lyrics

Your eyes flick over the room searching for someone
Thinking of something
Assessing the exits
And planning your move
You play people like I play piano
This is your forte
A virtuoso performance
With every movement neatly in it's place
And you lie with impeccable taste
To say that it's made up on the spot
But it's not – it's strictly rehearsed

Your lips are quick with a quip and a kiss for the taking
Am I thinking of making
The biggest mistake my tongues ever made
You play people like I'm playing patience
Dealing then cheating
Waiting for aces
And every hard falls neatly into place
And you lie with impeccable taste
And say that it's made up on the spot
But it's not – it's strictly rehearsed

See how you play
Rules of your own that no-one else knows

Your inscrutable beautiful face hides what you’re feeling
So unrevealing
You could appear in Noh-theatre
Your face is a mask
you play people like I'm playing pac-man
Chasing ghosts more than most just 'cos you can
With every pattern neatly in it's place
And you lie with impeccable taste
Say that it's made up on the spot
But I've realised – it's strictly rehearsed

Strictly rehearsed
From chorus to verse
Nothing is worse
Cos it's slightly perverse
When cursed with
And the bubble has burst
