Showtime |
| Showtime |
| Hang a guitar on my shoulder |
| Check the vacant drooling faces round the room |
| Another heartbreak battle |
| And I’m only getting older |
| Jesus help me when I say I’ll give it all up pretty soon |
| Daytime |
| Time to fight the morning’s headache |
| Gulp an aspirin bang together one more song |
| Inspiration cauterised |
| By years of useeless heartache |
| Every shallow nights reaction sounding twisted up and wrong |
| These last years |
| Years gone down to the showtime |
| Showtime |
| Try to catch the spark |
| That got me hooked so many years ago and died |
| Second-rate musicians |
| Feeding infantile illusions |
| Reading music magazines to keep the habit satisfied |
| Pitching |
| To some demographic average |
| What the hell he’s staying home for, I don’t see him here tonight |
| Thirteen years and over |
| Tuned to radio between the hours |
| Of six and seven-thirty, AM programmer’s delight |
| These last years |
| Years gone down to the showtime |
| I never knew it could be |
| So misleading |
| Waiting for the final song to end |
| In this dirty nightclub |
| All the souls are bleeding |
| Reaching for the big decision |
| Disco floor or television |
| Time and time again |
| You hear the so-called friends |
| The smug de-facto critics in their movie backdrop cities |
| Sneering sitdown and listen |
| Life’s a lonely escalator |
| It’s a fool who doesn’t know he has to leap off at the end |
| Well they were never at the guesthouse |
| With the ghost of Jimmy Rodgers |
| Watching Townsville sugar sunsets back in 1959 |
| And they’ll all be gone when the end is come |
| And I’m kneeling in the backroom |
| Crying Lord I’m just a trouper, let me play it one more time |
| These last years |
| Years gone down to the showtime |
