One of the more upbeat songs on Snow Patrol’s 2003 album Final Straw, ‘Spitting Games’ was released as the lead single.
[Verse 1]
I broke into your house last night
And left a note at your bedside
I'm far too shy to speak to you at school
You leave me numb, and I'm not sure why
[Verse 2]
I find it easier to sit and stare
Than push my limbs out towards you right there
My heart is bursting in your perfect eyes
As blue as oceans and as pure as skies
[Chorus]
I struggle for the words and then give up
My head's up with the birds in the t-hut
A little peace of mind that I know better
Than the plain disgrace of all my letters
[Verse 3]
But after that, the floodgates opened up
And I fell in love with everyone I saw
Please take your time, I'm not in any rush
And it's in everything I ever write
[Chorus]
It's not as if I need the extra weight
Confused enough by life, so thanks a lot
Lonely written words for company
Just raise the roof this once and follow me
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
I struggle for the words and then give up
My head's up with the birds on the t-hut
A little peace of mind that I know better
Than the plain disgrace of all my letters
Spitting Games was written by Snow Patrol.
Spitting Games was produced by Jacknife Lee.
Snow Patrol released Spitting Games on Mon Sep 15 2003.
According to Gary Lightbody in 2013:
‘Spitting Games’ is written about that kind of inept but sweet, kind of silly first love. All the pitfalls you fall into, all the stupid things your friends say to you that love is, kissing is or sex is over the years, when you’re from a child to an adolescent....
