Sparks - Academy Award Performance lyrics
[Sparks - Academy Award Performance lyrics]
Play the shark, play the bride
Joan of Arc, Mrs hyde
You're a girl with a thousand
Faces to choose from, do one
Do the saint, do the waif
Do the child, that was great
Great performances only come
With some inspiration
Oh, what a great performance
What a convincing performance
An Academy Award performance
Well produced, clever lines
Well rehearsed, well defined
There's a goldmine in what you do
But of course you know that
That's not bad, nor is that
Very good, so was that
On behalf of the guys you've known
Here's your golden trophy
Oh, what a great performance
What a convincing performance
An Academy Award performance
Play the scene, naturelle
Drop the lights, drop the towel
No director can tell you what you should do
You'll do it what panache, oh what style
Pack the house, pack the aisles
Everyone's in the dark when
You're in the room, those rumors
Oh, what a great performance
What a convincing performance
An Academy Award performance
Oh, what a great performance
What a convincing performance
An Academy Award performance
Joan of Arc, Mrs hyde
You're a girl with a thousand
Faces to choose from, do one
Do the saint, do the waif
Do the child, that was great
Great performances only come
With some inspiration
Oh, what a great performance
What a convincing performance
An Academy Award performance
Well produced, clever lines
Well rehearsed, well defined
There's a goldmine in what you do
But of course you know that
That's not bad, nor is that
Very good, so was that
On behalf of the guys you've known
Here's your golden trophy
Oh, what a great performance
What a convincing performance
An Academy Award performance
Play the scene, naturelle
Drop the lights, drop the towel
No director can tell you what you should do
You'll do it what panache, oh what style
Pack the house, pack the aisles
Everyone's in the dark when
You're in the room, those rumors
Oh, what a great performance
What a convincing performance
An Academy Award performance
Oh, what a great performance
What a convincing performance
An Academy Award performance
