Theatre Of The Absurd |
My tea turned seven shades darker |
As I sit 'n' write these words |
And London’s gettin' paler |
In my theatre of the absurd |
You figured for an evening |
And you made it all worthwile |
It’s seldom people have a job |
And even rarer that I smile |
Play me some, play me some |
Play me Brixton power |
Teach your children to be them |
And never ever ours |
Play me some, play me some |
Play me Brixton power |
Someone took the park away |
But they left a lonely flower |
And if your songs be classics |
Throw them to the hurd |
Truth is where they came from |
And not this theatre of the absurd |
Some say you wanted to play for me |
But it’s only what you’ve heard |
That made you want to capture me |
In your theatre of the absurd |
It was not me, I said myself |
And you must do so, too |
I hope you have the strength to stay |
When I’ll be watchin' you |
So baby |
Play me some, play me some |
Play me Brixton power |
Teach your children to be them |
And never ever ours |
Play me some, play me some |
Play me Brixton power |
Someone took the park away |
But they left a lonely flower |
Oh when I got here back home tonight |
Something within me stirred |
Oh it must have been a different kind of play |
That touched my theatre of the absurd |
Now I’ll be on my way alone |
But an interesting thing occurred |
See nobody ever shared too much |
In my theatre of the absurd |
And there I was back in London |
Thought about history |
It was just like being in school again |
But I felt something movin' in me |
Hearin' just a bit of the future |
Oh it’s comin' and it’s still blurred |
And that’s the only thing worth living for |
In my theatre of the absurd |
Come on |
Play me some, play me some |
Play me Brixton power |
Teach your children to be them |
And never ever ours |
Oh play me some, play me some |
Play me Brixton power |
Someone took the park away |
But they left a lonely flower |
(Beautiful) |
Play me some, play me some |
Play me Brixton power |
Play me some, play me some |
Play me Brixton power |
(John, come on) |
Play me some, play me some |
Play me Brixton power |
Oh, play me some, (Come on, Eric) play me some |
Play me Brixton power |
Oh, play me some, play me some |
Play me Brixton power |
