Endgames was founded in 1980 by David Rudden , who recruited David Murdoch, and Paul Wishart in Glasgow. The trio became a sextet in 1982, including drummer Brian McGee of the Simple Minds, among others. In this year the band also released their first single, First, Last, For Everything.

In 1983 their debut album Building Beauty was released, the first single from the album, Waiting For Another Chance, was a hit in Germany (21st place in September 1983, 15 weeks in the charts), but did little elsewhere. The band toured with several other groups, including the Eurythmics and released a second album, Natural, in 1985. The album sold poorly and is hard to find nowadays.

(Uh)

You always think I might
Take you all right through the night
You always wait at home
I'll wait for you

Uh-huh

And follow intermission
People cry for other sides
They either miss
Or they will never miss

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Oh, look at these people
They will come across disguised
They'd rather walk across the line

Oh, look at these people
They will come across disguised
I'd rather walk another mile

You're first, you're last
For everything, for everything
You're first, you're last
For everything, for everything

I've always been one to a good heart
To be part or partial
Or have the time to give
You'll hear them say

Uh-huh

And in that worry
You can never cry, I'd never cry
As much as those whose eyes
Are in our hearts

Uh-huh, uh-huh

Oh, look at these people
They will come across disguised
They'd rather walk across the line

Oh, look at these people
They will come across disguised
I'd rather walk another mile

You're first, you're last
For everything, for everything
You're first, you're last
For everything, for everything

a danceable fun edgy song in the 80s synth wave style. seems tame now but was very groundbreaking at the time with its loopy harpsicord and backing male tenor angel singers. good job boys...to scotland with love from canada xxx

Memories of John Peel!
Absolutely love this and remember it 40 years later! I was just composing a new song and the keyboards reminded me of it. The backwinding on the original demo was absolutely amazing.

+Jeff Yardley Yes, I too remember this song was worth $150! I also remember The Puppets - Way of Life also fetching about the same! I even went to Virgin records in Leeds UK looking for this title, but no luck. Wasn't until SPG music brought out the Hardest Hit's Collection did everyone get their hands on it. I DID know a girl who's boyfriend shelled out the $300 for the two songs, and gave me a copy on cassette! Nothing like CFNY from the 80's! Shame how Don Berns passed away about 9 months ago :-(

Produced by Steve Levine. Released as a single in the UK in October 1982.

Late 1982 / early 1983 is one of the best periods for pop music in my opinion.

Maybe this was more popular in Canada than the UK for some reason. Never heard it before, and I'm British. It's a fantastic early 80s track.

@imdjc4

@Andrew JS It was considered one of the most rare and sought after alternative tracks during the 80s and 90s. Back then, a copy could fetch over $120. Now, the market has since been flooded with many releases.
