You gotta be honest,
You gotta be guarded,
You sure aren't gonna say

Right on the inside,
That is the hardest,
The hardest game to play

You sorted it all out
And managed to slip through
The night into the day

Life and a soul
Do you ever get lonely?
I'm gonna take you on

Found a way to understand the things I'm learning
Found a way to understand the time you're burning
Found a way to understand the things I'm learning
Found a way to understand the time you're burning

Gotta be honest,
You gotta be guarded,
You sure aren't gonna say

Right on the inside,
That is the hardest,
The hardest game to play

Life and a soul
Do you ever get lonely?
I'm gonna take you on

Found a way to understand the things I'm learning
Found a way to understand the time you're burning
Found a way to understand the things I'm learning
Found a way to understand the time you're burning

I'm gonna take you on

Gotta be honest,
You gotta be guarded,
You sure aren't gonna say

Right on the inside,
That is the hardest,
The hardest game to play

Your second mistake is explaining your reasoning. Trust me on this.

The chorus is pretty much a straight rip off (whether intentional, coincidental, etc.) of a Mike Oldfield tune.
Trying to remember which. But I know it's MO.
 
The chorus is pretty much a standard "i - v - iv - i" (diatonic) chord progression, so I would guess it's coincidental - not a "rip-off" of any sort.

I swear I just heard one of those echo-y ghost gerbils from the beginning of Coldplay's Charlie Brown. I swear it.
I gotta be honest: they're growing on me

great band, totaly underrated!!
Thrilled to hear this on RP! Totally under-appreciated rockin' band!
If I like Band of Skulls, who else should I try to find, in the same zone? Thanks!

This is what one says to an irritated wife after stumbling home after a football game: "Baby, Darling, Doll Face, Honey ..."


Very nice, thanks, Bill             {#Dancingbanana}
