about

This is the version we recorded at Mute records in London. The other was in Seattle at Ironwood. Neither were put out on vinyl or CD or released to the public. We recently remastered all CL songs including this one in tribute to Mary's death in 2021. Char Easter translated the song with Luna Moss, who took it in very different directions. It's under the title "Crudest" on the self titled release by Luna Moss on bandcamp only. lunamoss.bandcamp.com/track/crudest

lyrics

Tiny Game
(version recorded in London, 1994)

Crudest
Fall into your heart
See direct
Fall, falling apart
Who is
Fall, up in your tower
History
Fall
Gone, the other way

Here’s the other way
Gallows to God send
Please go. You wanted all time
Why is dark
Water. Water
Don’t go
Believe her

Bemused all the time
Always
All day light

All the time, I am the living
All the time, I am in your dreams
All the time, I am the envy
All the time, I only look like
All of, all of, all of the time —so!

All, always
Please touch me now
All, always
Pieces of her rage
All, all ways
