ONLY PLAYING GAMES - Jack Bruce

So close to one another

Dancing armoured shadows

Tornadoes

Chasing digital figures

With romantic names

Only playing games

Bright British bayonets

Bringing kingdom come

To the beat of a dark drum

Their work is not forgotten

Red is always shamed

Only playing games

People of the future

Scattered to the cities

Where they don’t want to be

Fighting desperate battles

With the diesel rain

Only playing games

So far from one another

Spending endless days

Far over the sea

Watch them burn

In the sun’s flame

Only playing games
