left-eft-eft-eft? No
God asked me, should he ought to put his world upon the right-ight (Right right right)?
I said, "It doesn't really matter where you put your world
Someone will come along and move it
And it's always been the saame!

[Outro]
It's just a complicated game! Yeaah!
It's just a complicated ga-a-ame
It's just a complicated ga-a-ame
Just a complicated ga-a-a-ame
