Ian and I were having a phone conversation once and we discovered that we both like the song "It's Love (Don't You Know)" by Rabbit which served as the theme to the Ranma 1/2 movie, "Big Trouble in Nekonron, China".
And thus, a b-side was born! Trish Ledoux's translations of Ranma 1/2 songs were always written to be usable lyrics, so use them we did.
lyrics
Can't stand those guys hangin' around you all the time They all want you, you're so nervous In a word, you're like a Venus Miracle girl you went from fantasy to life From within my deepest desert You're an undiscovered jewel Just lean on me, I'll be here No matter what happens You're the one I won't give up on Head to toe, I'm crazy for you
Even though I cannot see that two hearts can be one Wanna believe it - - eye to eye Every now and then, I wanna make sure that it's real Don't you know, know, know...? It's love.
Kissed by the sun, your tan's a color that's hard - won Oh, I can't believe you're action I get dizzy from the tension On those rare nights I spend alone, not in your light Tired eyes, darkened enigma And the shadows keep me from you Without you, nothin' goes right - - I'm just half alive Style, smile A to Z, I'm mad about you
Even though I cannot see that two hearts can be one Wanna feel through it - - heart to heart Every now and then, we gotta know for sure it's real Don't you know, know, know...? It's love.
When you're "you" again you'll soon become my one and my only Show me all your tears, let me comfort all your fears Show them just to me I won't let you go; I won't go away Stay like this with you forever more Let the days pass as they may, my love And then, someday we'll come together
Even though I cannot see that two hearts can be one Wanna believe it - - eye to eye Every now and then, I wanna make sure that it's real Don't you know, know, know...? Even though I cannot see that two hearts can be one Wanna feel through it - - heart to heart Every now and then, we gotta know for sure it's real Don't you know, know, know...? It's love.

This album is pretty much "all good" as they say. I like all the tracks, but somehow, "The Games I Used To Play" was my life in the '80s. Ian, you've done it again! roboknight
