about

I wrote this as wrecked teenager in a rental basement suite surrounded by hopelessness. I think there is a chord for every word, almost like an old Hymn.

lyrics

Game Show Of Life
Words and Music: Richard Cummins

I heard the crash through the hall
Heard the smash, heard the fall
And I know – It’s not how I feel
It’s for real, welcome here
It’s the “Gameshow of life”

I smelled your brain start to rot
Oh! Was that the smell of your pot?
And I know it’s not your turn
But you’ll learn
As you waste your big chance at life

Chorus:
Life is a game show, it’s simple
If you know the rules
But I fear you do not
We’ll have to go through again, and again,
This time you might get it right…

Think: to live is a game
To win is your life
To lose is precisely what I had heard
Spin the wheel once or twice
Hope and pray that tonight is your lucky night

Chorus:
Life is a game show, it’s simple
If you know the rules
But I fear you do not
We’ll have to go through again, and again,
This time you might get it right…

I heard the crash through the hall
Heard the smash, heard the fall
And I know – It’s not how I feel
It’s for real, welcome here
It’s the “Gameshow of life”

How I feel, it’s for real
In this Gameshow of Life

She, having grown up on 50's rockabilly and country icons like Loretta Lynn, taught Richard the guitar at an early age. But it was upon his discovery of the Beatles that made Richard obsess over music, learning guitar, bass, piano & drums and writing boxes full of songs. ... more
