Song playing in my head again…
"My Favourite Game" is an alternative rock song written by Peter Svensson and Nina Persson for Swedish band the Cardigans' fourth studio album, Gran Turismo (1998). The song is the album's eighth track and was released as its first single on 14 September 1998. Lyrically, it is about a failing relationship and the attempt made to better the significant other or save people from themselves.
"My Favourite Game" achieved international success, reaching number one in Greece, number three in Sweden and number 14 in the United Kingdom. It also charted within the top 40 in several European countries and New Zealand. While it failed to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100, it peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
The accompanying music video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and features Persson joydriving on a desert road. It caused controversy due to its imagery of car crashes and reckless driving and resulted it being recut to tone down the violence and appear on music channels. The song was included in the 1999 video game Gran Turismo 2.

The Cardigans - My Favourite Game. “Stone Version”
[Verse 1]
I don't know what you're looking for
You haven't found it, baby, that's for sure
You rip me up, you spread me all around
In the dust of the deed of time
[Verse 2]
And this is not a case of lust, you see
It's not a matter of you versus me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
But in the end it's always me alone
[Chorus]
And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby, losing my favourite game
[Verse 3]
I only know what I've been working for
Another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
But my experiment is not getting us anywhere
[Verse 4]
I had a vision I could turn you right
A stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should've seen it when my hope was new
My heart is black and my body is blue
[Chorus]
And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby, losing my favourite game
[Outro]
I'm losing my favourite game (Losing my favourite game)
You're losing your mind again (I tried)
I tried but you're still the same (I tried)
I'm losing my baby
You're losing a saviour and a saint
