My Favourite Game Lyrics:
I don't know what you're looking for
You haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up, you 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 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
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
Losing my favourite game
I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I tried, I tried, (but you're still the same) I tried
I'm losing my baby
You're losing a saviour and a saint

It is my favorite song ! I have been looking for a filming location for this video for a long time and in the end I found it! This clip was filmed in the village of Daggett California. But now everything has changed there, the village is abandoned, and the restaurant and gas station are closed.

[@RobertoJRH]

Man, that's what I call a research!

[@weedmastersr]

Cool comment.

If you remember this song, you are not old. You are high quality vintage.

You're high quality vintage only if you can tell what different endings this videoclip had.

[@jessthehuman]

It's literally not even that old, jesus.

Will always love this song . Way ahead of her time with this , the band kills it too.

[@bluebirdrage]

Time flies i remember buying the c.d 22 years ago because i have been watching it on mtv or vh1 over and over again as a kid and i was just overwelmed by its beauty in each and every aspect. Thank you for this memory.

[@BSS22193]

You're absolutely right and i also REALLY REALLY LOVE Nina Persson she's AWESOME.

[@guerrilla_radio]

i've been on last concert at 2013 in Moscow. The band is very expressive and positive. After the concert, I felt peace in my heart.

[@cainbradley8697]

Man the 90s nostalgia is STRONG with this track

[@ingrogies1]

This video is iconic, really encapsulates the 90's

[@sofiaretrobliss7185]

Así es!!!!!

[@merskun2113]

Yeah at the time heroin was THE drug, low price, easy to find, best days

[@TZS24]

When I had my PS1 intact and functional. Never skipped that Gran Turismo 2 Intro

[@VEHICLEFAN5500]

Track is about the difficulties in a relationship between two people and the struggles they encounter when trying to make it work. The narrator is trying to make the relationship work, believing that he can turn it around. However, he discovers that his efforts are in vain and that no matter what he does, the outcome is always the same. In the end, he realizes that he is “losing his favourite game” and that he’s “losing his baby”. The song is a reflection of the struggles in relationships, of speaking one’s truth, and accepting that things cannot stay the same forever.

[@kallek919]

I saw Cardigans for free in Kungsträdgården (an open park in central Stockholm) in the summer of 1994. Their debut album had just been released and you could just walk up to the stage and seeing and hearing them up close while people passed by behind you on the way to something they thought was more important to devote to. A surreal and remarkabel experience when you think about how big they were just a few years later.

[@androidemulator6952]

".. on the way to something they thought was more important to devote to...." Sounds like a description of the current 21st century. May i use that line that KalleK coined??

[@scarlettbarber2367]

This song and “Love Me” by Lukaz are literally the only two things getting me through hard times, thank god for music! I love you. ❤️

[@jc_visuals7629]

I've just got that in my mind. I've seen it more then 10 yrs ago and looking for it for 20 min. Success!!!

[@ranierocicconetti6922]

A faboulous song of the '90s. The decade of my adulescence! Great and unforgettable experiences and remembers! Greetings from Teramo, Italy.

The Cardigans are rad, all their albums. You gotta listen to all the songs. My friend Joshe turned me onto them, and no regrets here.

[@BSS22193]

I'm so agree with you on that one, because i have all the songs from The Cardigans on my Cardigans playlist, and i really love all the songs from The Cardigans because they have only made really really great and beautiful music. And Nina's voice is really really unique in my opinion. 😍😍😍

[@anybody2501]

Such an underrated band imo. Their production and layering is always so damn unique compared to everything else out there

She's great in the Manic Street Preacher's "Your Love Alone." Hotter than ever.

Hi, sorry but English is not my primary language, I didn't understand what scullion-business is, I google it but couldn't find it. What does it mean?

[@AmadeuShinChan]

we know what business means, do we/do you? and scullion is a term, that I came [a]cross, when reading Nostradamus'-quatrains. My native language is also another than english... however: a scullion was a kitchen-worker for the lowest-jobs... a mere-slave so-to-speak. I'd have to tell you my life-story, or half of it to [ex]plain in further-[de]tail, So... maybe better keep it like that: life is a game or: For the claim of a life is with the [e]qality of a game (Correct-Parse-Syntax-Grammar, something that is worth being looked into..). :cheers. Are you from Spain?

[@n.o.mcitizenoftheworld]

No, I'm not from Spain, thank you for explaining. But still, we all people play a character, at all ages, like Shakespeare said "life is a stage and we are merely players", hope your life is ok, and if not you can always look at the bright side :) cheers bye! wish you all the best, and keep motivated, at least music always cheer me up ! :) ok now bye n_n

[@asmylia9880]

Nathalie OM Well, actually life is a purely gambling game. There are people who got luck at gambling and others who don't. So the equalization of life being a game is still correct.

Nah snowflakes didn't have a voice back then so the crying and whining was at a minimum for fear of being made fun of. Someone later told them their opinion was valid no matter how RETARDED it was and boom it started snowing. I had snowflake liberals actually tell me the word retarded was not politically correct and I should not use it. Aside from the obvious that the mentally challenged will not even understand what the word means there is also the glaring obvious fact that we don't use fire extinguishers to "mentally handicap" a fire, we retard it giving the word a valid reason for it use and popularity.
