Words and music by Richard Kilbey

lyrics

Hide & Seek

I’m so confused by your biology
So bemused by your biography
I tried my best but I gave up on page 31

Got arrested by your wayward charms
Is this magic or am I so hopeless
I’m held helpless by your hypnotic eye
Guess who’s turn to cry

So close your eyes and count to a thousand
See how well I can hide
Better run, run, run, run, run

Run away from you
Hidden out of view
Not that you’ll give chase
You don’t put on your painted face
For nobodies like me
That I’d like to see

Sent me blind with your photography
Got marooned by your geography
It’s the little things that give yourself away

You won’t make a choice, you want the lot
If I told you what I really thought
You’d be madder than a cat out of hell with its arse on fire
Tell me I’m no liar

So close your eyes and count to a thousand
See how well I can hide
I’d better run, run, run, run, run

There’s more concealed than is revealed
Within your hidden agenda
And I won’t play your dangerous games

There’s more concealed than is revealed
Within your mercenary agenda
And I won’t play your games, not your games
None of your games, no not your games
