Theatre of the Absurd (2000 Remaster)

歌詞

My tea turned seven shades darker As I sit 'n' write these words And London's gettin' paler In my theater of the absurd. You figured for an evening And you made it all worthwhile It's seldom people have a job And even rarer that I smile [Chorus] 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 herd Truth is where they came from And not this theater 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 theater 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. [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] (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...
