Lyrics After The Show - Peter Hammill

After The Show

He made a bit of money
That’s something you might like to know…
He’ll be drinking in the cafe on the corner
After the show
He’s been so many people
He wore them all like poisoned vests
Still playing the soliloquy from Hamlet
Close to his chest
Where do the actors go after the show?
Where do the actors go?
He had his hour of glory
That’s something you should keep in mind…
When he’s drinking in the cafe on the corner
There’s no sense of time
Just waiting on for Godot
Convinced he’s been here years before…
He’s taken that philosophy in German
Square on the jaw
Where do the actors go after the show?
Where do the actors go?
He made a bit of money
That’s something you might like to know;
He’ll be drinking in the cafe on the corner
After the show
Where do the actors go after the show?
Where do the actors go?
