The Cardigans - My Favourite Game
The Cardigans are one of those bands that are aware of what they want and how to accomplish it. They've been on hiatus only twice from the beginning of their career and both times it was a planned break. The single "My Favourite Game" was released in 1998 and is considered their most popular song to this date. It was also featured in the soundtrack for the game Gran Turismo 2. The music video that goes with the song was filmed in the Mojave Desert and it has five different endings depenging on the amount of censorship added. In my opinion the song should have reached the top spot in at least a few countries, but unfortunately it only managed to climb to number 3 at the time.
Lyrics:
you haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up and spread me all around
in the dust of the deed of time
And this is not a case of lust, you see
it's not a matter of you versus of me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
but in the end it's always me alone
And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
losing my favourite game
I only know what I've been working for
another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
but my experiment is not getting us anywhere
I had a vision I could turn you right
a stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
my heart is black and my body is blue
And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
I've tried but you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
you're losing a saviour and a saint
