The song was first released from Graham's Bonnet single album "Night Games" (A-side "Night Games" and B-side "Out On The Water") by Vertigo Records in 1981.
The video was recorded at NAKANO SUNPLAZA, TOKYO JAPAN IN 28/1/1984 for "Alcatrazz" Metallic Live concert.
Alcatrazz was an American heavy metal band formed in 1983 by Graham Bonnet, Jimmy Waldo and Gary Shea. They are best known for their songs "Island in the Sun" and "God Blessed Video".
The band's initial line-up consisted of former Rainbow singer frontman Graham Bonnet, young Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen, who had recently left American band Steeler, Gary Shea and Jimmy Waldo from New England and Clive Burr of Iron Maiden fame. Burr was reportedly only in the band for a week, and left upon discovering the band was going to be based in the United States, as opposed to his native England. Burr was soon replaced by former Iron Butterfly drummer Jan Uvena, who had just left Alice Cooper's backing band. Shea dubbed the group "Alcatrazz". For the first album, the bulk of the material was written by Bonnet and Malmsteen, with Waldo contributing to several tracks.
"Night Games" lyrics:
See the man in the busy street
He's almost incomplete
He takes his pleasure in strange ways
And the lady in the library
She's just like you and me
You wouldn't know her at all.
She takes a train up to the great big city
She knocks a door and steps right in
He's just a fool that some would like to pity
They work to out in the house of sin.
Night games
They pay for their night games
They were two lovers, they don't use names
It says in the rules
It's strictly for cools to play their night games
They pay for their night games
Always play one last frame
Games of the night
Every room is a different scene
Every one has a different dream
They make it anyway they choose
You can get anything you need
Anyone if the price's agreed
And nothing left for you to lose
It's entertainment for the lost and lonely
And cabaret for those who dare
The last attainment of the one and only
It's got to be to get you there.
Night games
They pay for their night games
They were two lovers, they don't use names
It says in the rules
It's strictly for cools to play their night games
They pay for their night games
Always play one last frame
It says in the rules
Night games
They pay for their night games
They were to lovers, they don't use names
It says in the rules
It's strictly for cools to play their night games
They pay for their night games
Always play one last frame
It says in the rules...
