Gary Lucas, Peter Hammill - This Is Showbiz

Текст песни

For sure it came as a surprise
Out of the corner of my eye
Totally unexpected
I saw your face in the crowd
I felt as tired as tired could be
Used up my every drop of energy
Just getting through the livelong day
Somehow I’ll find a way top make it pay
Totally unexpected
I see your face in the crowd
If I’m allowed I’ll celebrate the song
The only time is now
The show must carry on
You don’t get ill, though your friends will, this is showbiz
You don’t get ill, you’re not roadkill, this is showbiz
You don’t get ill, hold your head still, this is showbiz
You don’t get ill, pop the will pill, this is showbiz
This is showbiz, you don’t get ill
Somehow you’ve got to see it through
Now you’ve clawed your way to the top of the bill
Everbody’s waiting for you
For sure it comes as a surprise
I’ve found a strength my weedy frame belies
If I’d not made it here tonight
I’d not have seen you in this shining light
Totally unexpected
I saw your face in the crowd
