IAN HUNTER - Theatre Of The Absurd lyrics

rate me

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