My Favorite Game
Cardigans · Other Songs - Cardigans
I don't know what you're looking for
You haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up and spread me all around
In the dust of the deed of time
And this is not a case of lust, you see
It's not a matter of you versus me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
But in the end it's always me alone
And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
Losing my favourite game
I only know what I've been working for
Another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
But my experiment is not getting us anywhere
I had a vision I could turn you right
A stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
My heart is black and my body is blue
And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
Losing my favourite game
I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I've tried
I've tried
But you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
You're losing a saviour and a saint
You haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up and spread me all around
In the dust of the deed of time
And this is not a case of lust, you see
It's not a matter of you versus me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
But in the end it's always me alone
And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
Losing my favourite game
I only know what I've been working for
Another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
But my experiment is not getting us anywhere
I had a vision I could turn you right
A stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
My heart is black and my body is blue
And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
Losing my favourite game
I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I've tried
I've tried
But you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
You're losing a saviour and a saint
My Favorite Game - Cardigans
Released in 1994, 'My Favorite Game' stands as a defining track in the post-grunge and alternative rock landscape, spearheaded by the Swedish band Cardigans. The song features the band's signature blend of melodic pop structures with gritty, distorted guitar riffs, a sonic signature that would later influence a generation of rock musicians. While often associated with their debut album 'Boxer', the track's enduring popularity highlights the group's ability to merge emotional vulnerability with aggressive instrumentation. The song remains a staple of the era's sound, capturing the transition from indie pop to mainstream rock with its catchy chorus and driving rhythm.
