|
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.
