Guided By Voices - Game of Pricks

http://www.last.fm/music/Guided+by+Voices/Alien+Lanes/Game+of+Pricks

I first stumbled upon this because of the show IT Crowd. The creators of that show must have a huge obsession with GBV because they mention them all the time. "Game of Pricks" from Alien Lanes really got me into them so maybe it'll work for you too.

This song has an awesome chord progression and melody. Robert Pollard has a knack for writing catchy vocal melodies and brilliant lyrics and I really think this song showcases his talent.

I've waited too long to have you
Hide in the back of me
I've cheated so long I wonder
How you keep track of me

You could never be strong
You can only be free
And I never asked for the truth
But you owe that to me

I've entered the game of pricks
With knives in the back of me
Can't call you or on you no more
When they're attacking me

I'll climb up on the house
Weep to water the trees
And when you come calling me down
I'll put on my disease

You could never be strong
You can only be free
And I never asked for the truth
But you owe that to me
And I never asked for the truth
But you owe that to me
And I never asked for the truth
But you owe that to me
