About a word-player. A lyrical rap-like banter driven by drums and rhythm. Verses draw colorful scenes. A fun song and one of the lightest tracks on the album.

Lyrics

PLAY ON WORDS

Hum sing drum head
Heart soul words said
Cool give gun hand
Love live word sand

Say talk sky blue
They walk near you
Gin twist lemon lime
Glow kiss smoke sign

Hello world
Here I come
Down this road
Only one

Walking happy
Out of line
Talking double
Catch a rhyme

Floating on by
Beat to go
Bated breath now
In the flow

Coloured boating
Water bite is
No reflection on this
Summer night

Just a
Play on words
Spinning now
In the early hours
Round and round

What a funny game
They love to play
Doo ahh doo ay yay
Do it again

Deep end dude go
Swimming true
Butterfly
Abreast of you

Look on eastward
Heavy rain
Bowled over by a
Century again

Wheeler dealer
Roll an ace
Club together
Pack the place

Shake a leaf now
From that tree
Falling slow mo’ tell me
What you see

CHORUS

What a funny game
They love to play
Come day or night
There’s no respite
Do it again

These are pictures
In my head
Tumble down
Take a bow
Was it something
That you said
Or how I thought
It should be

Signs of give
And of take
More the latter
End to date
Black on white
We see red
On the new
Evening blues

Oh I listen
To my heart yeah
Instead of
My full mind

And the words
That it spells
Are a magnet
Apart

In a book
On TV
All the stories
That are told
I can feel them
In my soul
So can you
So can you

Autumn colours
Paint the day
Misty hours
You’re away

Winter warmer
Berry rouge
Knocks the socks off
Mr Scrooge

You scratch my back
I’ll hug yours
Puppy love don’t
Keep the score

Double trouble
Every line
Blame it on me and this
Circle of mine

CHORUS

What a funny game
For a break away
Doo ahh doo ay yay
Doo ahh doo ay
Do it again

Play on words
Play on words
On words
