Love Is a Losing Game (Live At Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London / 2007)

[Verse 1]
For you, I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game
One I wish I'd never played
Oh, what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

[Verse 2]
Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand, yeah
And it was more than I could stand
Love is a losing hand
Self professed, profound
'Til the chips were down
Know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

[Verse 3]
Though, though, though, though, though I battle blind
Love, love is a fate resigned
And the memories, thе memories mar my mind
Love is a fatе resigned, oh
Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

[Outro]
Thanks for not leaving during that song! It's, um...I'm serious. Um...what'd you reckon? You know what, let's do "Valerie." "Valerie"? Let's keep it, let's do it faster though. Not faster, come on now
