Lyr Req: The Cruel Game

Having already checked all the song collections I have plus the DT, might I ask if any of you have the lyrics to a song entitled "The Cruel Game", apparently performed by Planxty on their "Cold Blow and the Rainy Night" album?

cheers,

A

There's no song of that name on that album.  Can you quote a bit of it?

Sorry, didn't know it wasn't on that album. The person who rang me up earlier today said it was. I don't happen to have the album myself; can't quote any of the text. Thanks anyway. Anyone else have a clue?

cheers,

Aux

Just checked the discography...don't see that title on any of their albums. Sure of the group?

No, not sure; will have to get back to the person who's looking for the song. They did say it wasn't about war or a rebel song, but about unhappy romance rather. Thank you both anyway.

cheers,

Aux

It isn't on any De Danaan albums I could find either Aux... any more clues?

p.s. there was nothing wrong with the songs you sent, apart from the absence of a French duo I quite like.

There is a song called The Cruel War which is a love song. Could that be it?
