Well, we haven't had one for a little while!

Sung to Rain King, by Counting Crows...

When I think of gaming,
(Deliver me a black-shaped box)
I think of flying
down in a sea of pads and joysticks.
and all other instruments,
of fun and games and Gods.
In the belly of a black-shaped box.
Just donít disturb me,
I've been killed before
and I deserve a little more.

-Chorus-
I belong, in the light of cathode rays.
I belong, anywhere where I can play.
and Iíve been playing,
Iíve been winning.
And I am the Game King

I said, Sony, Sony, Sony.
Why am I always home?
I can't go outside,
Iíd leave my console all alone.
I'm alive, Iím alive. But I'm only on life ten,
If there's any cheats for this game now,
Iíd better just type them in.
Don't try to beat me,I've beaten you before
and Iíll have the biggest score.

I belong, in the light of cathode rays.
I belong, anywhere where I can play.
and Iíve been playing ,and Iíve been winning.
And I am the Game King.

Hey, Iíll even play as anyone,
Solid Snake is waiting in the sun.
Oh, it seems games endlessly begin and end.
After they are over, I start them up again...

When I think of playing,
(Deliver me a multi-coloured box)
I think of monkeys.
Roll me round in a ball, picking up bananas.
Render me a body into the second level of a game,
In the body of Luigi with a ghost.
Don't try to stop me,
Cos I've been playing before
and I can play a little more.

I belong, in the light of cathode rays.
I belong, anywhere where I can play.
and Iíve been playing ,and Iíve been winning.
And I am the Game King.
I said, I am the Game King...
I said...I I I,I am the Game King....yeah!

(sorry to anyone who doesn't know the tune, but there's no excuse) ;-)

I borrowed august and everything after of one of my brothers mates, eventually had to steal it and gave him some crappy cd in exchange, since then have bought all their albums and can't wait for new material. Top band

Yep, Heard 'Round Here' when it first came out in the US and bought 'August and Everything After' when it came out soon after. Great band and the original of this is one of my favorites.

Reading it and listening to the song actually makes it a whole lot better. I can punctuate my post now.
